I'd like to offer some additional oddities involving the PSD, for consideration. This was all observed playing around today in nomad 2.5 on my PC.
- When the currently-selected cue is in list 2 or higher, and you click inside a PSD for cue list 1 to select something, only the cue number is parsed. For example, cue 3/2 is shown on the command line, and you click in the PSD to select cue 1/10. Cue 3/10 is selected instead. This does not happen when clicking items in higher cue lists, just cue list one.
The rest are non-intuitive and/or buggy behaviors that I encountered with the PSD display in split mode (showing two cue lists).
- There appears to be no way to scroll the bottom cue list apart from changing the selected cue within that list. In addition to always allowing mouse hover to determine what gets scrolled, as has been discussed in other threads, vertical and horizontal scroll bars would be helpful here.
For that matter, all spreadsheet and multiple-column displays throughout the GUI would benefit from having on-screen vertical and horizontal scroll bars, and if mouse wheel click toggled a windows-standard 2D scrolling mode.
- There is no easy way to change which list is shown in the bottom of a split PSD without locking it, or locking the top list so the bottom list follows cue selection. I don't think this is a terribly important issue actually, but in exploring it, I found much more significant buggy behavior with the PSD settings "Target Grid" and "Lock Status" pulldown menus:
- When one list is locked, and the other list is unlocked, the "Lock Status" menu selection for the unlocked grid is populated with the list number of the locked one. This can lead to a forced change to the list displayed on the bottom.
It's a little tricky to invoke this bug so here's a procedure:
1) Open a new PSD window and set it to split format. For this example, let's say list one is on top and list two is on the bottom, both initially unlocked by default.
2) Open the PSD settings menu from the tab and lock the top grid to cue list 1.
3) Change the Target Grid pulldown to "Bottom". Lock Status shows as "List 1" even though the bottom is unlocked, and displaying cue list 2.
4) If you click away from the menu popups to close them, then open the menus again, "List 1" is still populated for "Bottom" (this step is not necessary for 5 and 6).
5) Change the bottom grid's lock status to Unlocked (not actually changing the status since it was already unlocked), and click away from the menus to close them.
6) When you open the menus again, the setting for the top grid is immediately applied to the bottom, changing the bottom grid from list 2 and locking it to list 1.
The bug occurs regardless of which cue lists are involved, and most of the same behavior applies with the bottom list locked and the top list unlocked, except the forced change described in step 6.
