Rapid PHP 2010 (10.0.2.118) glitch on File Explorer view

[russellweed]

OS is Windows 7 Professional 64-bit. This bug also existed in Rapid PHP 2007, and I was hoping it would've been fixed for the 2010 version.

Whenever you have the Messages pane (Find-in-files results) shown and then hide it, sometimes the File Explorer's list view gets the height stuck at what it was when the messages pane was still visible. See lower left-hand corner of the attached screenshot.

Whoops looks like I don't have permissions to attach a file. Try this link:

Steps to reproduce:
1) Be using Windows 7
2) Dock File Explorer pane on the left, on the Project tab, in Tree view
3) View -> Messages to show the Messages pane
4) View -> Messages again to hide it
5) Get lucky, as it doesn't happen every time. But once it does, it sticks there until you exit Rapid PHP

I have Windows 7 32-bit, I tried as you said seevral times without any luck Anything else that may help reproducing this? Could it be 64-bit only issue (64-bit only issues are not uncommon as 64-bit Windows still cause a lot of trouble). Tested on Vista 64-bit, all fine.

Unfortunately I have steps to reproduce, as it seems completely random when it happens. It happens maybe twice a day. Every other time is fine.

I think the only other possible lead is that I'm using a custom assigned shortcut (F5) to hide the messages pane, and the menu...

I found a way to reliably reproduce this, for me at least.

It seems the culprit is having the Messages bound to a key (for me, F5). If I click View->Messages to toggle the Messages window on/off I never run into the problem. But if I simply hit F5 I seem to have a 50/50 chance of it happening.

1. Use Options->Keyboard Shortcuts... to bind Messages to a key, such as F5
2. Have your File Explorer docked on the left, in Project view, and in Tree view
3. Do a Find in Files where you have at least 1 result
4. Press your bound key to hide the Messages pane.
5. Repeat a few times if needed to trigger the error.

To see it working properly, use the View->Messages menu instead of pressing the key on step 5.

Also if you do not do the Find in step 3 that gets at least 1 match, then everything works fine. So that part is important in to reproduce the error.

What happens if you choose say F10 as the shortcut key. F5 seems to be used by File Explorer (refresh), so it could be that with F5 you are triggering both File Explorer refresh and re-size at the same time which is not a good idea.

[russellweed]

• Any other function key I have tried (F4, F5, ALT+F5, F11, F12) has the same problem, except for F10.

• F10 no longer has the problem, but for some reason I have to press the key twice. It looks like the IDE is trying to do something, but I don't know what. o.O

Is there any way you can intercept the Refresh message and stop it when a bound key tries to do something different? (Cancel the event bubbling, to borrow a Javascript term)

Thanks for taking the time to look into this. I know it's a small thing, but I love my keyboard shorcuts.
