B4J Question Views cannot be moved.

[LucaMs]

By selecting some Views placed in a certain way they are impossible to move.

Moveable:

Not moveable:

have you activated the property LassieComeHome ?

Isn't that just that the designer script editor is active?

No.

Moved to the questions forum. Always better to start in the questions forum.

This happens when you select a view with its parent view.

You can tell it won't move as the handles on the selected controls disappear as in your second gif.

I didn't understand. They were all labels placed on the "base" (there were no views inside panes; now yes because I changed it).

Yes, I noticed that.

This is really weird...

I created a new layout, copied and pasted the Labels from the original layout and the result was the same, it was not possible to move them (they were indicated without the squares for their resizing).

At this point I wanted to post the layout here on site but, for privacy reasons, I changed their names. At this point they have become movable!



P.S.
Well, now I haven't been able to recreate that situation anymore.
It does not matter, it must have been a special case, due to who knows what.

This seems to happen when the selected Views are more than 30 (however you select them, even with CTRL + Click). "No parent".

when the selected Views are more than 30

Confirmed!

Test.

Perhaps this may be true for mobile apps, not for desktops (this is the B4J forum)

I just made a joke based on the famous quote of Bill Gates:

"640 kB ought to be enough for anybody"

And I, stupid, looked for that phrase from Erel on site ?

There was a performance reason behind it. I will recheck it at some point...
