#892 Switching between maps marks them as modified

[Eric L.]

Hi,

Steps to reproduce:
- open more than one map at once
- switch between maps without doing any change
- maps are marked has having being modified

Please fix this, it's very annoying to be looking at one map, quickly switch tabs to check another map, then switch back to the first tab, and BOTH maps are marked as modified. You're constantly hitting ctrl-s when switching tabs to avoid getting a modification warning message later, and there's absolutely no need for it whatsoever. This is currently the only problem I'm having with FreeMind...

I confirm the problem with 0.9.0 RC6, on Windows Vista.

I opened two previously saved mind maps, and I switched between them. Now they are marked as modified using "*". I saved both of them, and the "*" disappeared. I switched between them, whichafter they were marked using "*" again.

Not a showstopper; not a regression bug. But it seems that this makes the "*" marking wholly unusable, unless a person keeps only one mind map open. --Dan

Affected subreleases: I can reproduce the bug in 0.9.0 RC4 and 0.9.0 RC6, but not in 0.9.0 RC3 and earlier. Tested on Windows Vista, Java 1.6.0. --Dan

Update:

Affected subreleases: I can reproduce the bug in 0.9.0 RC4 and 0.9.0 RC6, but not in 0.9.0 RC3 and earlier.

Note window dependence: The bug depends on the note window being visible; when the note window is hidden, the bug is not there. The operation of making the note window visible marks the currently opened mind map as modified even when only mind map is opened. 0.9.0 RC4, 0.9.0 RC6, Windows Vista.

On a Mac OSX 10.6 platform (Snow Leopard) running FreeMind 0.9.0 RC 4, I have the very same problem. I haven't tried it with the newer RC's because there aren't .DMGs released for those RCs yet.

Interesting that this bug is cross-platform.

Fixed in 0.9.0 RC7, by my tests. --Dan
