Windows 10 multi-desktop and completion

[expired user #9137]'s profile image [expired user #9137] posted 9 years ago in General Permalink
Hi,

I've got a weird behavior on Windows 10 when using completion and switching desktop.

Say I've got desktop 1 with HeidiSQL opened, I write an SQL query with help from completion. The completion panel hides automatically when it's not needed anymore.

If then I switch to desktop 2 (like with Ctrl+Win+Right) the HeidiSQL's completion panel appears now on desktop 2 above everything. (see attached screenshot)

I didn't find any other solution than closing HeidiSQL to make the panel disappear from other desktops.

When I switch back to the desktop where HeidiSQL is, same behavior applies until I give focus to HeidiSQL window.
It makes sometimes HeidiSQL crash, I'll update my post with crash report if it ever happens again.

Thanks

Hi,

I am seeing exactly the same problem with Windows 10 and multiple desktops.

I have the same issue here with my win 10 devices. It's a verry annoying issue when you work with multiple desktops.
[expired user #9342]'s profile image [expired user #9342] posted 8 years ago Permalink

just found a workaround:

press the windows-key to open your start menu just before you switch to another desktop with ctrl+win+left/right!

I confirm that, but you needs to do that each time you switch desktops.

[expired user #9457]'s profile image [expired user #9457] posted 8 years ago Permalink

This only works when you use the minimized start menu ( like the Windows 7 menu ). Its little more complex when you use the fullscreen start menu and than it only works with more than one monitor. Klick windows key -> switch to other desktop with STRG + WINDOWS + LEFT/RIGHT -> klick on the other monitor ( where the start menu wasn't opened ) on the desktop ( or something shown there ) ... When you Press the windows key again instead of klicking, you will be switched again to the previous desktop.

@ansgar Please fix this annoying issue.

Are you all on the latest build of HeidiSQL?

I'm asking because I updated the relevant SynEdit component recently, which is responsible for that completion proposal. If the bug still persists in the latest build then I'm a bit stuck, as SynEdit is not maintained by me. They are located at SourceForge and someone should file a bugreport there.

[expired user #9457]'s profile image [expired user #9457] posted 8 years ago Permalink

Thank you for your replay. I've installed a few minutes ago the newest version ( 9.3.0.5045 ) and still having there the same issue :( I will check if i can find out something to fix this issue. I like to use heidi with the multi desktop support of windows 10 ^^

[expired user #9457]'s profile image [expired user #9457] posted 8 years ago Permalink

Maybe you can try https://github.com/TurboPack/SynEdit ... The SourceForge project isn't supported since 2013 :-/ Maybe this will work?

I see there are several forks of SynEdit, of which TurboPack SynEdit is only one of some. Others are searching for the latest clone as well: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4505588/what-is-the-latest-synedit-version-or-clone

I just found Mystix but that seems to be outdated too.

So trying TurboPack looks like a good idea. But I highly guess that TurboPack also does not fix the multi-monitor issue.

[expired user #9457]'s profile image [expired user #9457] posted 8 years ago Permalink

Never programmed delphi so far, but feel free to send me a testversion via mail when it's possible to integrate the TurboPack version in an acceptable timeframe.

Tested a bit around. Only the Popup window of the Autocompleter cause this issue. When you minimize HeidiSQL actively ( with using _ Button ) after using the autocompleter, the error won't occur until heidisql was maximized again.

Switching Desktops with Windows + Tab (uncommon way, because STRG + WINDOWS + ARROW is faster ) also works without any issue.

Switch Desktop (Autocomplete prompt is there), reswitch to previous desktop with HeidiSQL, minimizing HeidiSQL, switch back to the other desktop ( prompt still there ), click into prompt, press esc cause an EInvalidOperation exception. ( see both attached screenshots and the bugreport )

Was also able to cause another EInvalidOperation exception with more entries in call stack. ( see bugreport_2.txt )

The Text Editor prompt ( seems to be SynEdit too? ) disappears without any issues and isn't visible on the other Desktop. Also the prompt for editing ENUM and SET Fields.

Only the Autocompleter cause the mentioned issues.

It's fixed in latest nightly builds?

PS Sorry for bad English.

Not that I knew of.

[expired user #7963]'s profile image [expired user #7963] posted 8 years ago Permalink

Same problem (HeidiSQL 9.3.0.5052)

webdbase's profile image webdbase posted 8 years ago Permalink

Still nothing? Please do something.

[expired user #9770]'s profile image [expired user #9770] posted 8 years ago Permalink

Add me to the list, makes it very frustrating to use Heidi.

ansgar's profile image ansgar posted 8 years ago Permalink

I just merged latest changes from the SynEdit project into HeidiSQL's source. And I see there were some changes in the completion popup, wrt to the window behaviour. So, there is a slight chance that this is fixed now. Please update your HeidiSQL to the latest build so you can check that. I have no Win10 here around.

[expired user #9770]'s profile image [expired user #9770] posted 8 years ago Permalink

Thanks!

I updated and so far no issues, but the original pop up was relatively sporadic.

[expired user #9457]'s profile image [expired user #9457] posted 8 years ago Permalink

Thanks a lot! It works for me. Donated directly some Money :)

Thanks! It's gone for now! I hope I won't see it again. Now everything is perfect!
