[2.1.1] Lot of issues after upgrade - help needed

[ESP4Ever]

Hi and thank you for your effort!

After I updated to the RIDE v2.1.1 I got many issues preventing me to use it without smashing the keyboard. F.e.:

• When I click on a test case it opens often w/o coloring until any cell selected
• If the window size is smaller than number of columns (horizontal scrollbar appears), as soon as any new cell is doubleclicked, the editor screen scrolls left
• Under some circumstances it is not possible to delete cells (the code reappears after saving). The only way is to switch to the text editor
• Previously it was possible to click on a cell, edit it and select another one. Now the modifications can be not applied if Enter is not pressed
• [Long-lasting issue] If add a new row and then switch to another test case and back (for copy-paste f.e.), first TC will be shown empty
• [Long-lasting issue] If I add a "newline" chars in form of "\n" or ${\n}, RIDE converts it to a real new line
• [Long-lasting issue] If code is modified but not saved and I click on "Run tests", RIDE asks to save the test suite first. If I select YES, the test run begins but without last modifications

Maybe I have some incorrect versions of dependencies installed?

Well, I assume you are using Windows, but you should have given this info, and the Python and wxPython versions. I also assume that you are only talking about the Grid/Cell editor.

Here are my comments on your list of complaints 😏 :

• When I click on a test case it opens often w/o coloring until any cell selected This is known, and very low priority, because users can still work. Moving to and from other Tests/Keywords usually fix it. This glitch may happen due to lack of memory or processor resources, or even due to the wxPython version in use.
• If the window size is smaller than number of columns (horizontal scrollbar appears), as soon as any new cell is doubleclicked, the editor screen scrolls left This was introduced since v2.1, and it is because of an important fix about expanding Settings sections. You probably did expand the Settings section of the Test Case/Keyword, I know it is annoying, but did not find a way to fix it. This is documented in the Release Notes.
• Under some circumstances it is not possible to delete cells (the code reappears after saving). The only way is to switch to the text editor I would need to have a reproducible workflow, so I can see the fault and debug it.
• Previously it was possible to click on a cell, edit it and select another one. Now the modifications can be not applied if Enter is not pressed Maybe the old behavior was not desired. I think that makes sense to confirm the editing by pressing Enter or Tab.
• [Long-lasting issue] If add a new row and then switch to another test case and back (for copy-paste f.e.), first TC will be shown empty If it was an empty row, it should be removed. Better to copy the content before, and then use Ctrl+Shift+V to insert it above the current cell.
• [Long-lasting issue] If I add a "newline" chars in form of "\n" or ${\n}, RIDE converts it to a real new line This is a feature and it is documented. You can disable by editing *settings.cfg* and setting _filter newlines = False_ in the Grid section.
• [Long-lasting issue] If code is modified but not saved and I click on "Run tests", RIDE asks to save the test suite first. If I select YES, the test run begins but without last modifications This existed in the past, but should not in current version. I'll need to retest

Thank you for your prompt response!

Sorry, I forgot to mention that I'm running RFW on a VirtualBox VM with Ubuntu 22.04 (4x cores, 8Gb RAM). \n issue is solved, also I found in the config file how to disable File Explorer
