· and ▯ symbols appearing in window title

[jtc]

First of all, thanks for the great software Lubos!

Since desktop version 19.12.3 on Windows, · and ▯ symbols are appearing in the window title while working in a business:

I have also noticed (pre-dating 19.12.3) that when editing options on the Preferences screen, the window title can become a bit unfriendly:

These issues continue through to the latest version 19.12.12 and I am using Windows 10 Version 1909 (OS Build 18363.535). I haven’t tested Mac/Linux/Server/Cloud.

@lubos i can confirm this issue happening on Windows 10 Version 1909 OS Build 18363.535

@jtc i do not think this is an issue but an improvement showing in the title what setting is being changed. also, it would help the developer in many ways by setting unique names for every form.

@lubos is this issue being looked into? not a priority but it does not look right.

Since version 19.12.14, the · or ▯ no longer appears after the business name, but the ▯ still appears after the second breadcrumb when three levels deep (e.g. when editing a Sales Invoice):

This continues through to the latest release 19.12.22. Indeed not a priority, but perhaps @moderators could move this to #bugs, just so it’s on the backlog?

@jtc, it appears that the situation is related to Invoice Numbers.

What is the Invoice number that’s related to your example or is it using

Can you provide examples of other forms (Purchase Invoice etc) and does it make any difference to the bread crumb if you are using the “automatic” or not.

@Brucanna

it appears that the situation is related to Invoice Numbers.

i do not think so because this seems to appear for all tabs where you do not have reference numbers. for example editing a Customer, editing an account in COA, editing a Bank Rule and so on.

@Brucanna

does it make any difference to the bread crumb if you are using the “automatic” or not.

i have checked and there is no difference.

maybe @lubos need to check this issue. i am on version 20.2.0 Windows 10 x64 version 1909 build 18363.628
on a prior Manager version this happened even with the business name in the title bar but looks like that issue has disappeared now (atleast for me).

Ok, testing with Ver 19.9.2 on Windows 10x64 / 1909 and the symbols don’t appear, therefore between that Ver and Ver 19.12.3 the situation has developed. Whilst not a bug as such it appears to be a regressive condition, on Window’s Edition at least so will list as a bug.

[lubos]

Thanks. Fixed in the latest version (20.2.30)

Just noticed the ▯ still appears in Batch Create or Update window titles:




(appears to be the case in all tabs that allow Batch operations, e.g. Supplier, Bank Accounts, Quotes, etc etc)

I also wonder whether the Pascal case window names in some screens are intentional, or an oversight compared to the rest of the program which uses friendlier titles?




Plus UserForm, UserPermissionForm and ChangePasswordForm in Server/Cloud.
