Dragon 16 bug affecting grammar rule deactivations and contexts #385

Closed drmfinlay closed 7 months ago

drmfinlay commented 8 months ago

There is a bug with Dragon 16 where deactivating one rule of a grammar can deactivate all the rules of that grammar. The relevant NatLink issue is dictation-toolbox/natlink#179. Unfortunately, I don't have Dragon 16 and so cannot test if Dragonfly is affected. I suspect it is, but it hasn't been noticed yet.

Dragonfly users typically use grammar-wide contexts, meaning that grammar rules are typically either all activated or all deactivated depending on the context. So most users won't notice this issue. Users who utilise rule-specific contexts will probably be affected, however. It should be possible to add in a workaround in the next version, although this really should be fixed by Nuance.

One way to test if this issue is present is by trying to use Dragonfly's _fruit_toggle.py example command module with lines 38 and 39, and lines 46 and 47, swapped.

This issue apparently affects Dragon 15, too, but I haven't experienced it.

Dane, this issue was NOT seen before in Dragon 15. Let us hope it does not show up again in other circumstances!! I think this can be closed for now...

Hi Quintijn,

I agree with you, I haven't seen it in Dragon 15 either. I was only relaying what Mark Lillibridge said on Gitter about this here.

I'm fine with closing the issue for the moment. I'll reopen it if I get a report from a user.
