Drop Shadow Display buttons do not refresh

Post by davidh »

When you click the Mask square and then the command New mask... the Mask dialog opens, the image area gets split, but the display buttons do not switch to "Display the Input and Output Side by Side Preview", which I think it should.

This may or may not have something to do with the two following obseravations:

1. Click the Mask square -> New Mask... create a mask
push the "Synchronize Scrolling" up
push it down -> the mask overlay disappears

Now you can toggle it up and down and the mask overlay will not reappear until you either push down the "Display the Input and Output Side by Side Preview" or click on the Mask dialog to make it active

2.The following scenario sometimes results in a crash:

Click the Mask square -> New mask...create a mask
push the "Display the Input and Output Side by Side Preview" down
push the "Synchronize Scrolling" up
Close Drop Shadow dialog using "X" -> PWP crashes

It happens at random, and as soon as it happens one or two times, it is harder to reproduce it. Today, for example, it happened only once at first try and then not any more.

The problems with the split screen button and the mask overlay disappearing affected most transformations and has been fixed for the next release. I was not able to reproduce the crash, but it may have been because I fixed the other problems.
