Zugg Software :: View topic - [1.22] Closing sessions via the file menu.

Posted: Tue Dec 12, 2006 9:21 pm

Fresh install. Open CMUD. Press Esc. Go File -> Close session.
Works with any session, it's just easiest to demonstrate with the untitled one.

The untitled window disappears entirely for me, leaving a big grey space where previously the black background and stuff were. If you open another session, the window for that session then doesn't appear, the screen just stays grey.

Yes. I just submitted this as an automated exception report. The worst part was not being able to open a new session and see the output window, though the crashing when trying to close all sessions wasn't pretty, either.

I've been having the same problem.. None of my new session windows open anymore when I open a session. It's quite annoying! (the really old sessions still open correctly though..)

It appears though that the new window does exist, and that you can still get at them if you click on Window on the menu, and select the window from [the bottom of ]the drop down list. clicking on Next Window won't make it appear.

On another note, can we have some sort of Reset Layout button, like the one in zmud?

Damn, I wish I knew how stuff like this breaks. I tested the Close Session stuff for hours last week and it worked fine. Don't know why it's suddenly so screwed up.

OK, actually, I mispoke. This is working (mostly) properly.

When you open CMUD, it creates a default blank session for you (Untitled) so that you have somewhere to play if you just close the session window without selecting a session. This default session window is marked as "replaceable" so that if you DO select a session, the session you select replaced the Untitled session.

When you close the session window and then select File/Close Session, you are closing this default Untitled session. So of course the screen is blank/gray. You just closed the session, so what did you expect to happen?

Now, the bug is that loading a new session doesn't properly load it's layout, and that's why the screen remains gray and you have to locate your loaded session via the Windows menu, but this is fixed for 1.23.

But closing the last remaining session on the screen is always going to leave you with a blank/gray screen.

The reason I mentioned that first is because it didn't work that way in previous versions. When the settings diaglog opened again, the untitled window magically reappeared. Fair enough if the actual bug is fixed, though ^_^

I still managed to get the gray windowless area in 1.23 and had to go to the Window menu to make the session window visible.

Here's what I did (fresh install):

1. Opened CMUD.
2. Opened Lusternia offline.
3. Created package "Palisade Gear Tracking" (not downloading my library copy).
4. Imported my gear tracking script by executing it on the command line. Looked good and worked well.
5. File -> Close all. Okay, it's supposed to be gray, so that's fine.
6. Open Lusternia offline again, and screen is still gray. Had to use Window -> Lusternia to get it back.

(Steps 3 and 4 are optional. I just tested it without going through the package editing, and using the Imperian session offline instead.)

Is it just me?

This was confirmed and is already fixed for 1.24.
