Preview not changing file when selecting new file in File List
Completed
Setting:
- Show File List
- Show Preview
- Version 1.0.0 (61)
- macOS 10.15.4
Behaviour:
- Select any file in File List.
- Repeatedly select a different file in File List, where different simply means different from the currently selected file.
- After between 3 and 10 new selections, Preview is not being refreshed to show newly selected file, but still shows previously selected file.
- After between 1 to 5 additional new selections, Preview is being refreshed to show the latest selected file.
Observations:
- It is independent of how the new files are selected. It can be done by mouse-clicking, or by use up-arrow and down-arrow.
- Is it independent of the speed by which new files are selected, whether one toggles between two files only, and the size of the files. It seems to be a pure Preview refreshing issues.
- Can be reproduced by restarting nvUltra, and immediately starting selecting new files.
I apologize if this has been reporting previously. I did find another bug report on scrolling, and I wonder if those two behaviours are related to the same refreshing issue.

Works fine for me, provided I am selecting text files. Are you sure you are only selecting text files from the notes list? How long are the files?

- I have 16 files in this directory, all are md-files, and between 300 bytes and 4 KB.
- I have four directories. In another directory with about 200 md-files, it took me 130 up/down arrow clicks to reproduce the behaviour.
- I am able to reproduce the behaviour immediately after restarting nvUltra.
- Yes, I select one file by mouse-clicking, and then use up/down-arrows. No filtering, no searching.
- I don't see anything of interest in Console.
Let me know how I can help and I will run more tests this weekend.
(nvUltra is fantastic!)

If you send me the folder I can take a look. Still can't replicate, and I tested with smaller files, as well as some really long ones, and with non-text files. worked fine.

Sent two files using the "Submit a request" bottom at top of screen. It suffices to create a new directory with these two files, restart nvUltra, point it to this directory, and toggling selecting between them. Three panels active: File List, the editor, and Preview.

Still works fine for me with your files.
Can you send a screenshot of your Preview preferences?

I have sent two files using the "Submit a request" bottom at top of screen, defaults plist entries and screenshot.

Duplicating your preview settings and using your files still works for me.
I notice that you have a custom CSS file -- are there any errors in that? Do you still have trouble when you switch to a stock CSS file?

Might have spoken too soon. Hang on.

I switched to Defaults-Dark and Pretentious stock CSS files, and the lack of refresh still happens. It is only occasionally, and it only occurs after an unbroken sequence of several switches between files.

I finally tracked down the issue.
Thanks!!

My thanks to you and Brett! nvUltra is an incredibly useful app. I use it every day and am thankful for being able to do so.

You're welcome!
I'm a *little bit* biased, but nvUltra is an indispensable part of my daily workflow. So I'm highly motivated to keep it working well!
(And now that I have functioning versions of Composer and nvUltra for iOS, it's even more useful..... ;) -- they're not ready for public testing yet, but they're getting close...)0
