YoWindow Forum

Please apologize for coming up with an old bug again

In a topic for RC 406 i wrote about displaying the options for Yoindow itself and the options for a landscape.

• If you start YoWindow, press Ctrl-O, close the YoWindow-Options-window, press Ctrl-Alt-O for landscapes-options then the options for YoWindow are displayed instead.
• If you start YoWindow, press Ctrl-Alt-O, close the landscape-Options-window, press Ctrl-O for YoWindow-options then the options for the landscape are displayed instead.

You have to quit and restart YoWindow to get the "other" options-window.

Win XP SP3.

Hey, Reinhart!

I was not able to repeat neither the first not the second case on 488.
It may have a connection with a specific landscape.
Are you able to repeat the error easily?

I don't think the problem has popped up due to changes in the recent builds.
I think it was always been there.
And as far as I remember it is very hard to solve.

The error is a result of unexpected behavior of Action Script 2.0 library code.

YoWindow 3.0 is being programmed in Action Script 3.0, so the problem will go away.

I don't think it is major and I consider left it unsolved until 3.0.
I'm afraid it will take a lot of time to fix.

Thank you for taking care.
I wish I could solve all the problems

Yes, i can repeat it easily - but this bug only appears with custom landscapes (with the default landscapes there's no bug with displaying the options).

That's of course ok - it doesn't happen really often that i display the landscape-options-dialog

Me, and i think we all, wish that too

Thanks! At least now I know how to repeat it.
