I have noticed that if I click the "Info" button on a tiddler in TW5 and open the drop-down tiddler info table and then save the file with the info table open, it gets stuck open forever.  I cannot close it.

Steps to repeat:

1. Open a tiddler
2. Click "info" button opening the tiddler info table.
3. Save the file without closing the info table.
4. Reload the file
5. Open the tiddler

The tiddler will open with the info table already visible, and clicking on the button does not close it any more.  Deleting the tiddler and recreating it again did not help.  Apparently, this tiddler state is stored outside the tiddler and it does not get reset once it is written to the file.

I was able to get this info table closed again by opening my tw5.html file in a text editor and removing the following lines:

<div modified="201310310120" modifier="Arkady Grudzinsky" title="$:/state/tiddlerInfo---tiddlerTitle:New Tiddler 1;-tiddlerTitle:$:/core/ui/PageTemplate;-">
<pre>(591,70,29,40)</pre>
</div>

Let me know if there is a better place to report TW5 bugs.

Hi Arkady

You can also fix the problem by visiting the more/system tab and locating and deleting any tiddlers with titles start with $:/state.

This will be properly fixed shortly by excluding $:/state tiddlers from file saves.

Best wishes

Jeremy

Thanks, Jeremy.  Good to know. 

Another similar bug is a Javascript error.  Sometimes, when I write a filter and forget to open or close a "[]" pair, there is a big red error message that pops up every time I push any button, even when the error is already corrected.  I believe, the problem is that the error is corrected in the "Draft of 'Tiddler'" rather than in the 'Tiddler'.  The workaround for me is to save the file saving "Draft of 'Tiddler'", then opening the file again, opening "Draft of 'Tiddler'" and renaming it to "Tiddler".  This also seems to be incorrect behavior.

Hi Arkady

The errors thrown by syntax errors in filter expressions will be fixed soon. I've created a ticket so you can track it:


Best wishes

Jeremy.
