Properties window not refreshing

Post by Pawel »

Today i was playing with RUBE and i suddenly my properties window stopped to refresh. Every time when i select a fixture or body properties window is empty. I have to double press F7 to edit properties ;/

That was on 1.5.1, updated to 1.5.2 and problem still persist. I think this happened after i edited collision settings.

ps. Collision settings button is still visible

It seems that my rube.ini has been corrupted. After deleting it ( i have a copy ) everything is back to normal.

Hi Pawel

Thanks for sending me the .ini file. Interestingly the first time I tried this with your .ini file I could reproduce the problem like you say. But after that I cannot get it to happen again so I don't know how I can go about fixing this issue.

Anyway, the first time when the problem was reproduced, I found a workaround that might help. When you click the collision settings button to show the collision filter bits sub-panel, you may have noticed that you can drag the splitter between the sub-panels to resize them. I think maybe you resized one of the panels to be fully hidden and gave the other one 100% of the panel size. In this state, the panel splitter is no longer visible, but you can still grab it and resize the sub-panels again. With the .ini you sent me, I found that I could grab the splitter from the bottom edge of the panel and resize it upwards. Then click the collision settings button a couple of times to reset the sub-panel contents correctly. Sorry for the bother!
