"layouts" menu doesn't keep opened

Romulo de Amorim Correa

hi brothers,

I am having a problem with menus that does not kee oponde when I click on them. One exemple is the layout menu.

I click on it, it flashs and close. I have to mouse over other menus and then go to layout menu.

It happens all the time with others menus in other parts os the software. I am using logos for mac beta 9

My english is not so good, so I made a vídeo and you can see for yourself. Please follow the link below.

Strange. That looks like a bug to me. I am running the Windows version so I can't reproduce it. It is normal that the menus would close when you move your mouse around to other menus, but if you simply click on it and leave your mouse pointer over the Layout menu header, as you've done in your video, it should stay open, but it's not. The Logos developers might have something to say about this.

I see the same problem with the Layout Menu. Hopefully, the Mac Dev Team will read this thread and take steps to correct this situation.

Brothers,

Here there is another vídeo with an example of the dificulty to use the "settings" in the parts of passage guide. Same problem.

Jack, Rom,

Do you have any special mouse settings turned on? That's the first we've seen of this behavior, although other people have reported similar issues with the popups in search, no one on the dev team has been able to reproduce the issue.

Do you have the same problem with the file menu? Does happen with the resource selectors or text field selectors in search?

I haven't had this problem with the current Beta but when I did it was intermittent and often went away if you persevered with clicking on the menu option.

When it did happen there was always disc activity and I 'thought / wondered' if it might have something to do with Time Machine or iDisc syncing. It has happened when Logos was syncing but not always.

All the above might be a complete red herring.

I opened L4 Mac this morning, and all menus worked properly. The application also exited without incident. See B-10 freezes on Quit . If the problem happens again, I will attempt to gain additional information.

Jack,

Did you have any other programs running at the time that the menus didn't work? I wonder if there was any application that runs as "always on top" or something that was stealing focus away from L4. The menus are set to go away in several circumstances so that they don't end up hanging around, I just wonder if something in the system is causing the app to dismiss the windows prematurely in some cases. If it's an application running that the devs don't run, that might explain why we haven't seen it.

It would have been pretty much the same under both situations: 1) Parallels 5 with XP & L4 Win B-10, 2) Safari, 3) Epson Printer, and 4) Drag Thing. I may have been using Accordance or MS Word 2008, but I don't think so.

If another application is causing interference, I would suspect Parallels. It seems rather intrusive at times. I can abandon that app when you add printing and notes linking to resources in L4 Mac.

Hi Tom,

I tested the file menu as you pointed above and it is ok. The others menus like "settings" in colletions works fine sometimes. It is not stable. But the problem remains with the "layouts" menu, no matter what I do.

I am using the apple bluetooth mouse (the magic mouse). I can't say if there is anything special about the mouse settings.

thanks anyway.

Jack,

I am not using Parallels since the first beta, so in my case the problem is not with Parallels.

I singled out Parallels because it can sometimes be obnoxious. It is the only application I use that can bring the whole system down, but that has only happened a couple of times.

Hi brothers,

I find out WHEN part of the problem happens. I use a MacBook pro 13'' and I often connect it with a 21'' Samsung Monitor to have more space.

Well, the problem with menus, that flashes and close, ONLY happens when the windows or the panel is been seen on the Samsung Monitor. If I float the panel and see it on the notebook display it works ok.

The problem still remains with the "layouts" menu. Now, with the gold edition, it is a little different. I can keep it opened if I keep the mouse button pressed. But when using the mouse over the problem appears again.

Does anyone knows why that using a different display this problem occurs?

Thanks,

romulo

Curious - has display arrangement changed ? (e.g. 21" now to left of MacBook Pro when had previously been on right)

Keep Smiling [:)]
