The latest version of MBS stopped sorting the list of files in the windows menu is there a setting I am not seeing?
Yes, got a lot of complains when it freezes FileMaker Pro.
So it's off by default.
If you like to enable it:
MBS( "SyntaxColoring.SortMenuEntries.SetEnabled"; 1 )
Can you confirm whether this freezing issue is also related to an issue where FileMaker will freeze immediately after entering field definitions after selecting a window? I was using the older MBS version and was constantly getting beachball freezes once I went into field definitions.
This only occurred after selecting a file from the window menu and then going into its field definitions. Didn't happen every time but quite often.
After updating to the latest MBS version, I have not seen it yet, and wondering if this is the freeze discussed?
Yes, this also happened with database definition dialog.
FileMaker updates the menu, we sort and that caused a problem for some users.
You can use Activity Monitor to sample process for FileMaker. In the sample, you see the menu being updated while it is constructed.
So I disabled the feature by default until we know a way to make it safer.
