First test drive ...

Post by r-frank »

Hi there.

Just tried Techdraw.
Using FreeCAD 0.17.10807 on Windows 7 - 64 bit.
Using Blender Navigation Style.

> Insert new default drawing page
> clicking on the green dot near the "Designed by" brings up the Editable field to insert Creators name
> after clicking "OK" changes are applied
> no matter where i click now, the same editable field is brought up again ... Bug ?
> even right-ckling is bringing up the Editor-Editable-Field again ...

> clicking on insert new view will insert new view but also "glue" the drawing page to the cursor
> wherever i move the cursor, the page follows, no chance to detach the drawing

These things stopped me from testing further ...

Help would be appreciated.
Thanks for all efforts done up to now.

I can't duplicate any of that on:

OS: Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.10698 (Git)
Build type: debug
Branch: master
Hash: ac2f9f8902b67143ea081fedc9ffed86fc1a1bd3
Python version: 2.7.3
Qt version: 4.8.1
Coin version: 3.1.3
OCC version: 7.1.0

with "touchpad" or "blender" styles.

I don't know much about navigation styles. Do you get the same behaviour with another style?

Yes, i just tried with OpenCasCade and CAD and Inventor Style.
The field which green dot i first click gets re-activated on every left- or right-click.

OS: Windows 7
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.10807 (Git)
Build type: Release
Branch: master
Hash: b32e9806e1b075c745c0c9692e81aea1dcab81e4
Python version: 2.7.8
Qt version: 4.8.7
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.0.0

[I just noticed you have different (older) Qt and Coin versions ... Maybe that is the culprit ?]

Uh oh ...
I just verified with my Linux Mint-Installation.

OS: Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa
Word size of OS: 64-bit
Word size of FreeCAD: 64-bit
Version: 0.17.10807 (Git)
Build type: None
Branch: master
Hash: b32e9806e1b075c745c0c9692e81aea1dcab81e4
Python version: 2.7.6
Qt version: 4.8.6
Coin version: 4.0.0a
OCC version: 7.1.0

There everything works fine ...

I can confirm a problem on Win and not on Ubuntu.
What is the significance of the Page Result property?
The key to reproduce seems to be editing the editable fields when no views are on the page. After adding a view, closing and opening the drawing viewer fixes the problem.
A file like this is created at this time "A4_LandscapeTD1.svg.6bcf4dc0-378f-4c77-9cc9-f944ccaee72a" before this only a file like "A4_LandscapeTD.svg" exists in the C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Local\Temp\FreeCAD_Doc_(+ some hash) sub-directory.

Template is "PropertyFile" containing full path to original template on original machine.
PageResult is "PropertyFileIncluded" containing current state modified copy of original template.

On document restore, Template is ignored and PageResult is used instead since restore machine may not have a copy of the original template in the original location.

I don't know why that would have any effect on mouse clicks. Maybe the dialog is not getting destroyed properly on Win?

Coin shouldn't be involved, but Qt might be. I'll try on a different machine.

Xenial uses QT4 4.8.7, same as win. If there is no problem on linux then it may be a win libpack/packaging (I upgraded QT in the libpack). If someone can verify that 4.8.7 works on linux, I can test linking FreeCAD against an older QT packaged by Peterl94 on Win to rule in/out a packaging issue.
