Serious bug in 1.0.4 beta, which didn't exist in 1.0.3: frequency of TX2 goes out of sync #588

Closed HA1AH closed 10 months ago

Dear Expert Electronics,

I already reported this bug to Roman about a month ago, but unfortunately it hasn't been fixed. It definitely didn't exist n previous versions, including 1.0.3.

So the bug in the 1.0.4 beta version: I use TX1 for CQing. Additionally I use TX2 for clicking on dx cluster spots shown its spectrum view to call back stations. While I'm CQing on TX1 I sometimes drag or resize the view of TX2 with the mouse and scroll it to go to other segments of the band .

And here is the problem: the shown frequency and the band scope get out of synchrony, i.e. the stations are shown on totally invalid frequencies. I made a demonstrating video which is available here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/ZKgtbmPRSZoTtQLR8

!!!!!!!! Additionally, the TX and RX frequencies of TX2 will be different.

It makes the software sometimes unusable in contests.

So, please fix it.

Fixed

Hm. Interesting bug fix. Now moving the TX2 screen with mouse drag and move is disabled during TX1 is transmitting. So, user really can't cause any asynchrony.

BUT I THINK THAT IS NOT THE SOLUTION THAT WE DISABLE A FUNCTIONALITY WHICH WORKED IN VERSION 1.0.3 BACK CORRECTLY!!!!!

I think, the correct solution would be, like it was still in 1.0.3, that user can modify TX2 display and it doesn't cause any problem in its frequency handling! Could you have a look at what was done between 1.0.3 and 1.0.4, which caused this bug? And would it be possible correcting really that bug instead of disabling a feature?
