Summary0005160: Problems / suggestion when locating via the secondary clock.
DescriptionThere seems to be a new entry system for typing in a value (into the secondary clock) in order to locate the transport. However, I've noticed a couple of bugs with it...

1) To initiate typing you first need to click on the clock with your mouse. That initial click brings up an orange cursor, allowing the time value to be changed (or the beats/bars value or whatever). However, not all the available area is click-sensitive (at least, not on OS-X). If we imagine the clock's width to be 100%, only the first 85% or so is mouse sensitive. If you click towards the RHS of the clock (i.e. in that last 15%) your click gets ignored.

2) If you try to change the clock's mode while the orange cursor is displayed, it stops displaying anything (e.g. if it's currently showing bars & beats, try changing it to timecode).
Additional Informationand a suggestion...

1) It'd be quite cool if you could start your typing with a + or - sign. Instead of making an absolute change to the current value, + or - would apply an offset. So you could locate back by 10 bars (say) or forward by 1 minute or whatever.

Offsets can already be entered, you enter the value then hit the + or - key. See here for more details http://ardour.org/a3_features_clocks

Thanks Oofus. That's just as convenient.

I can't reproduce your second issue. Changing the clock mode seems to drop out of editing mode. Can you provide a more detailed recipe?

the righthand side "dead zone" should be fixed in rev 13391

Hi Paul. Yes, it does drop out of editing mode but on my system (OS-X 10.6.8) the clock and the two fields underneath it (sync source and FPS) all become blank (no text visible).

Steps to reproduce:-

1) Left click on either of the timecode clocks (notice that an orange edit cursor appears)
2) Right click on the same clock and change its mode.

This causes all text to disappear from that clock and the two fields underneath it.
