directory history locks up TCC

[Speedie6]

Hi,

I'm using TCMD 15.01.58. I was using a version 15.00.? and had the same issue.

I've never had a problem with using the directory history in TCC until now. I just recently set the save to file option in TCC. In case that was my problem, I turned it off. But, the problem still remains. But, since it only started after I first set it, I'm guessing that is part of the problem. Don't know.

At any rate, now when I hit ctrl-pgup or F6, I don't see the history window, and, the instance of TCC is locked, won't accept any more text input. Other instances of TCC seem unaffected.'

I rebooted my computer in case something was odd in my computer state. But, didn't help.

Using XP SP3 with current MS patches.

Do the other popups (PgUp, F8) work as expected?

Most likely you're popping up the window either behind other windows, or offscreen. The simplest way to test that is to temporarily rename your TCMD.INI file and restart TCC, or to start TCC with the /I option.

Okay that was it. I know that sometimes Windows gets goofed up and puts windows off screen. But, it would be nice if somehow you could detect that. In any case, I took my tcmd.ini, deleted the popup window location lines and now it works again.
