Can't enter/type in a file

I just started using KomodoEdit and ran into a problem entering data in a file. I opened an existing html file, deleted lines in the and some in the section.

I went back to the area to add additional CSS coding…I entered some blank lines for spacing and then attempted to enter text, but Komodo would not let me enter any text…same thing in the section.

I noticed that the “colors” on the left side of the entry area; between the line numbers and the text area grew with each empty line entry and started showing the colors.

Any idea what this is and what setting I change to keep this from happening?

@jack,

Looks like you cut off mid sentence. Could you finish that thought and make sure you include your logs Help > Troubleshooting > View Log File. Also be sure to note your OS type and version as well as what version of Komodo you’re using.

I opened the Log File and cleaned it hoping to capture the error I was seeing…on restarting Komodo, the problem went away?

My problem was not being able to enter text after opening an existing html, deleting multiple lines in the header and body sections.

There were different “color bars” on the left between the line numbers and text dialog…I think this was the “deleted lines” offer to reset?

I could not enter anything within the “green” area shown on the right.

@jack, I can’t be sure with out errors or reproduction steps. Just to clarify, you cannot reproduce this any more? If that is the case please see if you can reproduce the issue, when you can, please provide the information I asked for in my first response.

FYI, the coloured bars on the left of the screen that you note are just what you said, they show the changes to your file. It’s the Track Changes Tool.

The problem is back…I’m using Windows10 Pro, 64bit. I’m using KomodoEdit, version 9.3.2, build 16460, platform win32-x86.
I could not upload the log file so I’ve copied it here: (…Local\ActiveState\KomodoEdit\9.3\pystderr.log)

Went into Safe Mode and the problem occurred again. I’ve attached the log file and the test file I was using when it happened.

I can’t reproduce this at all. Let’s make sure the SafeMode worked
Close Komodo and find C:\Users\myUsersName\AppData\Local\ActiveState\KomodoIDE\9.3. Rename it and start Komodo.

If that doesn’t work then you should try re-installing Komodo.

If THAT doesn’t help then, if you can, please make a screencast of you reproducing the issue and share it here.

I uninstalled then installed KomodoIDE in lieu of KomodoEdit…same problem initially…then started to work…seemed as if the program was “working in the background.”

I then re-installed KomodoEdit (left IDE as was) and started it…same issue…then started working and has since the reinstall.

At this point I will monitor and see if it does it again…I will then make a screencast to show, but there are no “sequence of steps” etc. to reproduce the problem…just delete some lines and attempt to start entering text in the lines/location that was just deleted and the problem occurs…

It would be interesting if you could pull up the Windows Task Manager to see what’s going on with the Komodo process at the time that the issue appears; high memory usage? High CPU? Is something ELSE using a lot of processing?

How long is this stall where you can’t type? You can interact with Komodo still, correct? It’s only that you can’t enter text?

  • Carey

Right now I’m looking to get a headset with mic to show/describe the sequence…“Intermittent” seems to have been a fluke…delete 3 lines and the program will not let me enter text…I will get a “movie” of the problem and send it to you.

I will take a snap of the Task Manager also, but this does not seem to be the problem as the other programs opened in the background do not have any “hesitation” problems.

Jack

Which is why I asked specifically about the Komodo process. Though you can’t write off that Komodo may be conflicting with another program for a resource, eg. the file you’re editing.

At this point I have no idea what is wrong so we need to eliminate any possibilities.

Hi there,

currently experiencing this problem

regards

Update:

it happens when i go to edit i.e delete text press shift and then attempt to write in caps. Boom! im unable to write. Close komodo reopen and then its okay again.

regards

Are you able to reproduce the issue in Safe Mode? (Help - Troubleshooting - Restart in Safe Mode)

Hi,
I know it’s an old subject but I have the issue in Komodo edit 11.
Only letters or numbers aren’t accepted, space, enter, tab or shortcuts are working.

The root cause is that I use the touchpad, if I swipe left or right the issue start only in the active tab. Other tabs aren’t affected. When you swipe on the touchpad you see the cursor moving left and right but it doesn’t take the letter and number input anymore.

For now the only way to recover is to close the current tab and reopen.
If the file is saved with the bug then closing it and reopen it doesn’t help.

Komodo Edit build 18122 totally fresh install (no add-on,no modification of the preferences…)
Windows 7 pro 64bit
HP 840 G1 without touchscreen.

Looking forward to hear from you, because this is annoying.

Thank you,

Antoine

Hi, do you have Windows program that maps touchpad swipes to something like arrow key presses? The fact that the cursor is moving after a swipe is not Komodo’s default behavior. After you swipe, is there anything in your Help > Troubleshooting > View Log File that might indicate a problem?

Hi Mitchell,
thanks for taking the time to answer.
The touchpad is set to scroll up and down and right and left whe you place two fingers on it. This is the same as you would do with a mouse, or a tablet.
In Komodo the up and down scroll is applied to the scrollbar, however the left and right is not moving the scrollbar at the bottom.

Those are the lines generated in the logs once I scroll left and right:

Hi, I take back what I said. It appears the cursor movement on horizontal scroll is something Komodo has taken upon itself to do. I do not know why this is. If you’d like, you can file a bug on our bug tracker: https://github.com/Komodo/KomodoEdit/issues/new. Unfortunately, I do not have a solution or workaround for you other than to not use horizontal touchpad swipes :frowning:

no worries now that the reason is identified I just need to be careful when scrolling up and down to not move left or right :slight_smile:
Thanks again fo taking the time to look into it, I will follow the bug reporting procedure.
Have a nice day.
