Insert Related Elements Dialog - Seriously Broken?
« on: February 12, 2020, 04:03:45 pm »
Before I report this, can anybody confirm that the Insert Related Elements dialog is seriously broken in the refresh area?  For example, if I deselect one of the relationship types, and refresh, the list empties when it shouldn't.

pressing random controls on the dialog exhibits anomalous behaviour.

Is it just me?

Seems to work just fine for me.

The only "weird" thing about it is that some controls (such as the levels dropdown) do an auto-refresh, where others (such as the types of connectors) don't.

Thanks, Geert,

Yes, I agree (with the autorefresh weirdness).  It's a bit disconcerting!

However, did you try my scenario?  If I have seven types of connectors listed and I deselect 1, I don't expect the list to clear when I press refresh, I expect the list to reduce (excluding the metatype(s) I excluded).  Does your's provide a reduced list or an empty one?

Mine does what I expect. The list is reduced to only those that correspond to my selection.
