Hi All,

I've come across what I think is a bug in widget_table using /disjoint selection. It can be demonstrated using the example code provided with IDL - just execute table_widget_example1.

My experimenting shows that it works as expected on Mac OS X, but on Windows 7 when disjoint selection mode is turned on, control-clicking does not allow additional selections to be made (which is the whole point). I tested on Windows 7 running as a VM - It would be great if someone could test on other versions of Windows to confirm this is not a VM or Windows-7 specific issue.

Also, as we all know, widget_table is awful. Has anyone got an alternative working?

cheers,

Will.

Hi Will,

With IDL 8.5.1 on Windows 10, it seems to work exactly as advertised, both from the Workbench and from a .sav file under IDL VM.

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.14393]

IDL> !version
{
"ARCH": "x86_64",
"OS": "Win32",
"OS_FAMILY": "Windows",
"OS_NAME": "Microsoft Windows",
"RELEASE": "8.5.1",
"BUILD_DATE": "Nov 14 2015",
"MEMORY_BITS": 64,
"FILE_OFFSET_BITS": 64
}

Cheers,
-Dick

It also works for me, in IDL 8.5.1, both under Windows 10 and Linux (natively and running in a VirtualBox VM in Windows).

Disjoint selection works for me as well, on Windows 7, IDL 8.5.1.

Thanks for your help, everyone. Problem was on this side of the keyboard - I had my VM configured so that control-click was not working as expected.

cheers,

Will

Ah, I see you were referring to a Windows VM, not the IDL VM.

I will add that my test of IDL VM was indeed running under a Windows VM (Parallels Desktop for Mac), where I have only recently (with PD version 12) had troubles with modifier keys, requiring Actions:Configure:Mouse and Keyboard:Optimize for Games to be set).

Cheers,
-Dick
