Forums Bug Reports $lactivewid bug?

There seems to be a bug in $lactivewid.

When switching between channels it doesn't seem to register the last active window number.

In the code I added to my titlebar which shows the activewid/lactivewid it'll either return 'current/0' or 'current/'

Its hard to explain.

I can't reproduce this.



I switched between several different types of windows, including channel to channel, but the correct wids were echod.

Try switching between the windows really quickly?

I got several

-
* /echo: insufficient parameters
-

messages in my status window.

Works every time

I can't seem to reproduce this either. If you try the following event and hold down Control+Tab to switch quickly between windows, what do you see?

on *:active:*: echo -s active: $activewid lastactive: $lactivewid

CTRL + TAB seems to work correctly, but wif mouse use it doesn't.

I tried switching back and forth between two windows by clicking on each window quickly, and was not able to reproduce the problem here.

How are you switching windows? Are you clicking on the switchbar buttons, or in the windows themselves? On the titlebars, or in the main display part of each window?

I'm using treeview to switch between windows.

Okay, I created two @windows and then single-clicked on each window item in the treebar, back and forth... I wasn't able to do it very quickly... unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce the problem...

Are you selecting each window by moving the mouse up and down and clicking each item with the left mouse button?

Yes.

This may sound weird but I'm reproducing the error wif my windows maximized. I couldn't reproduce any when they were tiled or cascaded.

unfortunatly, i cant seem to reproduce this either, the code to echo in the status window seems to be working fine, i even tried on several diff types of windows (#,@,etc.) //say $lactivewid also correctly says the ... $lactivewid.

active: 17 lastactive: 21
active: 11 lastactive: 17
active: 6 lastactive: 11
active: 12 lastactive: 6
active: 7 lastactive: 12
active: 4 lastactive: 7
active: 13 lastactive: 4
active: 9 lastactive: 13
active: 5 lastactive: 9
active: 8 lastactive: 5
active: 20 lastactive: 8


and so on and so forth ...


although, once i got:

active: 19 lastactive: 1
active: 19 lastactive:


and another time:

active: 17 lastactive: 19
active: 19 lastactive: 17
active: 19 lastactive:


those seem weird ... but its working for the most part.

Thanks I've made a small change which should resolve this issue for the next version.
