[2.14] Opening another session keeps stuff
|
This is another display item. I can't recall seeing this happen before, but this is a procedure I generally don't use.
Procedure
1. Launch CMud
2. Close Sessions window (ESC)
3. Enter at the command line 4 times
| Code: |
| #SAY test of a long line, that has gone on for a really long time because i felt like rambling and needed to make an absolutely huge line. |
4. Click the Sessions button
5. Open a session offline, your selected session should have multiple windows.

Similar but slightly different problem.
2 copies of the same session open. Each session is approximately the same size and sitting side by side. The first line of text input to the game goes incredibly long before it wraps, but subsequent lines wrap based on the window size.
(I would include screenshots, but that trick seems to be beyond me tonight.)
EDIT: The prompt this game uses places a > on the line following the prompt. If I turn prompts off, the lines wrap correctly. |

Yes, this is the same bug as in the other display issues. If CMUD can't determine the proper pixel length of lines, then it cannot wrap and cannot scroll properly.
Maybe I'll try to get some time tonight to see if I can do a quick fix. |

I am still seeing this problem with the updated 2.14. The problem is not in how the text is sized, although that is all sorts of bad too. The bug is that the text is even there when it was originally displayed in the untitled window.

Got that same result Vijilante was experience.
With no other sessions active (or open), trying that same line above, when I do open up a new session, the text in the untitled session would copy over into the new window. |

I cannot reproduce this. I notice that your example screenshot shows a window with a different font/style setting. I think that matters. I couldn't get this to fail using sessions with different fonts, but maybe you can come up with a procedure for me to try that doesn't require opening your specific session file.

New procedure for this that elminates the question of font/style.
1. Launch CMud
2. Close Sessions window
3. Enter at the command line
| Code: |
| #SAY This window should be blank. |
4. Click Sessions button in main toolbar to bring up Sessions window
5. Select New Session from the left panel of Sessions window
6. Enter something into the Title field for your new session
7. Click Save Session in the left panel of the Sessions window
8. Click Open Offline in the left panel of the Sessions window
Now you will see the text remains. The window the text ends up in is the first window produced by loading the session. So sessions that have multiple windows will put the text some place else. When the text goes into one of these other windows it gets first wrapped to that windows size, then resized according to that windows font settings which leads to the horrible display show in my screen shot.
Please blank the window and clear its scroll back as well as renaming it. If you don't think blanking it is right then make sure it ends up in the main session window and is displayed properly. |

Confirmed
#say %line shows "This window should be blank." too |

Ahh, OK, now I see what you are talking about. Yes, it looks like this is related to the code that tries to "reuse" the current "untitled" window. As you said, it isn't clearing the contents of this window when it reuses it. Added to the bug list.
