Content of Report somehow "protected" after loading

[PJoyeux]

Hi,

using then newest build (2014.1.1806) when I load a report I can't change fonts or delete the controls placed on it. I have to uncheck/recheck some checkbox under "Design / Restrictions" and then I can alter the controls.

I have made a small video. I load a report and then you can see that the buttons on the formatting-toolbar are grayed out. Further the "Delete"-Menuitem on the context-menu is grayed out too. Then I go to "Design / Restrictions". There you can see that NO restriction is set. I then uncheck and recheck "Allow Delete" (so basically, i am NOT changing the setting...). After that the toolbar is enabled (not grayed out anymore) and the "Delete"-Menuitem is enabled too.

What could be the cause of this? Maybe that my MRT-File was created with 2013.3.1800?

Cheers,
Pascal

The problem is actually concerning the way the controls are selected in the designer. For example you can see in the attached video that the Format-Toolbar does not show the same Format-information as the properties-window.

The Properties-Window gets refreshed correctly (Font size, Font Name, styles, ...) but the toolbar does not reflect the settings of the highlighted control in the designer.

Further the highlighted sections in the rulers that show the extent of the selected control does not get refreshed when another control is clicked. After having selected the control the extent of the formerly selected control is still visible in the rulers. After slightly moving the mouse the rulers are refreshed and show the correct extent.

Both problems can be seen in the video attached... :-/ *sigh*

Hello.

We have reverted all last changes in Reports.Wpf which was causing strange bugs and made our product unstable.
Our next prerelease build will be more stable. It will be available on January 17.

Thank you.
