Form Editor Bug

Post by pendle »

It seems the Properties side-panel in the form editor is no longer interactive (cannot click to toggle or edit fields), and I've noticed this in several recent versions of PB. So I have to switch to code-view to edit gadget properties. This is broken in both the "Toolbox" and "Objects" tab.

:arrow: EDIT: Manually dragging to resize the properties sidebar fixes the problem! Still a bug, but this is a clue.

I just tested this on Linux Mint PB Version 6.21 (x64) and it works fine! My version on Windows is 6.20, so either that has been fixed in 6.21, or it's a bug on Windows versions if that helps.

This may be due to the monitor scaling.
However, it also works on my VM Windows 11 with 125% scaling with PB v6.20 and higher.
Problems may arise when using multiple monitors with different scaling settings.

I did have 2 monitors but the problem persists after removing one.. However...

:arrow: I just randomly dragged to rescale the properties sidebar, and after changing the width of it, everything works as normal! Very strange, but this is a big clue to what's causing it.
