[bug] Swapping locked and normal tabs twice (PB7 Beta2)

janlay · Post by *janlay » 2006-12-11, 12:51 UTC

In this case, the first tab in left panel is marked as "locked, but allow dir change", and the third tab in the right panel is a normal tab. After applying cm_Exchange (swapping tabs) twice, the normal tab name is not dir name of the path, but the locked tab name instead.

Confirmed.

With CTRL + U, the same thing happens.

I also posted Chinese version of this bug on my blog, and attached a couple of screenshots. You could visit it from my signature.

Can anyone verify whether it works with TC 6.55a or not, please?

Nope, it does the same.

Please test whether this problem has been fixed or not!

Nope, it is not exactly fixed. Here's what is happening now:

Left panel is in DIR1 and is "locked but dir changes allowed". Header shows "*DIR1".
Right panel is in DIR2 and is not locked. Header shows "DIR2".

Pressing CTRL+U: The contents of the panels are swapped but the headers show "*DIR1" and "DIR1" (which is wrong). Pressing CTRL+U again shows "*DIR1" and "DIR2" (which is correct).

By pressing CTRL+U one would expect the headers to be "DIR2" and "*DIR1".

No, the locked state does not get swapped, just the folders themselves!

Fixed in TC7b3 but not in TC6.56.

Shouldn't it? I assume the user would be interested to lock the specific folder, not "the 3 tab at the right panel". I think if the folders are swapped, the locked state should be swapped too.

Shouldn't it?

I don't think so. Other options like the sort order, the shown file types (wildcards) etc aren't swapped either!

You're right but now that i think of it, i wonder what purpose this behavior serves. Anyway, i guess time and usage will tell if it's convenient.
