Bug? Views Disappear in Designer - position goes outside variant

[doncx]

I'm having a problem in Designer, where sometimes a view, when I click on it, shoots off the screen and outside of the variant dimensions with a negative position setting.

It can be briefly fixed by setting the position value manually but the next time it is clicked in the abstract designer, it flies off the screen again.

It's a frustrating problem ,but may be the result of something stupid I'm doing, as I don't see other references to it here in the forum.

Any idea what's going on?

No idea without seeing your code.

I think if this happens in designer mode than your Keyboard or Mouse may be malfunctioning !!!

Code: Do you mean Designer code or program code?

Tried to bundle it up for you, but after necessary adjustments for that, problem has gone away - both in the example and original. If it crops up again, I'll post it.

I don't think there's any need for code.

Seems to be a bug that occurs when a right-anchored element (label, in my case) is inside a horizontal-both anchored panel. Might require two right-anchored elements in the panel. The solution is to left-anchor the element and set its position in designer code.

Not sure if this happens every time, but when it does, left anchoring the element always fixes it.

Is the zoom 100% or 50% when it happens?

Great question, Erel. I just checked on a .bal that's having the problem - it only happens at 50%

It's very helpful just to know that.

It is a bug. It will be fixed in the next update.

Thanks, Erel. Meanwhile, it's simple enough to work at 100%.
