If I use the maths filter to select modules. I have a white square in the top corner of the modules which is obscuring one of the components (the area add component). If I resize the column displaying the components then they all become visible, but as soon as I set its width back to its original size the area add disappears again.
Also if I drag the float subtract component onto the schematic it leaves a trial of white over the screen. When placed a white rectangle appears obscuring the schematic. The size of this rectangle is determined by the position of the float subtract component (the top left corner of the rectangle is the top left of the schematic & the bottom left corner is wherever the component is placed), this remains as long as I keep the float subtract component in my schematic. If I delete the component then the schematic redrwas itself fine. This bug remains even if I restart SM and load the schematic back in again.
If it helps I can provide screen grabs & the .osm file

No need for screen grabs in this case. This is a problem we've seen before but it's been intermittent. It's a really odd one actually and it is extremely hard to find.
It does seem to be happening to more people now so I'm trying to work out what on earth it is.
One thing that makes it difficult is that it shows up in different places for different people, but for each person it's consitently in the same place.
I'll get there with this one, please bear with me though.
Thanks.

Hi, I get a similar errors. I was going to add some extra filters to the example synth and went to resize when editing the panel and got an error where it copied the view aload of times and kept the resize open not droping when i released the mouse as normal

Actually galaa, can I change my mind on the screen grab please? 🙂
I'd like to see what it looks like after you've dropped the component. Can you tell me whether you get the rectangle only when the component is selected?
Thanks.

Hi Tom7777,
I think yours is a different problem. I think it happens when resizing beyond the extent of the schematic window. The resize operation gets stuck. This is on the list.
Thanks.

Here you go malc
The problem occurs whether the float subtract component is selected or not

Another weird thing that may or may not be related.
I've just opened SM & had the list of components to choose from set to be 4 components wide from a previous session. When SM loaded up again this time there was a white rectangle over the majority of the components. if I resized to be 3 components wide all was good. But, if I went back to 4 wide the problem occured again

Hi galaa,
This is because the rectangle appears to be coming from the top-left corner of the float subtract component. If your window/toolbox configuration is such that this component appears to the top-left of the page, fewer components get obscured.
We're still looking into this. I'm hoping we can crack it soon.
Malc.

Finally, after hours of wrestling with it the white rectangle problem is no more. Thanks to everyone that helped with this.
Malc.
PS new release with most recent fixes should be ready later today

Fantastic, my life is no longer blighted by that pesky white rectangle.
Cheers malc & jorge
