"Add a symbol and enter" is broken


 

Hello.
I just realized today that the function where you type a symbol followed by colon and name of symbol is broken.
It always adds the last thing that was typed. Example if I type "sub:init" ENTER then "sub:GUI" ENTER then "sub:Videowall" ENTER, the first folder is named "init" as it should, the second folder is named "initsub:GUI" and the third "initsub:GUIsub:Videowall"

SIMPL Windows:? 4.25 (build: 4.2500.04)

This is a major PITA!
Anyone else noticed that?


 

Enter no longer clears the last?typed
so if you?type "init" ENTER ENTER ENTER you get 3 init?

I noticed this the other day. I thought I was going crazy for a bit until I realized what was going on.

Exactly!


 

It has been this way for a while now. I've just got used to pressing Esc each time before I start typing a symbol name.


 

I thought they had fixed this a while ago but I just tried too and alas it is still broken. Well at least we have OS4!!!!! ugh


 

Well, technically, you could STILL be going crazy... :-)

Actually that problem has been around for at least a few months, and I think it's even been discussed in the Group. While we're talking strange things, here's something else I've noticed lately...

I use Search & Replace (F9) on a folder, and SOME of the instances don't get replaced. I've noticed it a couple of times in the last month or two, and haven't been able to discern a pattern, but I'm pretty sure I'm not imagining it.

Tony, I have only had this happen once. That one time it renamed all the inputs and the first half of the outputs on a module.
I just figured I had a spelling error on those outputs.


 
Edited

Yes, it's a known issue with only v4.25 that was reported to the SIMPL team shortly after that build's release.
Suspect related to the new CTRL+Enter feature that allows for adding multiple instances of symbols.
Workaround is to click away to something else (a symbol, logic folder, detail view, etc.) before typing speed keys again.
It's reportedly already been fixed in the next upcoming SIMPL release.
