PAC Suite- more odd copy paste.

I tested this in 3.8.0.14

It was also tested in 3.7.x.x - I did not do the 3.7 test, so I am unsure the exact rev/subrev.

 

Now that I have a way to read the updated 'datalogger' files from the P1 server, I have something else.

I stopped working on a way to collect this data since I could not download the log correctly.

 

I have gotten back to it to find this:

In 'Odd_Paste_1' notice the diagonal selection. I am certain that I did not intend to make a diagonal selection. I meant to copy 'GET_EN_25_2.Success' (Items 1 and 2, below, describe how I could do this.)

CTRL-C to copy

In 'Odd_Paste_2' I meant to paste 'GET_EN_25_2.Success' over 'GET_EN_25_1.Complete'

CTRL-V to paste

In 'Odd_Paste_3' the diagonal selection is copied across two separate rungs. The horizontal offset is lost, but that is not the issue.

[EDIT since we have NO PREVIEW!

Note the element at 63.2 column 2 is pasted onto 63.3 column 2 and the element at 63.3 column 3 is pasted onto 64.0 column 2.]

The issue is that the contents of one rung is pasted across multiple rungs.

 

I have noticed this before, but I could not duplicate it.

-1 sometimes it seems that I am just faster than the PAC editor. I can click on a different rung element and the old cursor location is NOT cleared after the cursor is moved to the new location. - this is unacceptable.

-2 a CTRL_CLICK will select two disparate rung elements - this IS acceptable and in some cases desirable.

-3 a single-rung copy should NEVER be allowed to be pasted across multiple rungs - no matter the selection count or the locations of the selected rung elements

 

As another test, I did the 'Odd_Paste_TEST' --- 1 and 2

I made a multiple element copy and pasted into rung 67.0 Column 1.

I get two rungs out of one copy/paste.

 

I hope that I made this understandable and can be duplicated.

 

--Note, I am trying to read a bunch of strings from a string array in the other PAC.

It seems that I have to bruteforce SINGLE string reads! I am not worried (at this time) about cleaning up the rungs. This will happen later.

    As a result of that rung paste issue, I think that I see something else. Maybe an internal pointer/index was corrupted!

    Please find the BOOL named TestComp in any Network Read instruction!

    I DARE YA!

     

    PAC Suite 3.8.0.14

    This is after loading the (possibly corrupt?) project into a new instance of the software!

    [Edit, I put strikethru in the above line because I went back to an older rev of this PoC project. The invalid search results still show! So the copy/paste issue did not appear to have caused the invalid search results]

    Found it!

    I now seem to remember this from many headaches ago!

    I thought that this was fixed many releases ago!

    The copy/paste issue seems to be related to the release notes for 3.2.0.12 bugfix 28
