Possible bug in publisher?

Anonymous — Fri, 26 May 2023 12:52:18 GMT

Hi!

Never thought about this before, but now I got this problem more often. For example, I use publish and push publishbutton. Then I got a window that tells me what the computer is working with.
But, often when it's finished, this window goes behind publisherwindow, and I can't push [ok] button on "working with" window. Because of that, I can't use my ArchiCad and have to use ctrl+alt+delete. Happens in both AC10 and AC11, anyone else that got this problem?

Have you tried ctrl+tab to cycle the active window?

ctrl+tab doesn't help me get the hide window to show up, and no, I can only see head-window(GraphiSoft ArchiCad) in statusbar in windows, not popups in ArchiCad.

Can you minimise or move what is in front of the "working with" window?
A screen shot would explain a lot as well if you can show one.

No, it's the Publish window that goes ontop and cover "working with" window. And this window is totally locked out like all the rest in ArchiCad when "working with" window is on.
I can walk in the normal Menu but nothing happens when I'm click at something.

Next time it happens I will test alot before I push ctrl+alt+del. It could maybe have something todo with some driver at this computer, or with some bug in latest update of Windows XP.

If I understand you correctly, I have had something similar happen to me when I have zoomed in to a large box of text so far that the borders of the text box are beyond my working window. When I double-click in the text box to edit the text, the text editor window is enormous and covers up everything. And since I can't click outside of the text box as it covers up all of archicad, I'm trapped forever in a frightening world of perpetual text editing! I managed to escape by pressing Ctrl+ENTER. That closes the pop-up window in Archicad, at least for the text editor.

You might try that and see if it works. If I recall, this was a way to close a dialog box before mouses became mainstream.

Thanks, I'll try that next time it appears. Why didn't I thought about ctrl+enter. Doh, windows+mouse get you dummier, give us keyboard-controlled OS back

Now I got this problem again,

I have my Organizer - Publisher window opened. My publish is done, but the window where I should press enter in has dissapear, I think it's behind the Organizer - Publiser window.

ctrl+enter doesn't help
alt+tab doesn't work either (it change software, not windows inside one software)
enter doesn't help

And this window where I should press enter in is an popupwindow which means in windowslanguage => The active software is locked until you have pressed the OK button.

BAD BAD BAD!!!

Ctrl + Tab is what cycles you through the various windows within AC. If you just want to close the current window, have you tried Ctrl + W ?

Hope this helps.

I could next time, but it's not that exciting. What you will se is my ArchiCad window and on top of that publisher window, nothing else.
