anyone have weird saving issues in Config Tool - v9 ?

Jaymer

I have ALWAYS run across times where I edit a screen (form) and the SAVE button is dimmed - hence a Ctrl-S doesn't work.
I'm seeing this now regularly - probably 50% of the time I'm editing forms.
I just cannot save a form because Eclipse thinks nothing is changed.

The ONLY way I can save is to Alt-Q (put into test) which will prompt to save the form.
Then immed. take it out of test to continue work.

In bld 3249, I can open a form section make 1 change and it seems to save.
I just tried 6 diff. things and all allowed the save.
Then I got off track and tweaked some other display things and it wouldn't save - but the Alt-Q worked.

ok, I just found 1 anomaly - there has to be more.
I went back to that same form and needed to drag the dotted line in a cell that had 2 fields.
2nd field was too close to the first.

I dragged it and the form knew it was dirty and needed saving - but the Ctrl-S would not save.
I went to another form cell and toggled the "show label" and then I could Save.

I have noticed some strange behaviour.....

Changes not sticking.... Entering Icon details and then they disappear. Make changes to a Form that don't stick.
It is annoying but just do not have time at the moment to spend on a reproducable demo to send to Awaresoft.

Also, Ctrl-S behaves differently to Version 8.8. Need to explicitly click the Save and Save All buttons rather than Ctrl+S twice

In bld 3249 (V9), I turned in a bug today.
I have a Form w/10 sections.
Have only noticed this on one section - Main.
I have a field I tried to remove (I click the cell and change to Empty), and it removes it.
The "" appears in the Tab, so Eclipse knows its "dirty" and needs to be saved.
(Even if I Alt-Q, it will ask to save changes for that item)
BUT it will never save.
It will go into test leaving the "" on the tab (of course, its done this for years when you have 3-4+ tabs that all need saving - I think he's not waiting for the event correctly and moving it to Test before all tabs got saved. But I digress)
Shows no errors anywhere.
It just will not save if I remove the field... but if I make other changes to the field and leave it on the form, it operates as expected and Saves.
Sent Vlad the BSV so he can debug it.

Have never done a Ctrl+S twice.

Well done, been pulling my hair out on this one for a while and blaming the Eclipse dog
