- Open project with two editors, different documents. Emphasis is on top editor (even though I last worked in document open in bottom editor in ‘compose’ mode). Expect the emphasis to be on the last used document.
- Click into bottom editor. Open ‘compose’ mode; work in document. Command-S to save changes. Command-Q to quit program.
- Scrivener goes back to main editor/split screen as it is quitting. The document I had worked on in bottom editor is now open in top editor too, and emphasis has changed to top editor.
- If the program is started again after quitting and same project opened, same document is open in both editors, with emphasis on top editor.
I have had this (emphasis changes to top editor and same document is open in both editors) happen a few times when coming out of ‘Compose’ mode. I can’t find anything in Preferences that I think might be responsible.
First noticed this on a Mac Air running OS 10.9. I was able to reproduce using these steps on a Macbook with OS 10.7.5.
If it helps, Console says:
Dec 1 19:50:25 Susans-MacBook-Air.local Scrivener[10550]: 10.4-style NSDateFormatter method called on a 10.0-style formatter, which doesn’t work. Break on _NSDateFormatter_Log_New_Methods_On_Old_Formatters to debug. This message will only be logged once.
Dec 1 19:50:26 Susans-MacBook-Air.local WindowServer[131]: disable_update_timeout: UI updates were forcibly disabled by application “Scrivener” for over 1.00 seconds. Server has re-enabled them.
Dec 1 19:50:27 Susans-MacBook-Air.local WindowServer[131]: common_reenable_update: UI updates were finally reenabled by application “Scrivener” after 1.54 seconds (server forcibly re-enabled them after 1.00 seconds)
This isn’t a huge deal, but it’s annoying to have to keep on reopening the previous file in the top editor.
Sorry if this is a known issue, but I couldn’t find the list on the site.
