[Solved] Possible to Disable Auto Switching to Tasks Tab?

Post by rebeltaz »

Is it possible to keep FreeCAD from automatically switching to the [Tasks] tab when switching workbenches?

Here it stays on the Model tab (if this one is active) when switching between workbenches...
What is your version ? Could you try to reset your custom settings ?

I reset my custom settings :( and that didn't help. The version is 0.18.1 under Ubuntu 18.04 LTS

Perhaps the reason for this behaviour is similar to what I have seen on two different Mac systems: Some events seem to double fire. DeepSOIC has worked on this, so you may try a current 0.19 version.
If the issue persists, try different Mouse Models. Please report back with your full FreeCAD infos included.

So it remains to reproduce this in a current 0.19 version.

I did try another mouse mode last night. I just didn't want to reply back with that until after I tried the .19 pre-release. WIth a different mouse mode, I still have the same issue.

I may want to clarify something. The "switching to the tasks tab" seems to be only when I switch to the "Parts Design" workbench. I haven't tried all of the work benches but I will do that this weekend.
