Dropdown selection boxes can be used only once #3799

Open lamontpeterson opened 4 years ago

Short Summary

Dropdown selection boxes can be used only once.

After that one use of any given dropdown, it will not open, arrow keys do nothing and further selections are not possible (until restarting, reopening the app, modal dialog, file, whatever the dropdown is part of).

I have found that the little gear icon menu of the Projects window in the left side will reopen and can be used more than once, but not. the "Directory-related functions" one, or any others. The Projects one has no tooltip, is he only UI thing that looks different any way.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Install the most current version on Mac.
  2. Launch for the first time.
  3. Click to select a color scheme.
  4. After clicking on a choice to see the preview of it, try step 3 again.

It won't open the drop down.

This happens with every drop down of every kind I've tried in every part of the UI.

  1. Select the language of an open file. Try to change it, you can't. Close the file, reopen it, you can open that drop down again.
  2. Same with character set encoding.
  3. Same with any dropdown in the Settings dialog. Close it, open Settings again, and you get one drop down before they won't respond again.

Expected results

Basic UI should work, every time.

Actual results

Dropdown select boxes only open once per session (closing the file and reopening, closing the modal dialog box and reopening, closing the whole app and reopening; these all will get you just one use of any given dropdown selection box).

@ChopperCharles doesn't look like you install the thing you thought you installed. Lastest build is from Dec 11 and build number is 18447. Use the link above to get the latest Edit 11.1.x build.

Well, the very first result from Google (https://www.activestate.com/products/komodo-ide/downloads/edit/), and the only version available and advertised for download on the ActiveState website is what I installed.

The only way to get a newer version apparently is to find this thread. That's probably not the best solution.

FYI, I'm a former Windows guy, just looking for something comparable to Notepad++ for the Mac. Komodo was one of the top results, so I followed links to download it. The publicly downloadable version is broken, and that should probably be remedied.

@ChopperCharles keep your eyes peeled for a new version of Komodo released soon.
