Code Explorer bug

Post by cdomigan »

Hi there.

The Code Explorer is not correctly refreshing when a new tab / code page is selected.

Eg I'll have two php files open, and if I activate another tab to bring up the second file the Code Explorer is still displaying the info for the previous file UNTIL I hover over the Code Explorer, which is when it repaints.

I could not reproduce the problem, sems to switch ok.

Do you use "Auto Switch Language" option?

Also what software are you using.

I've found the same thing. Code Explorer for PHP (functions, variables, etc.) only refreshes after switching documents when you hover over it. HTML and CSS properties refresh automatically--it's only an issue with PHP.

Software: Rapid PHP 2007.
OS: Win XP

Must be caused by some other setting because it does not happen on any of our computers.

I found out about this software from a site where someone also experienced the same problem. Here is the link.

I did some testing and it seems to happen with larger functions and/or longer files. I created a php file with a few small functions and they automatically refreshed. As soon as I pasted some larger ones into it, the code explorer only refreshed when I hovered over it, and going from a .txt document to .php for example would show a blank explorer panel. The only way to make it appear again was to hover over it.

It's not a big deal, the program is excellent for the money, so it's only a minor annoyance for me.

Ah, yes, it is good that you told this. Actually this was a feature. The program counts the amount of code and if there is too much, it does not launch auto-refresh, because it would delay switching between files for 0.5 sec.

At the time it was written, most computers were slower and we have improved processing speed a lot since then, so I guess, we can increase the tolerance.

I will look into this.
