[TC11.02 64-bit] Find in Help closed automatically when help opened from nag screen

The behaviour described in the bug report is either by design, or would be far too complex/time-consuming to be changed

[TC11.02 64-bit] Find in Help closed automatically when help opened from nag screen

Post by *white »

  • Start TC 64-bit without license
  • In the nag screen click "Program information" or "Registration info"
    The help page is shown.
  • Click inside the help page to give it focus.
  • Press Ctrl+F (Find)
The Find prompt is closed automatically.

This issue does not occur when using 32-bit TC.

Confirmed, thanks.

Edit: I couldn't find the reason for this behaviour. I'm calling the same function to open the help as everywhere else.
You can open the help, then click one of the 1-2-3 buttons to close the dialog (keeping the help open), and then the search will work.

Since the help code is external, I will unfortunately have to move this to "will not be changed", sorry.

Same happens with Options button/Internet options and the Print button.

If you click one of the 1-2-3 buttons to close the dialog (keeping the help open), then Internet options will work but Print will not (you have to reopen the help for the print button to work).

It's kind of funny what strange bugs you've been discovering over the last little while :). Do you try out every combination of GUI controls or do you find these bugs accidentally?

I wanted to search something in the help, started a TC version, quickly accessed the Help from within the nag screen, and tried to use search when it failed.
