Thanks guys, great work!

How can we see, what the impact is of ticket: SVY-1958 ?

It is not public.

We normally do not give any info about security issues, since these are minor we did to some extend.
Best way forward is still to upgrade to this version.

I just upgraded from version 6.0.6 to 6.0.7 and noticed some different behavior when rolling over labels/buttons. I have a button that is made up of 3 separate labels. The first label is the background for the button and has a roll over image defined in the properties of the label. The second label contains an icon which sits on top of the background label and the third label contains the text for the button and is also on top of the background label. When I rollover the background label the arrangement of the layers changes and the background label moves to the front hiding the icon and text labels. In the previous version the arrangement of the labels remained the same whenever you rolled over them or clicked on them. Is there a place where I can check the arrangement ordering of the elements on my form?

Hmm. This might be related to SVY-2380’s fix. We will have a look.

what java version do you use?
It seems that java 7 and our performance fix/improvement for SVY-2380 is generating this behavior
If i run in java 6 then it works fine.

I was using java 7 and have tested it with java 6 update 31 and update 33 but I still have the same problem. I am testing from the developer on a Windows 7 64-bit machine.

yes you are right, i was testing with a slightly older version of java 6 and that still had the same implementation as java 5 (so no problem for us)
But i upgraded also to java 6u33 and there is do see the same impl of java 7 that causes the repaint manager to work differently. I have fixed this

I’m missing the application.output(msg) entries in the Console of Servoy Dev. 6.0.7!?

i think somehow your debugger is not connected, does the debug view display really an active debug session?
Press the start (smart/web) client button once more

11

Hi Johan,

I have tried the debugger and the debug view is displaying the active session! Now the console entries are back.

The change from the “Servoy Design” tab to the “Debug” tab in the developer works only at the first time I run the debugger. On all the next debugs I have to switch manually to the “Debug” tab. This issue exists also in the previous versions of Servoy 6.0 on win and on mac.

Regards,

12

But your Design perspective does have that console view (where you see the messages on) and it does have the right debug session selected?

jcompagner:

Yes, this is now working as expected.

14

There is a horrible bug been introduced in 6.0.7 where you have a text label over a button, which has a highlight on it

It is Java Version Specific. It seems that 1.6 26 works OK, but 33 and Java 7 causes the issue.

When you move the mouse over these buttons the text label then disappears. The odd thing is that it doesn’t affect all of them, even though the arrangement, name, script are identical for a few buttons.

Was happening in Developer on my new Macbook 6.0.7 Java 1.6 33, but not on home mac which is still 26.

Upgraded the server last night and then all hell broke loose with it happening on windows machines in production, but only when Java > 1.6 26 or 1.7.

Have downgraded in the meantime.

David, this is already discussed in this thread then with the latest java version (6 or 7) because of some internal changes there, and a change of us in that area, is causing that for some overlapping components not be painted quite correctly, we worked already around this new java behavior

16

Great thats a relief Johan.

I guess I will have to wait a few more days/weeks for my smooth drop down combos which you fixed so nicely in 6.0.7

David

17

When do you expect to have this issue with overlapping components resolved? Meaning, when you say that you already worked around the new java behavior, does that mean you will have a new update (Servoy 6.0.8)? Or that there is a specific version of java we should be running?

18

no 6.0.8 or 6.1.1 will have the fix for that
