Release or development git branch? Please note the release version or commit hash:
2.13.0
Operating system and version (eg: Windows 10, OS X 10.9, OS X 10.11, Ubuntu 16.10):
macOS 10.15
Could you download a few older releases and tell the latest release which works for you?
using macOS 10.14 (Mojave), can confirm latest version has same issue. Latest version that doesnt have that issue is 2.16.1
.
EDIT: just reopened 2.16.2, the units are back? weird
magic. Unfortunately I need extra info to at least reliably reproduce the issue, so if you figure it out - please post.
Does pyfa cache images and stuff like that? cause thats the only reason i can think of: Pyfa first opens, doesnt load the units (forgets about them while getting images), and then remembers next time its opened? shrugs
I have no idea how it's handled, wxpython does that (the UI toolkit we are using).
Actually, i think it might be a regression introduced with upgrade from wxpython 4.0.6 to 4.0.7post2 (2.16.1 had 4.0.6).
While we can roll version back now, there is no guarantee it would help (original bug report mentions 2.13.0 which used wxpython 4.0.6), and giving up on future wxpython updates is a bad idea. So in any case I'd like to get some info first. Everyone who has this issue from time to time, post:
- Hardware platform you are using
- Mac OS version
- Screen resolution
- Anything related to manifestation of this issue you can come up with (when does it appear? When does it go away? Any relations to your previous actions maybe)
Then maybe we will figure something and make a bug report in wxpython repo
Heres my hardware+version
Screen resolution is 1440x900, and afaik it only shows up when pyfa is first opened after being downloaded
Another hardware platform with the same issue, as reported by Carloes: 13,3-inch 2018 mac (2560 x 1600 screen resolution)
