Grid Numbering issue

Technical Support & Bugs
1

Hi,

After saving the Fighting wings module to 3.2 format, I get a window with a white background when I try to edit Grid numbers.

I have an old version of Air Force that has not been converted that allows editing. Once in a great while, if I create a new map, the dialog will show up, but is lost as soon as I attempt to go back into it.

Is this my error, or the Module editing ?

I apologize but I do not have a log file in the Vassal folder to send you.

I wasn’t able to replicate that with the current dev version of VASSAL
in a few minutes of trying, and nothing’s changed since 3.2.15 which
should affect the grid numbering dialog.

Where can I get the module you’re starting from?

My email address is linked from the little envelope in my profile in the
sidebar. Or, if it’s something you can post publicly, attach it to a
post in the forum.

Neither the forum or the private email will let me upload the module as the file is too large.

The vmod is 8264 kB.

I’ll figure something else out if it isn’t an issue with the current version.

Thanks for your time.

Can’t you upload it somewhere else? Do you have any web space, or a
dropbox account?

I’ve tried adding a board with a hex grid and grid numbering to the module you provided, but can’t replicate the problem? What are the exact steps I need to take to trigger it?

On my computer,

edit the module;

Expand Maps;
Expand Map boards;
Expand Sky;
Expand Hex Grid;
Double click Grid Numbering;

Empty dialog appears.

If that isn’t happening to you-- Should I uninstall and reinstall the Program?

Thanks for looking into it.

Did you try resizing the Empty Dialog window?

Thanks Tim,

That repainted the dialog screen.

Is that a Java thing? I notice some of the Java programming I play with won’t repaint without a trigger

Could be - it’s a bug that seems to happen with only a few of the dialog
screens in vassal. The Grid Numbering Dialog and one of the trait dialog
window’s are consistent with it occurring.
