UI Disappears on Save As

[acap]

Summary

In Base, parts of the UI disappear under certain circumstances when doing a Save As on a database.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new database (embedded HSQLDB)
2. Go to the Tables tab
3. Put the cursor focus in the Tables pane by clicking somewhere in it. You should see a dotted outline indicating a selection where a table would be. You can do this when you have a table, but it also happens without any.
4. Save As…

What Happens

• All Tasks buttons disappear
• Tables disappear

Expected Behavior

• UI remains unchanged on Save As

Workaround

• Go to a different tab, e.g. “Queries”, and come back to Tables
• Buttons and Tables reappear

or

• Ensure Tables pane is not focused by clicking one of the Tab buttons instead before doing Save As

Notes

Sometimes, this also seems to reset any formatting I’ve applied to a Table field, but I can’t currently reproduce that behavior.

If you press “Save as” the connection to the old Base file should be closed and to the new file should be opened. But seems it couldn’t refresh.

When I press “Save As” in Base I close the file after this action and open it again.

@fpy Wouldn’t this not apply, since I have “UI render: Skia/Metal”? Unless I’m misreading the section of the wiki you sent.

@RobertG I’ll try that, or perhaps closing first, then duplicating & renaming the file before opening the newly duplicated file.
