Eagle 7.3 Text edit insertion point visibility bug screen cap video

gwideman
gwideman over 10 years ago

This post follows up on previous post Eagle 7.3 schematic: cursor missing in text boxes?, with some actual screen cap evidence :-)

 

Description:

 

Throughout Eagle 7.3, upon initially clicking into a text edit box, the insertion point cursor is invisible until I start typing, or use the arrow keys to move the insertion point. Often that's very annoying because you get no feedback as to whether you've positioned the insertion point at the correct position in the existing text. At the very least, you can't tell that the text edit box has focus.

 

System: Windows 7-64, up-to-date.

 

Problem did not occur in 6.5.

 

Attached screen cap video shows 6.5 and 7.3, running side-by-side demonstrating the problem only in 7.3..

 

It's speculation for sure, but it's as though 7.3 (or at least 7.x) uses a more recent version of QT which has somehow changed the initial visibility of the insertion point and requires a slightly different calling procedure.

    Hi Graham,

     

    I hope you're doing well. I came to check out the video, it's odd but I can't reproduce what you're seeing. Both 7.3.0 and 7.3.2 work as expected. Do you have any other machines you could test this on to see if perhaps it's an isolated incident?

     

    Thanks for the video, I wish all bug reports came with a video.

     

    Best Regards,

    Jorge Garcia

    Hi Jorge thanks for replying.

     

    I'm curious whether you are trying it on Windows 7-64, or some other OS or version?

     

    I can try it on another Win7-64 machine and see what that reveals -- might take a couple of days though.

     

    Am I right that Eagle uses QT? And if so, I would like to know what QT version was used in Eagle 6.5 and 7.3, as that might lead google to some related comments.

     

    Thanks!
