Dragging tabs causes blue overlay!

Post by gate1975mlm »

Hello :),

When you drag around tabs it creates like a blue overlay.

Can you fix this so when dragging tabs you do not see this strange blue overlay?

I think it would look better without it :wink:

Also when you drag the order of a tab it should stay on the same tab you are dragging instead of switching to the other one next to it.

Can you fix this also?

These are just 2 little changes that would make more sense in my opinion.

Hi gate1975mlm,

Thanks for the post and suggestions - please make sure that you have the latest build of the Editor, as I am not having the same issue when re-ordering tabs:

As for the other suggestion, I've put in a request for this, but I obviously can't make any guarantees.

Hope that helps :)

Removed link to pre-release - this should not have been offered for general public download ...

I stress that this is a pre-release, intended for testing purposes, so there are certain bugs in it that we know of and should be fixed for the final release of build 301, later today (1pm Pacific Time, approx.). Alternately, you could, of course, wait for the final release of build 301 and try then from here:

Keep me posted!

Just did a test for the above problem with the 301 pre-release and the strange blue overlay is still there...

Hi Willy Van Nuffel,

The pre-release suggestion wasn't to solve the blue overlay, as the overlay was placed into the Editor intentionally. It should disappear one the tab is released.

Hope that helps!

Ok the dragging issue where it "switches" to the tab next to it is fixed in build 301.

Also are there any plans to remove the blue overlay in a future build? I just find the blue overlay to be ugly and not really needed in my opinion.

I would much rather have the tab switching to work like it does in browsers like IE10 and Firefox :)
