Problems window issues

Hi Folks,

I thought I remembered reporting this issue before and that a bug was raised in relation to it, but I cant find the forum thread for the life of me!

If I build a project (C2000  atm) that has errors or warnings that should show within the problems window and the problems window is not pinned, the problems only show if the project folder is selected within the project explorer window. If any other project item in any other window is selected, say the file with the errors in the editor window, then the problems window is cleared! This only seems to happen if the problems window is not pinned, this of course makes it very frustrating to use as the use case goes like this:

1. Build- note that there are errors indicated by the icon overlay.

2. Click the problems window tab open - no problems show as a file is selected from  the editor window

3. Click the project in the project explorer - the problems tab closes as it is not pinned and has now lost focus to the project explorer window.

4. Click the problems window tab open again, maybe double click on a problem to open the associated file, the problems window clears AGAIN because now the selection has moved from the project in the project explorer window to the file that the editor window opened.

5. Open the darn *%&^&£$ problems window again!  Grrrrrrr...

6. Repeat 2 -5 for any further problems listed.

On smaller screens it is not feasible to have all the necessary windows pinned open all the time, so this rigmarole is fist-thru-screen annoying after the first few hundred times...

As I mentioned, I could have sworn I reported this before and it was filed as a bug that was promised for fix for 6.1.1 but a) I cannot find that thread (it was some time ago and may even have been for a v5.x release),  b) I see that the issue still remains in the latest release v6.1.1 release.

Can you reproduce this?

Will it be fixed?

Ta, T

  • Toby,

    I believe you are referring to this thread?

    This bug is still open, and is currently planned to be fixed in the next release CCS 6.2.

  • I am indeed! Seems like it wasn't as long ago as it feels XD

    How in heavens name did you find the thread? I really did try to find it before I posted again as I was dead certain I had posted before; I checked my profile activity, searched the forums for my user name, searched for likely tags, searched for problems view, problems window.... must have spent about 40 mins looking through SERPs!

    Anyway, good to know it is to be included in the next release, any news on when that release is planned for?
    Thanks, T

    I believe you! :-) The forum search isn't the best but I was able to find it quickly because I remembered filing that bug, so I searched and found it in the bug database first, which, in turn, cross-referenced the forum thread.

    CCS 6.2 is currently planned for 1Q 2016.
