First field edit in listView fails after ALT-TAB back into MM

Post by peter_h »

In Autoplaylist--listView, I'm directly editing the title field by clicking on it.
I'm needing to manually copy-paste track titles from a manual web-lookup of the album.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

In MM24, Click on a row to hilight a track.
ALT-TAB to a browser (Firefox in my case)... Select text...CTRL-C the text.
ALT-TAB back to MM.
Click the Title field in the selected row. Press F2.
Press Ctrl-V to paste new text. Hit ENTER key.

PROBLEM: The new title text does not replace the old (on the screen, at least).
However, if I immediately repeat the last 2 steps of the sequence above (Click field>F2>Paste>ENTER), then the text is replaced, as expected.
It is only the first field that I try to enter after immediately returning focus to MM from Firefox that fails the (screen) update.

I say (screen) because I'm not sure if the database IS ACTUALLY updated but the screen isn't, or it's both. Either way, it's still unexpected behaviour (a bug?).

Notes: Files I'm trying to edit are .ogg(opus) files.

Currently evaluating a migration from MM4 (4.1.31.1919 on Win7 SP1/16Gig RAM/intel) to MM2024 (latest Debug version on Win11 24H2/16GB RAM/intel)

**If you're wondering why I'm still on MM4: It still has more useful-to-me plugins; and I prefer the GUI's responsiveness, panes spreadable over multi-monitors flexibility, and predictability (all coz it's more Windows-native). I also hate "flat design" for its visual inefficiency. For me, MM4's benefits are still > MM5, and MM5's downsides < MM4. There still appears to be way less MM5 plugins -- even after all this time. MM5 docs for plugin developers seem very undeveloped to me -- which makes me uninclined to invest into learning how to improve MM5 for my own wants.

Hi Pete,

I'm unable to replicate with the current beta. Are you seeing this with build 3078? Does it occur after shutdown/restart?

I'm unable to reproduce either on build 3078.

I'm using 3078 as a Portable installation.

Hmmm... After a restart, I'm now also unable to reproduce the problem.

I'll keep an eye out, and if it happens again, I'll report back in. (Perhaps with a screencapture video?)

Thanks for looking into it. :)

And a debug log (step 4b).
