Component name does not change sometimes #1220

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
If you change a component name in properties and click on 'screen1' then the 
component name does not change, however the properties show the changed name. 
This does not happen (works fine) when you move to another property after 
changing the name, or click on 'components' area or anywhere in the blank 
space. Only happens if you click directly in the viewer area after changing a 
component name.

To change a component name, select the component in the designer, and click the 
rename button.  Are you saying that you do this, and the component name does 
not change in the designer?

Sorry, I meant caption, not name. So say I add a button to a screen; change a 
property that is free-text say 'Text' (caption) and click in the viewer area 
within the 'Screen1'. The free-text input field shows changed value but the 
actual property for the component remains unchanged, e.g. in this case the 
button caption does not change! This does no happen if I click anywhere else, 
say components area, or select another property, or click in the empty space in 
viewer area, or elsewhere in the browser window.

What browser are you using?   I don't see this problem happening for me.

In any case, you should also be able to force the text change by pressing 
return when you are done typing in the box.

I'm using Chrome 9.0.597.86 beta, scripting enabled but Ad-Blocker installed.

I can circumvent the issue, it is not a serious bug. I'm just used to doing it 
this way with my experience with Delphi.

To reproduce the issue click directly inside the WYSIWYG screen area after 
changing the property value; don't press enter or tab or exit out of the field 
in any other way.

I type in the box for a button text property, then, without typing tab or 
return,  I move the mouse to the viewer and click, and the text shown for the 
button updates in the viewer.

You're saying that this does not happen for you, correct?   What OK are you 
using?
