Perforce Tag Files Action: Change Number lost

Hi Support Team,

I discovered a bug in Action 'Perforce Tag Files'. Steps to reproduce:

- add a variable My_DisappearedFiles (integer)

- use Action 'Perforce Tag Files', goto tab 'Revision', check 'Change Number' and enter %My_DisappearedFiles% (in row 'Change Number')

- add a variable My_DisappearedFileNames (variant)

- re-enter the 'Perforce Tag Files' action and see what happened to the 'Change Number' specification - it has changed !

Best Regards

Michael

Hi Michael

I’m not able to reproduce this here. I check our version control and no changes have been made on this. Are you sure it’s not just that edit box is so short (I just changed that to make them longer)?

Hi Vincent,

thank you for your fast response and the new build 1475. I already installed it and recognized that you have made the Change Number field larger. That's better and thanks to this I see that I was wrong...

Please refer to the attached screenshots. That's what I saw before: the popup creates a wrong impression of the controls content ("My...Files") because the first matching item ("My...FileNames") is selected. Although I'm happy with build 1475 I think it is worth to consider a general solution for this issue; IMHO this effect will always be present in case the control is too small for the variable name.

Regardless of whether or not to consider a general solution: thank you for your fast support

Best regards

Michael
