Bugs when recomputing

Ok, here's a good invariant to test for. I'm looking at a flawless history. If I right-click on a feature (say, an extrude), chose "Edit", and click "OK" without changing anything, that should not break anything. And it doesn't, which is good.

 

But if I click in one of the text boxes (with parameters of the feature), press Cmd-A Cmd-C, click again and click "OK", that should not break anything either, right?

 

Well it does. See attached screen recording.

did you verify in the parameter dialog that what you expected to be there for that Extrude feature offset parameter was actually there?  I wonder whether something happened in that Cmd-A Cmd-C action that changed the value.

 

Also, please share your design.  It's hard to debug just from a video.  Thanks.

I reproduced this problem multiple times, because it was so bizarre. Each time I painstakingly checked if the text box contained the same thing that it did before. Why painstakingly, you ask? Well, because the incredibly clunky UI only shows a tiny part of my text, MacOS keyboard shortcuts do not work, so navigating the text field is a pain. But it's possible.

 

In other words, yes, there was no change in the parameters, but the build broke anyway.
