Hi
Switching between a tabs on main window does not refresh Properties tab on Properties tool window.
(Selection on Model explorer tool window work properly)
It is not so clear, when I switch to other tab to set e.g. DefaultDiagram option - in fact, I change option for previous tab.
I must click on surface to generate refresh event.
Hello,
The existing logic kept Properties Inspector in sync with the selected item on a diagram. If no element was selected on the current diagram the previous selection was preserved. I realize it can be misleading so I added "auto click" on the current diagram if no element is selected. Hence every tab switch should now imply some change in the Properties Inspector. It can be tried in the latest build 5.8.3.1.
Such a modification led to some annoying crashes and I cleared all contexts I found. As a side effect closing projects with multiple tabs open should be faster now (without restoring full diagram editors just before closing them). Still some problems may persist somewhere so any feedback is welcome.
Probably you also noticed that you must click the Properties Inspector twice if you need to set a checkbox like DefaultDiagram. It is fixed in 5.8.3.2.
Thanks!
This is exactly what I expected!
And yes, double click on property was very uncomfortable. So thanks for corrections.
Hi Janusz
There is a small problem. Probably associated with the last change.
Does not work object selection on last copied object after selecting several elements and copied to another location.
Steps to reproduce:
Hello,
It's 5.8.4 I suppose? Please try 5.8.4.2 and see if there are still problems of that kind. If not I will post a fixed full distribution later today.
My mistake - I have 5.8.3.2 installed.
Now, with 5.8.4.2, all is OK
Great, I will be posting 5.8.5 soon and hopefully this time nothing gets broken.
