Object/Files browser doesn't slide away all the time

[spasblitz]

Hello,

I love the new sliding browser windows, however more times than not it will not "slide back" after opening a file or object. I am either forced to pin it or close it and re-open since it is covering my workspace. Here is my support info:

thanks in advance !!

Is this reproducible? If so, do you know the exact steps?

Marco, thanks for the reply !! Here are the steps.
Steps to reproduce Object/File browser not sliding back problem.

1. Setup your layout to have file and object browser stationed on the left side of your window, not pinned.
2. Save layout, exit window.
3. Open plsqldev, Login to db

[Qiang]

i have the same problem on Version 8.0.0.1494 but i can not reproduce it
however i have noticed that if i make refresh on file/object tree - it starts working again

 

[Marco Kalter]

We are still looking for a solution for this one.

 

[Qiang]

i still have this problem on 8.0.1

 

[Marco Kalter]

This has indeed not yet been resolved.

My experience so far with 8.0.1.1502 has not generated this issue. Was a fix included in this version for this problem?

 

[Marco Kalter]

Yes, 8.0.1.1502 fixed this issue.

 

[Robertas]

It is not completely resolved 8.0.4.1514:
Example to reproduce:
1) open package body tree node of object browser
2) right click on package body of your choice
3) select edit/view/view Spec & Body and move the mouse of the slide bar while window of package edit is opening
In result the slide bar does not slide back
But if you move mouse back on the slide bar and off it - slide bar slides back

I hate reviving 3 year old threads, but this is also still an issue in 9.0.6. I can work around it - it's an annoyance, not a functional app breaker - but frustrating nonetheless.

It seems like many of the issues I come here to find an answer for end exactly like this one... "yes it was fixed" and it wasn't, or "we're looking at adding/fixing this", and three years later it's still not fixed or added.

Don't forget the "I added it to the list" answer.
