Morning Deron: There's some -OOP's- in here this morning. Last night I was working on my drawing again and suddenly realized that I was using the keyboard shortcuts for Align and group, and they were working, so this morning I tried to find out what was going on.
Of course, I don't know what was going on the last time I used the program, because I thought I had tried each of the shortcuts several times.
This morning it all seem to be connected to the first-time problems. When PgS is run and a document is loaded there are several functions that don't work the first try, and it has to do with the first use of PgS: - New run PgS, doc, select an object. At this point no keyboard short cuts will work (A, D, R, T), but the functions will work through the menu. Attempt to select a second object by holding down the shift key and clicking. Most of the time the two objects appear to be selected, but the busy signal is still present. Once in while the selection is successful (this is always talking about new run of PgS, & doc). If the two objects are selected successfully the shortcuts still don't work. At this point if the blank screen is clicked on to deselect the objects now the shortcuts work. now one or more objects can be selected, and all the shortcuts work. Sometimes if (new run, doc) object is selected and then deselected the sortcuts will now work. Once everything is working if the document is closed and a new one opened, everything still works. (Of course if PgS has been minimized and then maximized the document can lot be closed.)
- The first time one attempts to use the elastic band, it doesn't work, leaves a dot on the screen and the busy signal comes on. Click on area with no objects to deselect the busy. Now it work. This function is not fixed just because the shortcuts are working, it has to be tried once before it will be fixed.
I tried (new run PgS, doc) using elastic band first. got it working, selected three objects with elastic, `A' still didn't work. Deselect objects. Select one object, `A' still not working. Deselect object and select again, now `A' works.
I hope this description is not too confusing.
