10.4.1 -- Editor tree control jumps around (fix in 10.6.0)

Post by jkowtko » Thu May 14, 2009 6:30 am

Hi Mike,

In the Editor, when I add a cue in the middle of the cue list, the list control "snaps" the positioning of the list so that the newly added cue is showing at the bottom of the viewing pane, thus scrolling the entire list down in the viewing pane. This is pretty disorienting. Can you fix this so that the list above the newly entered cue does not move, and below the cue everyting simply shifts down one?

Also, during this iterative process (I added Notes cues in between each of 25 audio cues, combined with moving audio cues around in the list to get them in right order) the list eventually got messed up and "lost" some of the cues. I had to close and restart SCS in order to view them again. It looks like no data was lost, but the UI got a bit scrambled.

Thanks. John

I'll need to run some tests on this, John. The first issue is probably due to the treeview being rebuilt each time, but the second issue will need more investigation.

Bump this one please Mike, issue 1 is really annoying when editing a show with a large number of cues

Only partially fixed Mike, :(
V10.5.1 build 16/07/09

In editor, highlight a cue in the middle of the cue list,
click on copy then paste to put a copy of the cue immediately below the highlighted cue
It works OK but the cue list snaps to the bottom.
Repeatable so can do a trace if required.

It snaps to bottom if you do any paste of a cue

You should find this works better in 10.6.0. The problem all along was that various operations cause SCS to rebuild the tree, and after rebuilding the tree the only alignment criteria was that the current node be visible. The change made in 10.5.1 was to prevent some operations rebuilding the tree. The change now made in 10.6.0 notes which nodes are at the top and bottom of the visible range (if the tree has to be rebuilt) and attempts to redisplay the same visible range after rebuilding the tree.
