Cannot select anything in front view

Post by babaroga »

Hello,

Since commits from 6th April, I cannot make any dimension on Front view in drawing.
Problem is that I am unable to select any line, point or circle on Front view. When I hover over line, point or circle it turns green but it does not stay selected. However, it is possible to make baloon.

On all other views (left, right, top, axonometric...), details and sections it works as expected.

Front view have red lock icon on it and I cnnot unlock it couse this property is grayed out.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Create new page in TechDraw
2. Select some eg. Body
3. Press "Insert multiple lin ked views..."
4. Choose eg. top and right view
5. Try to make any dimension in front view or creat e a hatch

Did anyone else faced same behaviour?

Code: Select all

OS: Manjaro Linux (KDE//usr/share/xsessions/plasma)
Word size of OS: 64-bit

Confirmed on:

The trouble looks older than the April 6 commits.

Front view is supposed to stay locked to the ProjGroup. Otherwise the view layout gets messed up. Not related to the selection issue.

As far as I can remember, when baloons was introduced, there was no selection issues.

Compiled the master branch before balloons were added, selection works fine. Compiled the master branch after balloons, selection doesn't work in Front view. Looks like Balloon is stealing mouse events meant for Front.

Looks like it's comming from this git commit 2551c1741900c03e55192f519d8e7b6f90867dfc

I hope @wandererfan can help here to get this fixed as fast as possible.

Thanks Franck, I'll give it a try. ProjectionGroup always throws sand into the gearbox.

Thanks, Franck. I've implemented your solution as it fixes the immediate problem. git commit e13747c3c6

There's something still not quite right, or maybe my mouse pad is getting ready to fail. Have to keep an eye on this.

Ok great. But I agree, it might not be the best fix.
I'll work on fixing balloon with regard to what you pointed out in your private message.
