Greyed Menu Items
-
I started trying last VS version, and regularly the menus are completely greyed, while the tools continue to work. I must then restart VS. Mac Mini under macOS 14.7.4. Does anyone have this problem?
-
@fdarnel Can you send a screenshot when this happens.
On MacOS, the menu is accessible when a modal view is opened (a view that does not allow actions in the background on the document). But in this case yes, all menus are grayed while the view is open.
The same applies while alert views are open.
-
No other windows opened. For the moment, it does not happen anymore ...
-
@fdarnel If you seen this again, please make a recording.
-
Here it is. I just tried cmd-&(1) for Actual size (which by th way doesn't work on my Mac Mini, french keyboard).
-
@fdarnel I can confirm the cmd+1 issue with french keyboard. But I could not replicate the menu graying.
Could be some kind of workspace/settings issue.One thing to try is to send me the workspace and settings files by email to csraba at vectorstyler.com
These can be found in the user folder: Help -> Reveal Workspace Folder
-
Yes, but Help menu is greyed
May I restart VS before ?

May I restart VS before ?Yes, you can restart VS (workspace is saved).
The whole thing looks like some view is opened. What happens if you press ESC with the greyed menus?
-
I tried, nothing. I don't see any over view opened.
-
What folder to send, just resources?
-
@fdarnel just resources
-
@fdarnel I could not replicate the greying issue (tried on a macOS 14.6 also with French keyboard mode).
I will keep this issue open and test more.
Does the graying of the menu goes away if you press the Esc key?
-
No, it doesn't, I have to restart VS.
-
@fdarnel I will try to figure out the root cause for this.
-
@fdarnel About the cmd+1: a workaround for now is to customize the shortcuts, and reassign manually this shortcut.
I'm curious, if you reassign the shortcut for cmd+1 (so that it works as zoom 1:1) will that gray the menus.

Where to customize the shortcuts?
-
@fdarnel Application Menu -> Keyboard Shortcuts
-
Well, I changed for Command-& in the setting, it works, but is now referenced as Command-7 in the View menu.

I will try to sort this out. The cmd+1 in the French layout is the cmd+ampersand, which is cmd+7.
I will try to sort these things out. BTW: there is also a UI translation planned before 1.3
-
OK, at least it works. If you need some help for translation.

I will notify later on this for beta testing.
