Maybe I am too eager but it seems the download link still gives me the 4.1.3 installer and not the 4.1.4 installer.
Is it me ?

Using the servoy_updater gave me the 4.1.4 version.

download link is corrected, thanks for reporting

After the 4.1.4 update i’ve got strange behaviour with team synchronisation

I’ve created a new method in my module (it’s so created in the bottom of gloabl.js), others developpers synchronizing must merge with my module even if they didn’t change anything in the module and the method appears for merging at the beginnig of the global.js (before variable declaration)

6

Since upgrading I have a related tabpanel that was working fine in both web and smart clients. Now web client is failing to show the panel properly. Here are screen grabs:

Did I break It?

how big is your tableview form in the designer?

jcompagner:
how big is your tableview form in the designer?

Your question sent me to look and try extending the form height (and width because I found the same problem in other related tabs with table view).

Resolved thanks Johan.

  • is it reproduceable adding a method on your side to globals, synch at the other developer site shows conflicting globals (if the developer did not change it) ? if yes, please
    create a case in our support system, with a screenshot of the synchronizer compare editor;
  • the fact that new method appears at the begining on the other side is expected behavior (the servoy team server does not keep the line position of methods),
    and should not cause any problems;

Jan Blok:
[fix] 214166 First occurrence of Leading subsummary cutoff when printing

Seems like leading subsummary is even more broken… prints that behaved fine in 4.1.3 don’t show the subsummary at all in 4.1.4!

We also seem to have an issue with valuelists in 4.1.4 > we use custom value valuelists (set on startup).
The return value is set correctly, but ends up being ‘null’ when clicking outside the field. (Application setting is autosave).

I haven’t got the time to investigate more, but maybe there’s other developers suffering the same problem?

11

I rechecked the solution used to test 214166.
It works (leading subsummary is shown).

I would like to see the forms that no longer work.

12

It seems that tabsequence have strange behaviour in webclient (just open sample solution and edit a company), you ll jump to the ie or firefox adressbar
Do anybody else has strange behaviour ?

13

I see that my case ‘226113 DBTreeview background colors different in webclient en smartclient’ was fixed, but unfortunately in the wrong way.

The webclient was good in my opinion and the smart client needed to be fixed, but the fix has been done the other way (webclient was changed).

Can you reverse that?

please check the “opaque” property of the dbtreeview, the case was about the webclient ignoring it

You are right Gabi, Thanks

After investigating, it seems that it could be a problem with the tabsequence number of tab panel.
If two tabpanels are removed from tab sequence, the controls have duplicated tabindex in html so the tabsequence will be tab1-control1 => tab2 control1 => tab1control2 => tab2 control2 etc

When we put new tabpanel in a form when i look at tabsequence of the form it look likes tabsequence is ok but the tabSeq propertie will be at 0 and something it produce unpredictable behaviour.

Did you changed something between 413 and 414 ?

17

Do you know what setting I can change to modify the following behavior?
Every time I save any simple change on a form designer it takes from 15 to 30 seconds to save the change
It shows this message during that time “Building workspace: (49%)”

Note: on 4.1.3 I don’t see that slow behavior

Thanks.

18

The issue I am experiencing when saving any change goes away when I do “Remove share” on the solution.
It is happening only with shared solutions
Is there anything I can change to make it work as fast as 4.1.3?
Thanks,
Javier

if it is slow go to the admin pages and make a thread dump so that we can see where it is so busy with.

Quote “erdione”: “It seems that tabsequence have strange behaviour in webclient (just open sample solution and edit a company), you ll jump to the ie or firefox adressbar

This problem in corrected in the next version of Servoy (you are right, it was introduced with a case on 4.1.4).
