Are you all using WinBox under Wine too? Mention the OS for WinBox bugs please.
I already mentioned that I am using Linux+wine but that others confirm the same problem occurs with Windows.
Please let the other three that mentioned the bug reply.
Win 7, Win10, KDE Neon (Wine)
Mikrotik employees use Winbox from their MacBooks using Wine.
@pe1chi - Unable to duplicate on either Windows 7 or Windows 10.
I think the bug described by pe1ch is dependent on large updates in the GUI. I cannot replicate the issue either but I use fasttrack meaning GUI does not update that much. However if I do a large address list import I can sort of experience the issue but not with the same outcome.
Amazing update!!! Thank you very much
Almost. When windows are closed by Session > Close all windows the Windows menu looks like this:
Do you have a large screen? I am trying to setup an access to our router for MikroTik so they can try to reproduce it (although I really cannot believe the setup has anything to do with this, they keep insisting on it), but when I created a VPN and installed winbox 3.29 on a 1920x1080 laptop I cannot reproduce it there.
But on my 2560x1440 desktop system it immediately fails… completely unworkable on some screens.
All of them run Debian 10, with wine.
I’m really trying to find what is the way to reproduce it, as I really want to update winbox for the new features in this version (which I also have requested) and I also require it for testing 7.1rc1.
But tweaking column widths in this version is almost impossible for me, and modifying firewall rules is outright dangerous!
I would already be happy when the whole updating pauses during mouse-down, I do not need to see the counters and uptimes updated while I move things around.
In the Log window, the column width of the “Message” column is some arbitrary small value, and it is not saved in the session either.
Everytime I open the Log window (or when it is re-opened as part of a saved session on winbox startup) I need to resize the Message column to extend to the right of the window.
I think either the column width should be saved (as it is for all other windows) or better: the Message column should automatically be sized to use the remaining space in the Log window.
(I usually have a Log window full-sized as backdrop for all my work in winbox, so the window is quite large but half of it is not used unless I extend the Message column)
This is a great update! Being able to re-organise columns and the new column selector is a godsend! Along with the windows option for those busy busy troubleshooting sessions.
I have asked this before, and had it previously working - but is it possible in the main winbox view to have ‘show categories’ use the WHOLE field its sorted by rather than just first character? Specifically on the GROUP field for me - so I can have Client 1, Client 2, Client 3 groups all separate and not just all grouped together under ‘C’
(I kind of get around this using numbers but it is cumbersome sometimes)
I just tried it on my laptop (FHD/1080p) and I cannot reproduce it.
On my desktop (QHD/1440p) the bug manifests itself every time.
On the desktop I use 6 monitors, if that plays any role.
So it seems it’s resolution dependent. Good catch!
My desktop system has 2 monitors, a 2560x1400 where I am working and a 1920x1080 which in fact is my TV.
But at work I have only a single 1600x1200 monitor connected on the system which exhibits this behavior.
It is an Xtightvnc X server, that is different from what I have at home (where it is a normal server directly driving the videocard).
I will try some experiments later today to see if I can find what is the difference that triggers it…
Still transparent Menus, if filtering is enabled and you scroll, as reporter here.
On Windows 10 with DPI at 125% Winbox taskbar icon is blurred. This do not occur on version <=3.28.
Previously, when running Torch and double-clicking a line in the results, Torch was stopped and IP address under mouse cursor copied to corresponding field (src. or dst. address) where it was easily accessible. Now I can’t repeat that. Is it WinBox 3.29 or my MacOS?..
Never knew about that capability in Torch. However just tried that in 3.29 on a Windows 10 PC, and it did not work.
W.r.t. the “mouse dragging problem”, I now have found that I can only reproduce it with an existing session file (.viw file) that exhibits the problem.
When I temporarily move that session file and start a session, then scale and position things the same as in the original setting, set the same filter, etc, it cannot be reproduced.
So that sort of confirms that it is either some setting in winbox that I previously made and did not make in the new session, or it is something in the session file that maybe got in there in an older version of winbox and not in the current one.
I have the issue on two different systems that do not share session files, and that connect to two different sets of routers.
Of course it would be no fun to start from scratch, setup all those things in the sessions, and then after a lot of work accidentally hit something that makes it come back again.
Oskars asked if I use “show categories” and while I sometimes use that, it is not enabled in the windows that exhibit the problem (like IP->firewall->filter), but it is in others like IP->firewall->address list. Toggling it on or off in a session that exhibits the problem does not make it change.
Send the problematic session file to MikroTik? maybe they can analyze it for whatever causes this? (and reproduce the issue on their end with your session file) ?
Just a thought.
