Panels & Toolbar move on their own

Post by drmacro »

Maybe it's just me, maybe it's that I do a git pull every morning on 0.20 and build, maybe it's Ubuntu/Debian, maybe it's ProDark stylesheet.

I'd just like to know if it's me, my workflow, or an issue with the code.

But, almost every time I start FC 0.20, the Report view is turned off, the Property view is moved back to the main window (I keep it on my other monitor) and the toolbar layout of the toolbars is reset or changed. And the global toolbar seems to bebop around of it's own free will.
:roll:

And yes, I wrote a bash script to save the ~/.FreeCAD/*.cfg and the ~/.config/FreeCAD/FreeCAD.conf files so I can get back to "my way".

:ugeek:



My other PC where this happens is Debian 10, but same FC.

This PC is:

You're not alone on the Linux side, I believe it started about a week ago but I'm just waiting for the Windows LP build to be updated to see if it's platform agnostic.

Ok, so wait and see... :mrgreen:

Other things I noted (which I don't think is new):
  • when the Property panel is outside the main window it doesn't minimize with the main window
  • it can be resized, but the handles don't appear when cursor is over the edge of the panel
  • it doesn't handle display order, it doesn't go behind when another application activated
(same with any of the panels outside main window)

I compiled with the LibPack a couple of days ago, and I do not see any of those problems. I use a single monitor, however.

Any chance you have time to do a git bisect? If we can narrow it down to which commit it was, I'm guessing the problem will become obvious!

Unfortunately I can nolonger replicate the panel issue so I'm not going to be able to help track down the commit other than to say I believe it was between 20th to 24th Sept.
