gui: "Go to position" bug

Open gudeh opened this issue 2 months ago • 3 comments

Describe the bug

If I load a design in OpenROAD tool, go to "View", and "Go to position" (or use Shift+G), when trying to modify the X or Y values it does not work, I start typing but the cursor is removed from the typing filed while typing. I can't even use backspace to remove the existing values in X and Y.

It works fine if I first modify the "Size", than I can modify the X and Y and it zooms in properly.

On this video I noticed delete or backspace both do not work, I am not able to remove the last number (I am consistently pressing backspace in the video, but the last digit is not erased). If I select the whole text I am able to replace the existing value (but only after changing "Size" value).

Be able to freely modify X and Y in "Go to position"

Despite being simple in concept it has never worked that well.

The same in KLayout is much better and we should try to do something similar.
