[comp.sys.mac.system] Problem with StdFile Open in Sys7?

dweisman@umiami.ir.miami.edu (Ordinary Man) (04/13/91)

I've been using System 7b4 and I've noticed a problem with the Standard File
open dialog box. When I'm say 3 directories deep on my hard disk and I want to
go up a level or 2, I pull down the menu at the top and choose that level. A lot
of times, though (enough to be annoying), the menu doesn't change to that level,
and the directory stays the same. If I even click the pop up menu again, it then
goes to that directory and changes the menu. Once or twice, even, both menus 
stayed, the new on top of the old (I'm refering to the "title" portion of the
menu). Anyone seen this problem before? And if so, has it been fixed in later
versions?
I know about the command-arrow combinations but I use the mouse becuase I'm used
to it. Besides, it shouldn't be like this anyway.

Thanks,

Dan

Yes, the SFDialog box problem is fixed in 7.0f2c2.

This problem has been fixed in later releases, though sometimes when you switch directories, the directory list part draws before the menu updates, and this looks a little weird.  I think what Apple did was to standardize the popUp menu
CDEF, and went ahead using it in StandardFile.
