[Bug]Following Sequence Of Moves Results In Object Switching Bands
Posted by Mike Kerner on July 15, 2008 at 4:46pm
Since I apparently can't align elements in different bands, I was doing it manually. So I selected an element in the title band, checked the left position. Then I selected an object in the Details band, and use the arrow keys to move it. Then I selected an element in the title band again (further right), checked its left, then selected another object in the detail band and hit the arrow key to move it, EXCEPT when I did, this last element jumped from the detail band to the title band.
I thought that was kind of weird, so I tried it again, and lo and behold, this behavior repeated itself.

Hmm, this one is proving quite elusive to reproduce. I managed to do it twice so far, but haven't pinned down the exact circumstances yet - I'll have another go this evening after work.

Jan,
Note to self - just because an object appears to be in the correct band doesn't mean it is. Drag the bars around to resize the bands, and you may notice objects that have migrated bands but coordinates are negative as a result of this one. That was how I found the negative-coordinate bug after trying to chase this one down for you.

I think I'm starting to see a pattern - it seems to happen when you click to select the item in the other band and your click lands on where the resize handle of the item would be.
That seems to be fairly repeatable - now for the fix...
