Rogue (zombie) cord #63

Open paulspignon opened 4 years ago

paulspignon commented 4 years ago

Put two number boxes, # 1, # 2 and a multiplier Connect # 1 to input 0 of the multiplier Connect # 2 to input 1 of the multiplier. Thereupon a third cord appears at the output of # 2, and cannot be removed. It follows the cursor everywhere, even in the menu bar. image

It can only be removed by saving, closing and reopening the file. I have reproduced this behaviour a number of times, always the same. [Note also that Ctrl+W does not close the file, it asks whether to save changes, but then does not close the file. Ctrl+W has to be done a second time.] I am running pd-l2ork version 20200802. uname -a Linux velikiHP 5.6.0-0.bpo.2-amd64 #1 (closed) SMP Debian 5.6.14-2~bpo10+1 (2020-06-09) x86_64 GNU/Linux KDE desktop ................. Now updated to Pd-l2ork version 20200821. Rogue, aka zombie cord phenomenon seems to have been suppressed (out of interest, how and by whom?). For the record, in 20200802 I found that Alt+Shift killed the zombie. No. retracting that, it still happens sometimes, the Alt+Shift trick works; rather baffling though. Paul Pignon

Thank you for the report. Are you by any chance holding shift button or having caps lock enabled? Shift will allow for creation of multiple connections from the same initiated origin and requires only a click to create subsequent connections for as long as you hold shift pressed. Sometimes shift gets stuck and requires an additional press due to TCL/Tk and TkPath quirks.

Best,

Ico

Ništa tako, not holding any key down, just mouse operations. /Paul
