Choice popups

• The Choice popup menu now supports more than 254 items (now any number).

• In long Choice popup menus, you can jump to an item by typing the first few characters of the item label.

• The Font selection popup now displays the font names using their own font. If for some reason you need to disable this, in typescript type: Sys_ShowFontsOnPopups:0.

• The font in a Choice button would shrink immediately following the selection from the popup.

• When you are edit mode, the choice control in an input node now pops up when you click it. It is no longer necessary to switch to browse mode or hold the ALT key down.

• Adjust to text didn't allow the choice control width to shrink, and in some cases didn't expand it enough.

• When the options on a Choice menu are handles, the display of the labels now toggles between title and identifier when you toggle Show by Identifier (Ctrl+Y).

• Choice popups now right-align numeric values.

• Added a «separator» parameter to function Choice, which provides a capability for including separators within your own choice lists. Some single-letter options used to also display as separators, but these were odd and it also made it impossible to have a character choice popup without separators.

• In one unusual situation, a choice input control displayed a SubTable button instead of a choice pulldown.

Influence Diagrams

• When dragging a node from the toolbar to the diagram, the node size of the ghost image did not correctly reflect the default node size of the diagram. Now as you drag it, its size will change as you drag it over different diagrams to reflect the default size in that diagram.

• The default node size in one diagram was not being inherited from its parent diagram in the case where it had not been explicitly set in the child diagram.

• With Resize Centered off and Snap to Grid on, resizing of a node would sometimes end up with a corner not on the grid.

• Double clicking on checkboxes in input nodes would cause the object window to pop up.

• When scrolling, the bottom border of nodes was sometimes not redrawn.

• A situation in which a very old (3.1) legacy model encountered an error while loading caused it to use Clear Type fonts when it should have used legacy fonts.

• When a definition was an empty list, [ ], with spaces between the brackets, the feature that allows you to draw an arrow from a variable to this list variable as a way of inserting the identifier in the definition didn't work.

• In an esoteric case where a node color was determined via module inheritance, its color in the ghost image seen while dragging was incorrect.

Graphing

• When an Enhanced Windows Metafile image of a manually-scaled graph is copy/pasted into Word, and the graph has data that is way out of the manual scale range, the rectangule for the graph pasted into Word is too big.

Publish to Cloud

• Subtle changes to make the Publish to Cloud... dialog more intuitive when you have multiple ACP accounts. You had to press OK at key times, with intuitive options disabled, and some information didn't display immediately.

• When a model is too big for ACP (over 35MB), the error message that the model is too big took a very long time to appear when using Publish to Cloud...

ADE

• The CATable returned by CAObject::DefTable was for the wrong slice when the object was defined as a SubTable.

• The graph rendered by ADE when axis labels are handles always displayed the identifier. It should display the title when CARenderingStyle::HandleFormat is set to title.

• Wrong result by CATable::SetDataByElements for a CATable obtained from CATable::Subscript.
