TOC collapsed state not saved

Post by Hamid »

I have two levels of TOC in my file. When I save and close the file with the TOC collapsed so that only level 1 is showing, and then open the file again, the TOC appears expanded with both levels showing in Navigator.
I tested this with a smaller file with just a few TOC items and the problem does not occur, that is, when the file is opened again the collapsed state stays collapsed.
Anyone else has experienced the same?
I have sent a copy of my file to Feedback.

I am working with NWP 1.1 on iMac Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz with 4 GB RAM.

This does appear to be a bug in NWP 1.1. We'll look into fixing it, sorry for the trouble.

Not only this, but selecting entries often makes the lower half of the ToC disappear, or unexpectedly selects multiple entries. Also clicking a disclosure wedge without selecting its entry has become increasingly difficult.

I've never TOC entries disappear as you describe- if you have a way to reproduce the bug, please let us know using the menu Help > Send Feedback. It may be helpful to have a copy of the document you are working in.

Sorry: I can't pinpoint the steps to reproduce that glitch. It generally happens in the first few navigator manipulations, when you've just opened the document and need to collapse some headings, since they aren't remembered.

The problem sorts itself out after a few expand/collapse mouse strokes. Once stabilized, the navigator will remain stable until the document is closed and opened again.

The multiple selection problem is very frequent: in fact, it's very difficult to expand/collapse an entry without it getting selected at the same time. Sometimes it selects exclusively, but most of the times the selection is cumulative: just as if the shift or option keys were simultaneously pressed.
