Highlighting in version 2.5 makes giant ellipses

Post by algorimancer »

I just updated to version 2.5, Build 188.0, dated November 25. Following update, when I highlight a line of text the highlighting appears as an ellipse rather than a highlighted line of text. The vertical height of the ellipse is about half the length of the highlighted text. Also, possibly randomly or following clicking to highlight on a non-text area, highlighting becomes unresponsive, as does text selection and sometimes drawing. (I have reverted to the last stable version, as the current version is nearly unusable). Also, the integrated "Report a problem" feature attempts to use the Exchange server, which I don't happen to have set-up on this laptop (so the response I originally composed was lost and unable to send). I'm using a Dell Latitude E6500 laptop running Windows XP.

Hello algorimancer,

We are aware of a problem with the highlights inthe latest build, but what you describe with those ellipses is something I encounter for the first time.
If you still have a sample file with this can you please archive and attach it here (or if sensitive send it to suport@tracker-software.com) and we will have a look.

Best,
Stefan

Hello algorimancer,

This issue is reported as fixed.
Can you please confirm that build 189 is working for you?

I tried it on a different computer and it looks good. I'll try to get back to the same laptop and verify in the next few days.

Thank you :)

Thanks for the update algorimancer,

It should be OK on the said laptop as well after the update, but in the unlikely event it's not - you know where to find us :D

Best,
Stefan
