escape stops search process in another instance of tc

[seb]

im using multiple instances of tc, currently 7

in instance 7 there is this search running for quite a while, for some [x]'text' AND(!) [x]'including archives'!

im working in instance 6 and changed into a dir, which is full of files
tc is reading this dir but i want to stop it from refreshing the dir contents and so i press ESC to do that

if i only use either search archives or search for text, everything is fine

as soon as im searching for both, the ESC-press is passed between the instances as pressing ESC in instance 6 stops my search in instance 7 ....

i have this persisting problem for many releases of TC now
im actually using 7rc4 and its still there
perhaps i should have reported it earlier

Well, I didnt open 7 instances of TC, but only 2, nevertheless, I cannot confirm this behaviour.
Do you have any helper applications installed that might catch keys as hotkeys? AutoHotkey is a good example for this.

the mostly used packer plugin here is dircbm from loo
besides that i dont change any deep setting or add any software to the standard install ...

ok i tested on another laptop

clean 6.52 install was there => no problems

i installed 7rc4 => no problems

i installed packerplugin dircbm
i was not searching in filetypes from this plugin, the file which was interrupted was the big hvsc.zip ...
=> problems as described in the first post
my conclusion -> not this speficically plugin

afterwards i renamed the plugin, so tc cannot find/start it anymore
i was not searching in filetypes from this plugin, the file which was interrupted was the big hvsc.zip ...
=> problems as described in the first post
my conclusion -> not this speficically plugin verified!

from my knowledge of writing tc-packer-plugins, it shouldnt be this specific plugin
the plugin itself is running pretty well and never caused any problems, lets hope this isnt one
anyway, no matter how bad this is coded, the described behaviour shouldnt happen and my assumption: it is TCs fault

I could confirm it now in the internal ZIP, ARJ, LZH etc. unpackers, but NOT in the plugin interface. If it happens to you only with plugins, then it must be a problem with that specific plugin. I will of course correct the problem with the internal unpackers.

that sounds like the solution, since i said, it raises during searching in the big hvsc.zip

anyway, are the plugins sending keystrokes to TC? if not that couldnt be the problem, so consider it fixed for now

[ghisler(Author)]

Should be fixed in RC5, please test!

[ghisler(Author)]

This should be fixed in TC7 final - please check!

Can anyone still reproduce this error? If not, I will move this thread to fixed bugs.

The fix was confirmed in the private beta forum, so I'm moving this thread to the fixed bugs forum.
