libraries or were there just minor polishing changes.

 

I've noticed no issues with the newer version and it runs great. Just

curious about this line in the release notes.

On OpenSuse 13.1 32-bit, I can no longer toggle between board and

schematic (the icon and the menu entry are just ignored).

Hello Robert,

Considering EAGLE is natively developed under OpenSuSE this is

worrisome. Do you have multiple instances of EAGLE open at the same

time, make sure you are only running one at a time.

Is there any procedure or screenshot you could provide to help narrow

this down. If anything send me an e-mail to support@cadsoftusa.com.

I don't know if it's relevant, but I've seen this behaviour on older

versions (back to v4.16) on Gentoo, with some window managers but not

others. The impression I got was that the toggle icon would attempt to

bring the other editor into focus but fail, possibly because the WM

ignored it. However, that was just a gut feeling, not anything I could

point to evidence for.

Hi Jorge,

no, I don't have multiple Eagle sessions open, but I do have more

information.

New files (or those where the .epf has been updated to 7.3.0 open OK.

Old version files exhibit the problem, but I saw that the non-appearing

file (board or schematic, depending on which was opened first) was

actually open but minimised.

So it looks like a window manager thing, somewhat as Rob Pearce suggested.

Cheers,

Robert.
