Plugins switch blocked between htm plugins

[petermad]

How to reproduce:

1. Install these two plugins:
http://www.totalcmd.net/download.php?id=htmlview
http://www.totalcmd.net/download.php?id=ieview
and make HtmlView the first of the two.

2. Open an html document in Lister - it is shown with HtmlView, press 4 and it is shown in IeView - so far so good.

3. Press Esc or 1 to 7 - nothing happens - allready reported here: http://ghisler.ch/board/viewtopic.php?p=171509#171509

4. Close Lister and open a second instance of TC.

5. Open any html file in Lister in instance 2 of TC and close it again.

6. Open any html file in instance 1 of TC - it should be shown in HtlmView as in step 2.

7. Press 4 to switch to IeView - nothing happens!

8. Close instance 2 of TC, and press 4 in Lister (from instance 1) again - now Lister switches to IeView.

Somehow the two instances of TC are affecting each other,

These plugins are doing things not supported by the plugins API (probably subclassing the main window). This doesn't work any more because the Lister class was renamed to TW_Lister to make it Unicode. Now that all windows are Unicode on NT-based systems, I can rename it back. This seems to make these plugins work again!

Partly fixed in TC 7.50pb6

Esc and 1 to 7 now works in IEView, as long as only 1 instance of TC is running.

Thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately this is all I can do myself, we will have to hope for the plugin writers for further fixes. I will therefore move this to "behaviour which will not be changed" now.
