Bugs: When the Mouse Area window reaches all the way to the bottom, leaving no room for a boundary (& the module boundary is turned off), and you have the Properties turned on, you can not click on the (P) button, due to the Mouse Area eating the LMB clicks. edit: Also, if the boundary is off, seems redraws makes the (P) button disappear until you click on the (invisible) module boundary. The file in question is attached, edited from here.

Suggestion: If you have both Wireless Outs & Properties on, the wireless green icon gets moved to the upper-right corner. I would hope it just stays up there full time, so I don't have to hunt for it 😉. Maybe also rotate it -45 degrees to fit better.

cheers

Another issue with boarderless modules: If you move them from the toolbox onto your workspace, the title of the module disappears.

Thanks for posting that one. I noticed it for the first time when working on the same schematic - all the GUI options were originally to be properties, but I decided to put them on the main GUI when I found I couldn't open the panel. The main GUI options work so nicely, I must have convinced myself that I did it that way on purpose - and forgot all about the bug!

I always thought that was on purpose! Borderless modules are most useful for making things that look and behave like primitives - i.e. the GUI used identifies itself (e.g. add primitives are a circle with '+' in the middle). You then retain the option of adding a label to identify a particular instance (e.g. 'Calculates the Total'). The initial naming is then just used to help find it later in the toolbox, and so that the search feature is about 1% more likely to actually locate what you're really looking for!

Or maybe it's just a happy accident that I happen to be fond of a really nasty bug! 😉

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
