No display refresh after macro execution

Bego · Oct 13, 2009#12009-10-13T07:23+00:00

I also found a display issue in 15.20.0.1016 (on Win 7 pro 64 bit) that is strange, but does not fit to other reported bugs yet.
If I let run a simple macro that also deletes lines, these lines do not disappear after macro has finished.
Sometimes they go away after setting the document active by mouse click or key pressed (e.g. escape).
Sometimes they stay toughly and you need to reload the file or restart UE.
I post it here and wait for a "yes, same problem on my PC" confirmation then I will post to IDM.

Example:
Open UE with a new file
Create 3 lines by 1 <Enter> 2 <Enter> 3 <Enter>
Let run this macro I call "toList" (I know it is not optimal)

Code: Select all

InsertMode
ColumnModeOff
HexOff
SelectAll
StartSelect
Find "^p"
Replace All ", "
EndSelect
Key HOME
Key END
")"
Key HOME
"("
Key HOME
StartSelect
Key END
EndSelect

There should be ONE line like (1, 2, 3, )

but we see:

(1, 2, 3, )
2
3

Thank you, Bego

P.S. Wanted to download Hotfix 1017, but received Chinese version

(who finds the Cancel button???), then English version ... but I need German one.

http://www.ultraedit.com/files/hotfix/ue_german.zip contains the Chinese version? If this is the case, please report it. Or have you tried the update from within German UltraEdit and it downloaded the Chinese version? Then this would be also a bug which should be reported.

However, I tested what you have written and could reproduce it with UE v15.20.0.1016 on Windows XP SP3 32-bit using Windows Classic theme. (Build 1017 is downloading while I'm writing this.) But it happens only when executing the macro from dialog Play Macro after clicking on Macro - Play Any/Multiple Times. When running the macro with Play Again (from menu or by hotkey) or by double clicking on it in the macro list view, the display is correct after macro execution.

Servus Mofi,

I made the update via menu. Funny, see attachment.
So I will report both issues to IDM and report later here.

Thank you, Bego

[Edit: Reported to IDM. Also: Error still in .1017]

I had something "similar" with 15.20.0.1016 (w xp, sp3). When opening a new file from Total Commander (F4) it would make the file active in UE, however the function list displayed the functions from the previous active document. I've been using 1017 since yesterday and this problem hasn't shown up.

I've tried your example in 1017 and can not reproduce your bug =) (tried playing it various ways and always get the expected result).

I can reproduce this display issue also with English UE v15.20.0.1017 on my computer. Important is that it only occurs when the macro property Show Cancel dialog for this macro is NOT enabled and the macro is executed from the Play Macro dialog. Simply pressing any cursor key without holding SHIFT results in discarding the selection which results in a display update and then the display is correct.

Guys, this display issue is now fixed with UltraEdit version 15.20.0.1022.
