Bug when grouping polylines
Posted: Wed May 03, 2023 8:30 am
After writing a big "Thank You" for developing this piece of software, I would like to report a bug that I found in version 2.11.1 on mac. I have been using it only for a short time, but I am pretty sure someone can replicate the issue as follows.
The problem:
I had been drawing polylines and then creating empty groups (folders) in order to organize them by drag-dropping the first to the latter. It had been working flawlessly, but at a certain point the DBtree structure was acting erratically when dragging and dropping the polylines into folders. Very often the polylines would disappear, the application would crash/hang after dropping or after trying to delete a polyline that was previously dragged. I have not tried this with other types of objects.
The solution so far:
I tried to recreate the project, I uninstalled and installed back the application, nothing helped. I then remembered that the problem appeared since the moment I changed the polyline oversampling to 1 (I had it on 3 before). So I again increased the number to 2 and the grouping process works fine ever since.
At least to my eyes, it's a weird relation (oversampling value & grouping) and I don't know if the same behaviour is true for newer versions, since I tried but could not install any newer one. I guess the 2.12 versions need 10.15+ OS and I currently have 10.14.6. But I will ask on the respective topic for this...
