Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Found this odd behavior today. When a menu or sub menu is very full, I can't select the last shown plugin. Clicking on it does nothing. In the screenshot - I can't run Lightning. I know I'm not a typical user - with many more plugins installed than I need. I'm currently doing some compatibility checks on all the plugins. That's why I have plenty of them installed. This behavior is not limited to one menu. I've had it repro on different menus (Adjustments, Effects, Effect > Tools and Effect > Render) at different times. A slightly smaller monitor changes how much is visible in the menu, but the last item is still not able to be selected. Seems to be limited to plugins, and not the built in effects. Scrolling the menu down changes which item is not selectable.

Rick Brewster Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 How does 3.5 work in this case? My guess is that this is just a limitation of WinForms and there will not be a fix.

Red ochre Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I'm using 3.5.11 and have no problems using a plugin at the bottom of a list - or using the arrow to move to others lower down. I probably have far too many plugins installed too - mostly versions of ones I'm working on - so my menus are also over full! Hope that helps. Quote Red ochre Plugin pack..............

midora Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I would expect that the ToolStrip renderer has been changed to allow the puzzle symbol for external plugins. Plus the code to show the copyright info in the tooltip. Maybe there is a small issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

midora Posted January 30, 2014 Share Posted January 30, 2014 One additional information may be whether these items show the highlighted background on hovering or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ego Eram Reputo Posted January 31, 2014 Author Share Posted January 31, 2014 I can't get this behaviour to repeat following a restart. Some sort of transient strangeness. If I come across it again I'll try and remember the lead up actions.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 It's back. Straight from restart and rebooting doesn't resolve it. The highlighting of the entry does work, but intermittently. It alternates with the plugin tooltip. A disconcerting pulsating effect If I hit the entry at just the right time it will fire up the plugin.

Ego Eram Reputo Posted February 1, 2014 Author Share Posted February 1, 2014 You get it on other menu items or just the last one showing at the edge of the screen (like I do)?

pyrochild Posted February 1, 2014 Share Posted February 1, 2014 The tooltip pops up under the cursor, so the cursor is no longer over the menu item, which makes the tooltip go away, which puts the cursor back on the menu item, which makes the tooltip appear under the cursor, so the cursor is no longer over the menu item, which makes the tooltip go away, which puts the cursor back on the menu item, which makes the tooltip appear under the cursor, so the cursor is no longer over the menu item, which makes the tooltip go away, which puts the cursor back on the menu item, which makes the tooltip appear under the cursor, so the cursor is no longer over the menu item, which makes the tooltip go away, which puts the cursor back on the menu item, which makes the tooltip appear under the cursor, so the cursor is no longer over the menu item, which makes the tooltip go away, which puts the cursor back on the menu item, which makes the tooltip appear under the cursor... 2 Quote ambigram signature by Kemaru [i write plugins and stuff] If you like a post, upvote it!
