not all text is visible when reopening a saved *.ep file #602

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open a new project.
2. Use 'Desktop Native UI Widgets' Label, Buttons and Group edit their text 
(heading for Group).
3. Save file.
4. Reopen saved *.ep file.

Expected: All saved texts, shapes should be visible as when saved.

Actual: Most saved text does not show up.
Double clicking that shape/ label/ group to edit, will show the saved text and 
then clicking elsewhere on the sheet enables the visibility of that particular 
text for the rest of the session

I have similar issue in my in Pencil installation. Description of the problem 
and the version of the software are exactly same as the issue reported by  
rajwinde. Does any one have a solution for this.

Thanks and regards,
Subbu

We have the same error, there is no button for "redraw" and it is very 
unpleasant. It would be convenient see a three of the components that are in 
the paint.

I have the same issue reported here, I am using Ubuntu and Pencil 2.0.5. What I 
have to do to make them appear is right click and toggle "disabled", it is 
easier than trying to click and edit some text for it to render again. It is 
really annoying because it happens with the radio buttons too, the text is 
simply gone and its every time I open an .ep file. This seems to be related to 
issue 548

With Pencil 2.0.3 there is no problem

Thanks for hte tip. I have the same issue with 2.0.3 using the default 
xulrunner. The fix I used for 2.0.3 (not sure it works for 2.0.5) is to point 
Pencil to a different xulrunner (something greater than xulrunner 1.9.8) , I 
chose xulrunner 2.0.0 from here: 
https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/xulrunner/releases/ then modified the 
/usr/bin/pencil script to look like this:

#!/bin/sh
#/usr/bin/firefox --app "/usr/share/pencil/application.ini"

/home/installed/xulrunner/2.0.0/xulrunner  --app 
"/usr/share/pencil/application.ini"

When the "Disable" menu is unavailable another way to make the text visible 
again is to:
1. Select All
2. Right click and open Properties
3. Select the Black color and make sure the Opacity is set to 100%.
4. Apply

Rolling back to Pencil 2.0.3 from 2.0.5, resolved this issue for me on Windows 
7.

Back to 2.0.3. I think it is a high issue not a medium.

I did what was suggested here by calin.ci...@gmail.com, it makes the text 
visible at Pencil, but it prints everything blank, I rolled back to 2.0.3, the 
text is visible as described, but it still prints blank (I don't know if file 
formats have changed from 2.0.3 to 2.0.5 so I've created a new document at 
2.0.3 added a few "Desktop - Native UI Widgets" these print blank and added 
"Flowchart" elements these print fine).

Finally I had to "Export page as PNG", and printed from there.

Same situation here. Rolling back to 2.0.3 on MacOSX Mavericks did not solve 
the problem. Same thing happens when I open the files with the Firefox plugin. 
As a workaround, I installed Pencil 2.0.3 on Win XP virtual machine and I can 
see all widgets correctly.

It's funny, because if I resize a widget it becomes visible, but when I undo 
the resize operation, again it "magically disappears". 

This indeed should have a high priority. I have some mockups with dozens of 
widgets and resizing them all separately is really impossible.

I Had the same issue too but to quick fix you may select all object by 
selecting CTRL + A then change the font for example arial. But you must change 
each page one by one.

Issue resolved by following the technique specified by  #15 
djati.sa...@gmail.com. Many Thanks to him. But its not permanent solution. Bug 
fixes are required in ver. 2.0.5

Another solution : don't use the "Label" element from "Desktop - Native UI 
Widgets".

Same problem here with 2.0.5 and native desktop widgets. Going back to 2.0.3 
did not fix the problem.

Another workaround - select all items on the page and then use "Location & 
size" to move them one pixel to the left and then one pixel to the right. After 
you unselect the items, they are redrawn and look OK.

Same problem on osx 10.10.1 - Cant downgrade to 2.0.3 cause it crashes.
It also happens when i copy and paste a group of elements from one page to 
another.

As mentioned in one of the comments above as well follow the following steps 

when you will open a .ep file in Pencil

1. Click any control within designer area (windows form, group box, text 
control)
2. Press CTRL + A (select all)
3. Right click and Go to properties
4. You will get Multiple objects properties window
5. Select check box colour above check box Advance mode is colour picker is 
disabled
6. Select black colour and set opacity 100% (slider control is there)

All the texts will be visible
(y)
