OpenCPN Version 5.1.518 Beta Test

Dave,

I will dig into the details. The call that causes the trouble is ::SetScrollInfo() for the horizontal scroll bar which isn’t actually needed. But this function is a long standing Windows function. It looks like this is some kind of bug in the Windows libraries.

Hi all
With Linux and a new local built of the current git master, I get something as a crash.
Context :
create a new chart group then add a chart repository inside, valid then exit O.
or delete an existing chart group, valid then exit O


If I run O inside my EDI ( QTCreator) I Get a crash in line 9144 option.cpp
If I run outside in the built installed, I don't get a "real" crash, but when I open O again, I get the message "The last opencpn run seems to have failed ......"
regards
JP

re: Improve responsiveness of quilt composition to MUIBar ChartScale dialog
Now the chart scale switch works fine also for big steps. Tested on Win10, RPi3 Stretch.

Thanks

For fun I tried:
m_scrollWinChartList->SetAutoLayout( false );
before starting the list population.
Result: No effect....


Still thinking....
If we come with no solution, we will need to revert to the checked list control. Not as pretty...

Dave,

Shall we take this discussion to github issues?

What is this yellow line? It goes to 0,0 on the chart to my position. However, it can be anywhere along the equator, not necessarily at 0º lattitude. It has appeared in every version of O I've run on every version of Mac OS on every Mac. This appeared this morning on O5.1.8b on Catalina I was running overnight.

SCarns..
re: yellow line.
The line is a track.
What you describe I've seen as well when I'd a GPS that failed and sometimes send a zero position or just a zero latitude.
OCPN was just showing what my GPS was reporting about positions.

So, I'd have checked a connected GPS.

Håkan..


had the same idea - but tracking is disabled on the screenshot.


I would like to see the outcomes with "tactics" disabled.

If/when there's another code release (& thread), could someone please post a link here, so we can all join the new thread? Thanks!

I've posted links to this thread on the 2 previous threads...

As has been said it looks like a track but you have tracking 'off' in the screen shot. Is it a track? Hover and right click, what do you get?

I have seen this from some GPS units that don't fail elegantly when they have an invalid position. It is only a momentary glitch and setting the NMEA update rate to say 2 seconds or greater will usually filter out the glitches.

"What is this yellow line?"
I got this issue on W7. I had to uninstall O5 and install it again to make disappear this yellow track.

You can always use the track and route manager to delete unwanted tracks and routes. It is not necessary to uninstall/reinstall to delete tracks. The tracks, routes and waypoints are stored in a file call navobj.xml.

[SCarns]

Definitely NOT a track, as I'm not tracking anything.

Because someone asked to turn off Dash_T, I did. Didn't remove the line. I turned off all my plugins and the line went away. Now to figure out which plugin is the offender. I have an idea, but will try on my other system at the boat to figure it out.

[transmitterdan]

Hover the cursor over the yellow line. Any popup? No, double click the line. Anything pop up telling what the line is?

[SCarns]

No. It's not a track.

I found the offending plugin. It's an issue with Watchdog, so I'll not take up any further space on here with it and will take it over to that forum for discussion.

Thanks! Now back to our regularly scheduled programming.
