Blank Preview Window and error dialogs

Post by davenz »

Hi guys

Just wondering if anyone else can confirm these minor issues, the first of which has been happening on my machines since the last update of WB and the latter for as long as I have been using the software (12 months or more).

Open WB, load any html file (if one is not already loaded) and click 'Horizontal Split' preview option. WB 'thinks' for a few seconds only to show... nothing. Clicking the 'refresh' button does nothing, though clicking 'Generate preview File' results in the page being previewed, as expected. (As an aside, can someone explain why the Generate Preview File dialog is not a button but a drop-down selector? Does anything else ever show in there? Just interested in this unorthodox implementation as I must be looking at it the wrong way).

Clicking 'Preview' (full page preview) shows the page fine, though 'Vertical Split' exhibits the same behaviour as 'Horizontal Split'.

Once one page has loaded, all subsequent pages load OK until the next time WB is opened, where the first split-screen preview will be empty once more.

This behaviour occurs on both my laptop and desktop machines, both running Vista (pre SP1) and using the latest build of WB (9.1.0.98).

I also have an issue with preview files not being found, an old but largely resolved issue, except, I have discovered, when editing CSS files. For some reason, on both my machines, when I have a CSS file open in the editor, I can hit the enter key to create a line break and every time on cue the error below happens. While I can grab the mouse and click out of it, it gets pretty annoying after a while.

I can replicate 100% as follows.

Create new css document. Save as whatever.css. Select either of the split-screen preview modes. Add any code. Save. Hit the enter (retrun) key. Error message replicates in time with however many seconds preview delay you have set in the program options (in my case, 1 every second).

Anyone else with either of these?

Thanks

Dave.

Is there anything specific about your config? Does the problem occur if you install it on clean machine with default settings?

I could not reproduce any of these...
