| Summary | 0010255: groups involved in temporary "select-copy-paste" maneuver erroneously super-grouped | ||||
| Description | At times, after temporarily selecting objects which are themselves groups, for cloning for another instance in "copy-paste," the association (NOT "grouping") turns out not to have been temporary but acts partially as a super-group object. Later on, upon selecting just one such involved first-level object, others that were "select-copy-pasted" appear in an unintended GROUP. It's as if Bug 0010183 were incompletely implemented--not cleaning up the supposed temporary grouping for re-instancing the selection, which was never declared a "group" by user. Some groups have been dissociated, others not. Attempting recovery by "ungroup" operation on the wrongly grouped objects is seldom successful. Rather, it destroys the grouped nature of the several objects involved in the select-copy-paste maneuver. Big time-waster when it happens. Happens so seldom I cannot characterize what is special about the instances that get into trouble. Seemed to have been fixed at 1.4.0_rc4, but popped up again, and persists in rc5. Looks like incomplete understanding of the object grouping database, or vague design of its methods. How about a separate database for "select-copy-paste," absolutely apart from intentional grouping? Blow away the db completely upon each multi-object selection, for a clean start and clean exit? David Zethmayr david.zeth@slantnote.com | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Group several objects. Form several such groups. Select them together. Copy. Paste. Cancel selection. Go on to other things for awhile. Select just one of the original groups or a clone of such. Do this dozens of times. Note sometimes that the singly selected, supposedly autonomous, object (a group) is now associated with another in a "group" that was not intended. Try "ungrouping." Fail to dissociate the one-time selection, but note that the object itself has been ungrouped. | ||||
| Additional Information | I could send a file containing an instance, with a rather labored description of what to look for. I am preparing sheet music, with hundreds of notes per page. | ||||

The 'notes' on the lower half of page 1 are from a select operation on just the first of the three lines on the upper half-page. Note that the ligatures ('ties'; 'slurs') also present on the lower half were not in the selection rectangle, but nevertheless appeared highlighted (see their originals in the second and third lines in upper half-page) along with the intended selection. That is, the lower half of the page was unpopulated with notes before the copy-paste. All ligatures on the page, regardless of present size, are copy-paste descendents of a single object from a library of furniture (separate file), added after the ligand notes are in place. DZ |
