Solved [TC 10.52rc1] Double-clicking cm_exit 1 at the command line does not work

[Elwin_Ransom]

Steps to reproduce:

1) Place the cursor on the command line, type cm_exit 1.
2) Double click on cm_exit 1.
3) Expected: command execution, program restart.
4) Instead: nothing happens, but if you now close TC with the red Close button in the corner of the window, the program will restart.

The command line is a text field. Double-clicking on text within that field is supposed to select that word that's been clicked on. At least that's what I expect. Why do you expect TC to execute that command? Is it just to confirm the command? If so, just press Enter (it's a command line, so I don't think it's that far fetched).

Why do you expect TC to execute that command?

Because it works that way.

Issue confirmed.
And when I type dir and hold Shift and double-click, a command prompt is opened on top of TC, but TC is active. So if I press Alt+F4 then TC is closed.

OK, it seems you're right. Well, I didn't expect this behavior at all. And honestly, I don't see a reason to use the mouse to confirm a command.

Anyway, bug confirmed. cm_Exit alone (without parameter) is the same.

This can be useful when you use copy/paste. You hold the mouse with your first hand, Ctrl+C some command in the text, move the cursor to the command line, Ctrl+V, double-click.

These commands also don't wörk with double-click in the command-line:

Code: Select all

cm_Minimize
cm_Maximize
cm_Restore

and of course these - but that's to be expected:

Code: Select all

cm_ClearCmdLine
cm_NextCommand
cm_PrevCommand

Sorry, there are no plans to support this.

Sorry, there are no plans to support this.

So only the weirder case of restarting TC by clicking the close button is supported?

[ghisler(Author)]

TC posts a message WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_CLOSE to itself in both cases, but the message never arrives when using the double click. I could not find any reason for this to happen, so it will not be supported, sorry.

[white]

But can the command be disabled (do nothing) when people use double-click?

[ghisler(Author)]

I found a solution: it seems to work when I call "Close" instead of posting WM_SYSCOMMAND, SC_CLOSE. I hope that this doesn't have any negative side effects. I will not change the other system commands for now.

10.10.22 Fixed: CM_EXIT didn't work when starting command line via double click instead of Enter (32/64)

Confirmed fixed in TC 10.52rc2

Confirmed fixed in TC 10.62rc2

If you mean 10.52rc2 then confirmed

[Elwin_Ransom]

Everything is fine now. Thanks for the fix.
