Specializations Manager issue with sorting new specializations #945

Closed CzechM8 closed 11 months ago

CzechM8 commented 1 year ago

Version of Archi

5.1.0 (but bug has been experienced since version 4.x)

Archi Plug-ins

CoArchi jArchi Lightbox Excel

Operating System

Mac OS 13.4.1

Expected Behaviour

When creating new specializations, after typing in the name of the specialization, the user can hit the tab key to go to the next entry field - the "restricted to element" entry, and then select the appropriate element from the dropdown. Then hit enter to save the new specialization.

Actual Behaviour

When the specializations manager is opened and the new button is clicked, the user can type in the name of the new specialization. Then the user hits the tab key to enter the appropriate element. Here the dropdown is visible on an existing specialization - not the in-progress one. This is because the specialization has already been alphabetically sorted, but the dropdown list is still at the bottom of the window. If the sorting would be delayed until after the new specialization has been saved, this would likely be fixed.

Steps to Reproduce the Behaviour

  1. Start with a fairly long list of existing specializations
  2. Open Specializations Manager
  3. Click 'New'
  4. Give the new specialization a name
  5. Hit TAB key or click to go to select the next column.
  6. Notice the new specialization has already move and the dropdown is on the wrong line.

I think this is happening because when you rename the Specialization, the sort order is refreshed as it's sorted again. I'll see if I can improve that.

Cool. Yes, it does this for a new specialization or during renaming one. Also, going straight to the save button causes the "restricted to" element to not be updated (it saves with the default Business Actor element). You have to first click away from the "restricted to" element after you've selected the one you want, and then click save. It works great if you hit enter twice - once to select from the dropdown and then the second enter key saves the specialization. It's actually a different bug/issue.

Thanks, Phil.

You have to first click away from the "restricted to" element after you've selected the one you want, and then click save.

This is a known problem with these combo boxes to make the entry "stick", or pressing enter can make it stick.

Gotcha! Thanks, Phil.

But I'll change things so that the row doesn't jump when renaming it.

CzechM8 commented 1 year ago

That would be great, as I am a big user of this feature.

Thanks, Phil!
