Zugg Software :: View topic - [2.25] CMUD Pro problem with 'Character Mode' in an undocked window.

Posted: Fri May 23, 2008 2:51 am

If a window is undocked and is using Character Mode, typing characters doesn't seem to send anything to the server.
In the example below, I'm connecting to an ssh server running on 'localhost' that I installed with cygwin.

1. Start CMUD and create a new session (I named mine TestSession).
2. Connect to TestSession.
3. Click on the Settings button and turn off the command line for TestSession. (Note: This step isn't really needed)
4. Click on Properties-->Session and turn on Character Mode. Click OK.
5. Type something to verify it works (i.e. you can see what you type).
6. Undock the window from the main CMUD program (make it floating).
7. Type again.

Result: Characters that you type aren't sent to the server, however pressing 'Enter' works.

Note: If you also turn 'Local Echo' on, even the local echoing doesn't display (though it does locally echo the 'Enter').

As an extra example:

1. Re-dock the window again so that you can type.
2. Type 'aaaabbbb' (don't press Enter yet).
3. Undock the window again.
4. Type 'cccc' (nothing should display)
5. Finally, press 'Enter' while the window is undocked.

Result: The server sees 'aaaabbbb' as the command, but the 'cccc' is left off, confirming the server never got it.

Confirmed that I am seeing the same problem with either a Telnet or an SSH session.

Another point to note is that the return key seems to work, but no other key does.

Docking the window makes it all work again.

OK, that's a really weird problem, but I'll add it to the bug list. I can't imagine how undocking the window would prevent character mode from working or not. But I'll see if I can figure it out.

Did this get fixed as part of the other character mode fixes? * EDIT: Oops yes it did it was listed lower down the version history. *
