Hi Pasha,

I just tracked down another problem with YoWindow 3.

I noticed that the town of Nelsonville, Ohio was having a thunderstorm and it was 43F. I added that location to YoWindow 3. Since I enjoy the animated lightning bolts, I left that location on and let it go thru Screen Saver. The Screen Saver showed Mansfield, Ohio which was mist and 37F.

The Screen Saver timed out and went to a completely black screen. At that time, I moved the mouse (or tapped the track pad) and Mansfield, Ohio displayed as the location name. But the weather conditions of Nelsonville, Ohio were being displayed. So Mansfield, Ohio was now having a thunderstorm and it was 43F. The only way that I could get the correct weather was to ctrl Q and then come back into YoWindow 3. Once I did that, Mansfield, Ohio was mist and 37F again.

I tried this out on YoWindow 2 and there was no mixup of locations and weather.

Hopefully, this is not a difficult fix.

Thank you, Marty, I will take care about your reports hopefully soon.

Hi Pasha,

Here is an easy way to recreate the above error condition.

Add a warm location like Melbourne, Australia to your YoWindow 3.
Look at Melbourne, Australia.
While you are viewing Melbourne, click on Program > Set YoWindow as ScreenSaver > and then click on Preview.
You will get your Home Location as it should be (cold temperature and all).
Now press the ESC key and click on the red X to exit Screen Saver Settings.
You will now be at your Home Location with Melbourne's weather.

The only way to get your weather back is to do a ctrl Q. When you come back into YoWindow 3, you will have your weather again.

Marty

Fixed!
