Bug? Issues with DYNMODE, SYSVARMONITOR, and dragging PDFS

I have my System Variable Monitor (SYSVARMON) watching a few of my preferred settings. I've had a problem recently (not sure when it started) where dragging a PDF file into my drawing makes my SYSVARMON balloon pop up with "System Variable changed" and my interface jitters.  When I let off the mouse the _PDFATTACH command ends prematurely without letting me enter anything. My console output looks like this:

 

 

 

 

 

 

**** System Variable Changed ****
1 of the monitored system variables has changed from the preferred value. Use SYSVARMONITOR command to view changes.

**** No System Variable Changed ****

Command: _-pdfattach Path to PDF file to attach: "C:\Users<<<snip>>>

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With some trial and error, I figured out that the DYNMODE variable is the one changing. If I remove DYNMODE from the system variable monitor, then dragging PDFs into the drawing works fine again (interface doesn't jitter, command doesn't end prematurely).

 

As best I can guess, dragging a PDF into AutoCAD toggles the DYNMODE variable for some reason and the system variable monitor catches this, but in the process of catching the change it breaks the command in progress.

 

 

 

Screencast attached demonstrating problem.

Hi @sterling.parker 

 

I doubt the problem is with DYNMODE. The problem seems to be with the "status bar autowrap" feature. Type in the command "STATUSBARAUTOWRAP" and set it to "0" and see if that helps 🙂

Drag&Drop feature (DROPGEOM) disable the dynmode temporary,

so it isn't related to PDF files.

 

I Guess disableing is not a bug, but it would be nice if sysvarmon don't fire the message for this internal procedure.

 

Start a Supportcall i write it to the idea station, if you like.

@vinodkl Turning off status bar wrap does seem to "fix" the problem (or at least mitigate it), thank you. Will mark solution as accepted 👍

@cadffm I think you're right that sysvarmon should not trigger for this. I'll contact Autodesk support.
