TA139 rabbit mode coordinate display

[tonyforster]

Rabbit mode does not update the coordinate display, which is probably a good thing. Coordinates should be blanked in the view toolbar in rabbit mode.

I experimented with updating during program execution, and, as you predict, it was very slow. However, I think it should update once the program has run to completion or is stopped by the user or an error. I thought that is how I had it currently set up. Is is not working?

[tonyforster]

Yes, I expect that is what is happening, but during execution the displayed values are wrong.

[walter]

So your proposal would be to blank out the display until there are valid numbers to display. Makes sense to me.

Replying to walter:

yes

"I think it should update once the program has run to completion or is stopped by the user"

I checked, it doesn't update on completion or stop.

Please try [1] to see if it results in the desired behavior.

No, at end of the stack, the blocks are not unhidden nor coordinates displayed
for stop or error blocks are unhidden and coordinates displayed

[walter]

end of stack does not unhide blocks or display coordinates

That is by design, because you may want to look at the results without
the blocks in the way. There is a Show Blocks icon that replaces the
Stop button that should make the blocks reappear. (Will have to check
to make sure it also updates the coordinate display.)

error or stop does unhide blocks and display coordinate

Really? That is a bug. Will investigate further.

[tonyforster]

all fixed, working as designed, just misunderstood communications
end of stack, blocks are hidden
manual stop or error, blocks are displayed
