Multiple docs open
Posted: Fri Nov 14, 2008 10:53 am
Hello,
I've come across an annoying change in behaviour when having opened more documents (and tabs) in Oxygen Editor than the width of the editor window will allow, starting from version 10.
Let's say that I want to apply a transformation scenario on a dozen or so XML documents, one by one and checking the result in the editor for each one, starting with the rightmost tab. (I've opened the dozen XML docs by marking them in an explorer window and then right-clicking Open.)
When I apply the scenario, it opens the result document to the right of the starting document. I click on that tab and check the result, and then close the document. Earlier (v9) the focus moved back to the previous document (the one I started out from) which was very handy because I could then close it and the focus would movee to the nearest tab to the left.
Now it moves instead to the rightmost *visible* document tab, that is, the last tab visible the right in the editor window without having to scroll further to the right. I have to move focus back to the document I started out from, in order to close it.
This is extremely annoying if I have a stylesheet I need to apply to multiple documents, checking the results and closing the result and then the original, and moving to the next document in queue.
I hope i have managed to explain the problem sufficiently.
Is there something I have missed, or is this a bug?
Best regards,
Ari Nordström
