#5 Changing values using slider in "Other Options" automatically applies the changes to application
Problem Description
When the “Other Options” command from Options in the Menu bar, the Edit Component window opens up with sliders and text boxes for setting Time step size and Range for voltage color along with Apply and OK buttons. If the desired values are entered in the text boxes, the Apply or OK buttons should be used in order for the new values to be set. If the values are changed using the slider, the changes are effective immediately even if Apply or OK buttons are not used to suggest that the changes are intended.
Steps to reproduce the problem
- Start CircuitMod
- From Circuits in the Menu bar, select an existing circuit or blank circuit
- Optional: Modify existing circuit or add some components if blank circuit was selected
- From Options in the Menu bar, select “Other Options” which will open a window with default values as shown in the image below
- Use the slider to change the values of either the Time step size, Range for voltage color or both and close the window instead of clicking Apply or OK buttons
- Notice that when "Other Options" is selected again, the window shows that the previously changed values are still in effect
Suggested Fix
In the Edit Component box, the values for Time step size or Range for voltage color should only be changed if the user uses the Apply or OK buttons to indicate that changes are intended. This should be the case regardless of the method (either text box or slider) used to change values.
