Revision mode cannot be enabled in Quick Ref panels

On Windows 10, Scriv v3.1.4.1.

Revision mode works fine in the main editors. Format > Revision Mode > First Revision launches the Enter Revision Mode? info box. Press OK and I’m in Revision Mode. New text is in the appropriate color.

However, in a Quick Ref panel, trying Format > Revision Mode > First Revision (or any revision) does nothing. No info box is displayed, Revision Mode is not enabled, and new text is in the normal non-revision color.

If I enable Revision Mode in a main editor, then it does enable it in the Quick Ref panels, so that’s a good workaround.

I see this behavior in my own projects as well as in the Tutorial.

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Works for me.

Ok. You are actually right.
But it works in the beta.
And after that (which is what I ended up doing the first time – a mistake on my end, scientifically speaking) it does work. (But I can’t turn it off. So yes, the function itself works, but it can’t be toggled in 3.1.4)

So the bug is kind of already fixed.
As I said (I just tested it again), it works perfectly in the beta.

It’s reassuring that it works in the beta. Thanks for checking!

Best,
