[Beta 64-bit build] Bug reports

I created 7 levels of hierarchy, each level has very long name and the scrollbar appeared when I added level 7 with limited ability to scroll. I made very long names. Screenshot attached.

There is definitely a bug here.
  • The horizontal scrolling does not appear properly when topic name is too long and does not scroll until the end of the name

I am experiencing a strange bug: when trying to format a snippet (bold, italics, etc.) ig automatically goes to another snippet of the same topic and fornats it instead.
I have to restart RW to make it format the correct snippet, until this happens again.

Edit: this only happens using the formatting buttons, not with the formatting shortcuts

Edit 2: reinstalling RW fixed this

Duplicate Entries

Firstly I'll start off by saying not sure this is a bug or a feature:

1. I changed the topic type from Scene to Location, and decided that I had it wrong changed it back - so it duplicated every snippet.

2. Not sure if this is a bug - but hey if its a feature I like it - RW no longer warns you on duplicate names. Eg. Create 2 storerooms. it used to say something about duplicate names and did you want to use it anyway... it no longer prompts you. [EDIT] - It will do it if the duplicate was created in 245 or earlier...

I get the "Index was outside the bounds of the array" now on my main realm. It opened ok on release day, I made a quick change, synched with the web, dead now. It does NOT have bulk imports.

All other realms, including those with bulk imports, are working fine.
 
@rob and crew: What is the status on ongoing work to address issues reported by those who have tried the 246 version? Any thoughts to share? :)
 
Another bug that continues to exist in the 64 version (I reported this long ago):
  • When the shortcut for Clear Formatting (Ctrl + Space) operation is used in a snippet, a space is added automatically in the very beginning of the first paragraph.
 
Probably it is intentional feature, to keep users aware that it is BETA, but still
  • The exclamation mark does not go away when Released notes are checked in the Tools tab and the Release Notes section of the page.
 
Yes, a update would be good.

The weekly progress update is overdue this week. Come on, LWD, didn't you see how happy everyone was about the increased communication? Don't get sloppy with it again, that would make me sad. If rob has health or work issues keeping him from posting, let at least someone else inform us about that. Even a "sorry, too busy, no update this week" from the intern would be better than silence.
 
When a content element is renamed, Realm Works no longer prompts the user to perform a fixup of matching links within other content. These matching links are now automatically displayed with the correct name without the need for a separate fixup operation.

If the occurrences of the link are going to be automatically changed to the new text, can we get an option to disconnect ALL links before we change the topic title?

Sometime the topic title is being changed in order to prevent future linking (e.g. by adding the word "The" to the start, and this word definitely doesn't want adding to all occurrences of links to the topic).
 
Various options were added in beta 247 to change the behaviour of Realm Works, and these options are changing the behaviour by default.

This means that a user who upgrades is going to have to read the release notes in order to realise that they will have to go in and change several options to keep their current behaviour.

I think that all these sorts of options should default to the previous product default - especially if it is a per-realm setting when a user will have to go into each realm and find all the options to revert to previous behaviour. (Which is the case for the changed behaviour selections.)

On the "Content Display" preference panel, the currently selected "Label Display" option is removed when interacting with entries in the "Content Link Display" section of the panel.

Changing to a different realm aspect and back again, restores the indication of the selected label display (but again is lost when keyboard focus is moved to the content link display section).

How often is this really the case? Every time I've ever changed a topic's title I've wanted the links updated. Why would you want to do what you describe?

Because I do.

Many times I've needed to change a topic's title and break the links to it. e.g. a topic called "bedroom" that I'm renaming so that the name of the place appears in the topic title - I don't want "happy hunter bedroom" appearing everywhere in the linked topics.

Or, because I'll quite often have a topic with slightly the wrong name, and only after I have entered other information do I realise that I want the name of the topic changed - and I then have to manually go through each connected topic to remove the link before I can change the title of the topic.

Automatically changing the text that appears in other topics isn't always a good thing.

Ok. Different solution to a problem everyone who has entered published material or has a lot of generic locations. I just deal with the multiple choices for the link targets and choose the right one based on suffix. I can see not wanting that.

Has anyone tested to see if changing a topic title that is the same as multiple other topics changes all the links pointing to those topics?
 
Ignore this message found the answer

Something I noticed in the latest build is that it is only showing me 2 options in Automatic Content Link Detection when I might have 3 or more defined.

Is this planned? Something I missed when I was setting up Preferences? I usually like to select between 3-4 possibilities.

I checked by stepping back to build 46 and it shows 3 on the article in question... on build 47 only showing 2.

Still getting index out of bounds errors with the 247 version, and I'm itching to get that fixed so I too can bask in the glory of 64-bit! :)
