Highlight box of widgets moving

Post by Guy » Fri Sep 19, 2014 4:55 am

Hi
I am having trouble when highlighting widgets in Page designer.
This is an 'intermittent' bug.
When clicked on a widget in the page view, it highlights with a the blue box, but often when either multiple boxes are selected and moved or copied the boxes disappear and scoot off to the origin or somewhere.
Hitting Esc or clicking on the screen object again, it does not highlight, so they cannot get selected. ( it is only the blue highlight box that has moved, not the text or image widget)
Going over to the pages Tab and down to through the page groups you still cannot select the widget.
Moving to another page then back does not fix it, so I have to save the program then reload it.
I am using 2.7.10419 on a Windows 7 pro, 64bit , 12 Gb Ram.
This has only occurred in 2.7 and appears to happen with any configs.
Not sure what else to say, I realize it is very difficult to repeat, but is anyone else seeing this ? :?

Hi Guy,
I have been asking the configuration developers here at Enovation Controls if they have seen this issue or anything similar. Unfortunately they haven't.

Since you have brought this to our attention, we will continue to try to reproduce the problem. We just aren't sure where to start. Somebody suggested that you might take a video of what is going on when you notice the problem, so we can see it.

Do you find that the problem starts after you have been using PowerVision Configuration Studio for just a brief time or after an all day session or half a day? Are you doing a mixture of mono chrome and color display configurations? Have you been switching between configurations? Importing configurations? Editing only one configuration?

I should be posting a patch 3 version of the 2.7 later today. You could start using this newer version and see if it works better.

Thank you for your interest in PowerVision and your help to make the tool even better!
