Yes, thank you! I was afraid we'd run out of bugs.

Fix comes.

Ha!, yep must be getting close.

I just tested 26.30.0300 in my main config and the issues I was having there (which were encountered differently than in the posted repro) look resolved now too, thanks!

I'd been unsuccessful in trying to make that repro so many times and kept giving up, so glad to have eventually found all the required criteria.

[admin]

Thanks for the repro. I can see it was hard work to make it.

PS: Just saw that the fix doesn't cover all possible cases yet. It will tomorrow.

I'm using .0401, and now that the previous issue is out of the way it made this one easier to isolate. I have found that running the following script produces a similar issue as before, the use of SC tab seems a requirement, but the trigger can instead be other cmds eg. timestamp.

Code: Select all

tab("new", "vi:<xypath>"); sel 1; msg "After this dialog closes the issue should be visible", 16; timestamp;

Yep, got it.

Would it be possible for VFO's to remember selection on tab switch?

[admin]

Good question. It is quite possible, but I deliberately removed it on 2023-01-12. Strangely, I made no note of why I did this At the moment I can see nothing to prevent it, so I will make it possible again.

Had no time to check the change yesterday, sorry.
I thought it might have not been implemented because if you use a pick var that the wrong files might get selected when the root changes, but that doesn't seem to happen, so far it seems to work great, thanks.

Also FYI VFO's have been working great for me now, but one minor cosmetic issue, not sure its even worth mentioning, if you use a VFO caption, and have tab HoverBox enabled the icons get partially corrupted, eg:

To repro in fresh,

• Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box
• Configuration | Information | File Info Tips & Hover Box | Show Hover Box | Select Context == [x] Tabs
• $l = "<pick 4 '%WINDIR%'>"; tab("newb", "vi:$l //""CAP""");
• >> Hover tab icon

[admin]

Yep. Should be fixed in next beta.
