Bugs [#16957]

Post by hintergrundrauschen »

I am really anticipating MM5's release, I will love it.

Having said that, the amount of UI errors is just endless. Thank heaven, it's only UI errors.
Using latest Win10, latest MM5 beta, FullHD.

1) "Pos1" - naming of upper most tree node has been Pos1 since the first beta. Should be something meaningful (not a cryptical keyboard key's name), e.g. "Home"

2) mouse wheel scrolling down doesn't work for the main panel's "album art" panel (album art, song text, scroll bar won't move when mouse over mouse wheeling)

3) Right now, several menu entry actions will only result in a tiny rectangular orange colored window displaying "options", the size of the word "options", e.g. View->Layout or Extras->Options. Didn't do that before, can't reproduce.

4) Using the main window's "full window" icon action and going back to "normal window" will make the bottom panel disappear (menu option stays active/checked, unchecking and cheking again will make it appear again).

5) Selecting View->Visualisation will either do a) nothing at all b) showing visuals in bottom right panel or c) full window visual, seems to be by chance IMHO.

6) Minimizing and reopening MM5 window will sometimes result in an after-0.5-second-resizing of the window of about 1 Pixel, hard to tell, sort of flickering.

7) right panel, showing "now playing" (upper panel) and song info (lower panel) and pressing the hide right panel icon, the show right panel icon, will make the "now playing" disappear, showing only the song info. I have to repeat this to show it again. I guess this is intended?

8) Changing "image size" to some value eg. 200%, this afternoon, saving, then changing back to 100% led to a big multiple lines script error window. I was offered to submit a bug report, which I accepted. MM5 froze at 0% of submitting, so no bug report or error log.

Please don't post a massive list of issues in a single thread. Where available use existing topics and otherwise post separate ones. Also state the exact build you're using. Where possible capture the issue in a debug log: https://www.mediamonkey.com/forum/viewt ... 30&t=86643

1) Perhaps you have a Collection named like that? Check Tools > Options > Collections & Views. No such node is shown here in the Media Tree.

2) Please detail which exact View you're using in the Filelisting, both Grid (by Album) and List (by Album) Views scroll fine here. Are you instead referring to the Now Playing in Album Art View?

3) Please detail or show via screencast/screenshot. No menu's seem to be failing here.

4) What do you have enabled in the Bottom Panel and are you referring to using full screen from Now Playing? I can't reproduce here.

5) Works fine here. It's shown in the Preview window. Switching between window modes also works.

6) What is your monitor setup and do you have a non-default DPI or Text Size set in Windows?

7) Can't reproduce with Right Panel with Now Playing in upper part and Preview in lower part. Hiding/Showing Right Panel doesn't alter what windows are inside it.

8 ) Unable to reproduce.

I see this problem also with v 2268.
The problem happens for View|Options and Tools|Options ... it looks like this ... Esc key makes it close ... or you can drag it's edges to disclose the whole dbox, or you can double click it to toggle between normal and maximised .. but that little orange windows the OP describes is all that is visible by default
Want a dark skin for MM5? This is the one that works best for me .. elegant, compact & clear.

3) You can resize this. I saw this with the whole MediaMonkey and reported it here: https://www.ventismedia.com/mantis/view.php?id=16957

Thanks for the quick reply and sorry for the massive issue list post.

This results from an incomplete German localization, so no worries at this point. "Home" after changing to English (you can't change this node's name on your own).

Yes, its left panel.

That's it. Obviously a maximally minimized window. Can be resized to normal manually.

That's what I meant, I have enabled the Player in bottom panel, and it disappeared in Full Window and didn 't come back. Cannot reproduce in latest beta (5.0.0.2268) myself, I will check back on this in the future.

FullHD with Windows's scaling set to 150% on my media PC. Cannot reproduce on my 4K Desktop.

Sorry maybe I used the 2267 build before although I posted on Sep 26th, or the reinstall got rid of #4, #5, #7.

I will take a screenshot of the script error popup next time.
