browse identifier bug

[ebalci]

Using CVI 8.5.1 on Win2K,

Assume you have a variable used in 3 different files of your project.

When you use the Browse Identifier tool for this variable for the first time after a successful debug build it displays the references in these 3 files correctly.

If you keep this window open in the workspace and continue editing your code and rebuild the project, you lose all references from the file that is actively displayed in the workspace.

If the Browse Identifier window is closed and re-opened by right-clicking on the variable and selecting Browse Identifier, than they are displayed correctly again.

Can you repeat this problem in your environment? If yes, what do you think ?

Hello Eren,

I tried to do this just now, and I was able to reproduce the problem you're describing. It seems to be that it's not so much the open window, but the last file that CVI compiles that seems to lose the references (most times those are one and the same, of course). To get them back, you don't have to close and reopen the window -- you just have to hit <Enter> on the Identifier control in the window.

I've created a bug report (#137735) for further investigation. Thanks for letting us know about this!
