Known Issues

  • Backup:
    • Loading data that is related to operating system may revert to default or be ignored as paths could not exist or may be in wrong format
  • Command input
    • Spell checking will not check for errors until a space or newline is entered, or when the command box is refocused, you may right click any word at any point to get a forced list of suggested corrections.
    • Text selection may be lost when other controls are given focus
  • Immortal tools
    • Dragging multiple files and dropping outside to other applications will only drop the first file, all others ignored. This is a limitation of electron drag and drop support, until it is added it can not be supported outside of application
  • Advanced editor
    • Paste may lose some colors/background colors on pasted, this is a bug in TinyMCE editor
    • When apply styles to all text some styles may get stuck
    • Some styles will not flash when flashing is enabled depending on order of styles applied
    • Reverse style has weird results with heavy nesting of reverse tags and colors, suggest to just use normal background colors.
    • Correction from context menu may remove applied styles depending on if they are just that word
  • General slow performance, do not use --disable-gpu it can impact overall performance
  • Mapper
  • Code editor
