Some Bugs I noticed in the newest Version of WeBuilder

Post by Multicoder »

Hi,

I noticed some bugs in the newest Version of WeBuilder. Some of them were present in the past version as well.

1. Bookmarks (set with Ctrl+Shift+[1-9]) get removed when "Replace all" is applied.
2. When a function parameter has a string-default-value, the function-hint gets messed up (see screenshot)

(yes, I noticed that $i_myint is described as "Some String Variable", damn copy & pase ;) )
When I alter $i_myint=4 to $s_mystr_4='' nothing gets printed bold at all.

4. When I try to indent a code-block of 2 or more lines by holding TAB down, I can't see where the code is at the moment. The indentation happens only when I release TAB.
The amount of lines that has to be selected to reproduce this behavior depends on the size of the file. In my case (2 or more lines) the file is 10900 lines long (I know, I should refactor at some point :lol: ).

3. not a bug, but a missing feature regarding PHPDoc: the parameter-description is not shown in the function hint as seen in the above screenshot.

Apart from that, I'm in love with WeBuilder2016 so far :mrgreen:

1. This is an old issue and it occurs because Replace All physically replaces all text with a new text. We have had a few complaints about it but there was so much more stuff we wanted to add/fix first.
2. This is a new bug, I think we can fix it soon.
4. I don't think we will be able to fix a performance problem like this for such huge files. Redrawing can't keep up with the keyboard delay.
3. We considered displaying more info in the hint but at least for now decided against it because we want to avoid the situations where the hint could get huge. Of course we will listen to our users and see how many of you request bigger hints with more information in them.

I just found another bug regarding the function hint:

when passing an array like

Code: Select all

my_test_function('test1', ['arrval1', 'arrval2'], 'test2', 'test3');
The "current parameter" indicator (bold text in hint) moves forward depending on the amount of commas in the array.

Support for arrays in parameter hints simply hasn't been added.

The links are fine, I'm not sure what's blocking them for you. Please contact support via http://www.webuilderapp.com/support-contact.php and we'll provide you with an alternative download location.
