The best choice is in a random position, in this way every time we read what is written before clicking. Rant aside - my point is yes this may be something in future, but it is a BIG job and with existing competent cross platform management tools already available it would not (and should not) be a priority for their developers.

Its also a lot of work and harder to maintain - I've built web-apps like this and inside the DOM there is no inherent (read: Good) window manager - there are some libraries out there, and there are oddities between different browsers in those libraries - I rolled my own and it fuckin suuuuuuucks to write and maintain events through the windows (in my case the windows are movable iframes with borders)

More and more equipment from other manufacturers is going this path.

WINBOX 3.29 FOR MAC

I keep hoping that one day MikroTik will put all winbox functionality in webfig so that we can maintain our routers without having to install winbox.Ī separate service program (available for Windows and also native for Linux and MacOS) would serve as a relay for MAC access and Netinstall functions.Įverything now done by winbox (including having sub-windows, configurable columns etc) would be done in a web environment programmed in Javascript (e.g. Toggling it on or off in a session that exhibits the problem does not make it change. Oskars asked if I use 'show categories' and while I sometimes use that, it is not enabled in the windows that exhibit the problem (like IP->firewall->filter), but it is in others like IP->firewall->address list. Of course it would be no fun to start from scratch, setup all those things in the sessions, and then after a lot of work accidentally hit something that makes it come back again. I have the issue on two different systems that do not share session files, and that connect to two different sets of routers. So that sort of confirms that it is either some setting in winbox that I previously made and did not make in the new session, or it is something in the session file that maybe got in there in an older version of winbox and not in the current one.

When I temporarily move that session file and start a session, then scale and position things the same as in the original setting, set the same filter, etc, it cannot be reproduced. the 'mouse dragging problem', I now have found that I can only reproduce it with an existing session file (.viw file) that exhibits the problem. I use Linux and wine, but others have confirmed that the problem also occurs under Windows. Of course you can click 'undo' after you inadvertently moved a rule to the wrong place, but when you have bad luck you can lock yourself out and will not be able to do that unless you had safe mode enabled. But it is a race between the counter updates and your mouse action. You still have the opportunity to quickly drag the moved line to the original position when you see this happen, before you release the button.

When you press the mouse button on a line to prepare to drag it up or down, it will jump to a random location at the next counter update, and when you then release the mouse button you will change your firewall (because order of rules is important). In the 'firewall filter' window it is even worse, because there you can drag lines in the firewall up and down. So the column changes width randomly, and when you release the mouse button you end up with column with another width than you want.

WINBOX 3.29 UPDATE

In a version 3.22 and higher, you will see that the column width changes whenever the counter update takes place. In a version that works OK, you can now drag the column separator and the column width will follow it smoothly. Now, you put the mouse cursor on a column separator in the header and keep the mouse button pressed, because you want to change the size of the column. These counters will be frequently updated because of the activity. Then you open a screen which shows lots of items (firewall rules, open connections, etc) and which shows counters. You need to have a router with a lot of activity on it. I know you wrong once here but I do not understand what the bug is. I have not sizing issues of columns but I might not use the functions as you. Can you describe the issue in more detail as I want to test as well.
