Channels dont switch in Newspaper and Headlines mode. #16

Open juhacz opened 6 years ago

juhacz commented 6 years ago

Thank you that you are still developing RSSOwl, I have been using it for years, and I will be happy to test every new version.

The program has a long-standing bug, which occurs in the "Newspaper" and "Headlines" mode. In the program I use many channels (40-50), which I have organized in folders and subfolders. When clicking on a given channel, the program does not always (switch channels) show the articles from that channel, the articles are still displayed from the previous channel, but nothing changes except channel's name on the window bar. This bug only occurs on "Newspaper" and "Headlines" modes in the other modes is everything ok.

This has bugged me forever... I'm stoked that @Xyrio has picked up this project and is driving it forward!

I find that if I look at a feed, or folder, switch away, and then back it will also not show any content (or the previous feeds view in the current feeds format)

I've also had the issue where an article viewed in classic, then switched away to another article, and then back results in a similar scenario.

when i figure out why ill fix it. if you wait a while does it appear then? sometimes i have witnessed that it just takes a while. in this case the ui wont let you change again until it finishes loading. you r not talking about that?

juhacz commented 6 years ago

If I wait, sometimes it will show, but very rarely. For the most part, nothing will show up.

I suspect there are four issues we're talking about here (please correct me if i'm wrong), resulting in possibly four different issues (or just related rendering issues)

  1. Navigating away from one feed/folder, to another which has been previously viewed in the same Tab results in either a blank tab (the feed does appear to load in the background), or the previous content will be shown in a new view (picks up the newly selected feed/folders view config).

    • Workaround is open feed/folder into new tab

  2. Navigating between articles in classic mode which have been previously viewed in the same tab results in blank content.

  3. After some time, a tab which was displaying content stops showing it (this may be a memory related issue), I find that this occurs when I have a few large feeds (with around a hundred images/items) open in tabs

  4. since 2.4 I've noticed that a large feed (over 100 items) being shown in full will result in the UI window freezing, and forcing a view state where you are unable to navigate away from the UI.

    • Workaround Ending the process from the Processes Tab in Task Manager Notes: prior to RSSOwlnix releases the UI would crash so i capped views at 100 items, so it's unclear if this is a new bug, or a new symptom for an existing bug.

This has been a great thread. I'm fascinated to see how others use RSSOwl(nix).

As long as we are talking about weird UI stuff... On Windows, with version 2.2.1 sometimes when you click on a folder of feeds, the (widescreen) view doesn't update. You can click around to different folders and no updates. Eventually it will update. I've always assumed that anything UI related was more of a java or Eclipse issue, so I've been looking forward to trying the new beta.

And for what it's worth, I couldn't get either beta release to run on my mac.

I can confirm this is still an issue in 2.7.0 - also in Widescreen mode which I use most of the time.

In Widescreen mode clicking with mouse or moving up/down with cursor keys between two articles most of the time does not update content in the right most pane (article body) while the active article is highlighted in the center pane.

Further testing - it appears that if I click on alternatively between two adjacent articles (in a feed with 20+ articles) only every third click correctly updates shown article content. Same happens if I use the arrow keys. But clicking on articles in the list one by sequentially in the same direction it works ok. Only when you go back to the previous article or "change direction" then it is not updating.

possibly same problem as #71 #50
