[APBeta] AstroPlanner V2.0b33 released

[Jeff Young]

Paul --

I most often get the "click-through" behavior when using something from the context menu, but I've also gotten it a few times with other windows (even ones whihc aren't AstroPlanner).  For instance, last time I pulled an Outlook window to the front clicking around in my mail messages was selecting plan objects in the AP window behind it.

In these cases the AP Plan window gets "stuck" in that mode.  It won't happen with other open plans, but it will keep happening with the affected one until I close and re-open it.

OK, then Vista too.

I've just been playing around with it and I have come to the conclusion that this is occurring only with windows or dialogs that are instantiated by right-clicking on the object list. Using the main menu, or using right-click elsewhere does not seem to have this effect. Of course, my testing has not been thorough. I currently do not have a clue why this is happening, but I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.


Give AP a good test this afternoon. The only other thing I have noticed is;

If you have an object in a plan,
Click the ? to find the ID from a catalog
Replace the object, overwriting the object
The object is selected, but you are at the bottom of the plan.
You have to scroll way up to find the selected object.

Is there anyway to centre the selected object automatically in the plan?

I'm sure I can fix that.

I have been having a few problems with the DSS download. The selected object tends to jump around in the background, selecting another object or a group of objects in the plan behind the download window.

I then select the plan and rehighlight the window and download and I get the object I want.

Any thoughts?

This is a "known issue" with Windows XP (only, I believe). There should be a way around it - I just need to experiment. It typically occurs when a window is opened as a consequence of using a contextual (right-click) menu. I have a bit of time right now. I'll start working on it.
