Title: Butterfly Style Number Error
Post by: zoobmarine on November 07, 2015, 09:55:32 PM

Found a strange thing, hope someone can replicate it, this is on version 4.2.20 for mac,

I have a Butterfly Effect, Using Rainbow, if you slide the style scroll bar, it goes properly from 1 to 10,
But if you double click the current number and start sliding, from 10 to 1, and then to 10, it will only show, 8, do it again, and will go to 3 again,

Effects works properly, but seems that the textbox doesn't updates the value, when it is clicked and it has the focus.

Clicking in boxes for some effects has been a problem for a long time.  Best practice seems to be DO NOT CLICK IN BOXES.  LOL

You can click in the box if you want to type a value.  Why are you trying to select the text box when you are wanting to use the slider?  I can tell you we save a ton of code by using a common event handler for all sliders that are linked to textboxes.  I don't think we will change how it behaves so you should change how you use it.
