Hi Kathy,
I downloaded a demo version (4.4.2) of Photo Mechanic in March and used it briefly before getting involved in some other projects. I then purchased Photo Mechanic toward the end of May. I don’t recall if I downloaded a newer version at that time or if I just activated the demo version with the purchase code. I didn’t notice this problem until recently in 4.4.2 and now in 4.4.3.1.
If I click on a folder in the Navigator window and move down with the down arrow key, the highlight moves down to select the next folder. If I double click on a folder in the Navigator window, move with the scroll keys or page keys and then double click another folder, contact sheets open for both. The blue highlight on the last folder I opened then disappears after a few seconds and I wasn’t sure if this is normal behavior. After moving down a couple of folders with the scroll or page keys in the Navigator window, the Favorites window acts strangely. The vertical and horizontal scroll bars disappear and then reappear. This continues all the time, even when I’m not doing anything in either window.
If I move up or down in the Navigator window with the scroll bar while no folders are selected, the folders jump after a second or so, usually before I can click on a folder. This also happens after I’ve selected a folder in the Navigator window and then try to use the scroll bar to move to another folder.
If I click in the Favorites window and move down with the down arrow key, the highlight moves down, but then both scroll bars disappear and the cursor jumps up to another folder one level up from the highlighted folder, but not the highlighted folder’s parent. Sometimes, the highlight disappears without selecting another folder. When I select a Favorites folder and don’t move with any key or scroll bar, the highlight on that folder disappears when the Favorites scroll bars disappear and reappear as if the window is being rewritten.
The scroll bars in the Favorites window disappear and reappear every one or two seconds even when no folder is selected there. If I select a folder in the Navigator window and hit the scroll arrows repeatedly, the highlight moves up, or down, a folder at a time, but stalls when the Favorites scroll bars disappear and then the highlight in the Navigator window resumes it’s travel up, or down, the window.
Please let me know if I can give you any additional information. You can reach me at 480-899-0708 if you need to speak with me.
Thanks,
Joe
