Scrolling in the Editor

[cls71]

When there are a lot of lines and Region sections, scrolling does not work fine.
I can send you a video.

Hello cls71,

Thank you for your post,

Yes, so I may attempt to reproduce this on my end, please supply me with the steps you have taken.

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

To help us reproduce, roughly how many lines of code are in the full class?

How many regions are you using where issues appear to exhibit? And how big are these regions roughly?

[cls71]

Lines: 2000
Regions: dozens.

I have just sent a video to platformsupport (att. NinjaTrader_EricB) where you can see the malfunction.

An observation that perhaps could be useful to fix the bug:

When a Region is expanded or collapsed the thumb of the scrollbar does not move or resize, which is a malfunction.

Hello cls71,

I am unable to reproduce the scrolling issue on my end.

In order to test this further, can you please send the script you are using that is exhibiting this behavior to platformsupport [AT] ninjatrader [DOT] com with my name and a link to this thread referenced?

Hello ZacharyG,

Try this code. In the video you can see the exact point where occurs the malfunction.

Hi

I also see this, but I assumed that when the editor seems to have stopped scrolling, it is actually scrolling through the collapsed lines. cls71 has 220 lines collapsed, so it would appear that scrolling was not working properly.

Perhaps, this should just be a suggestion to treat collapsed regions as one line in the scrolling algorithm.

Cheers
Tony

The issue also occurs with expanded regions.
See this video.

Hello cis71,

I am able to reproduce this on my end with your further clarification and test script.

I will be reporting this to the development team and will provide you with any updates as they come along.

Hello,

Is there any advance about this issue (scrolling editor) ?

At this moment, the ninjascript editor is very ineffective for working with large files structured in many regions.

Thanks

Hello cls71,

Unfortunately, this is a known limitation with ActiPro, a framework which is what we use for the NinjaScript Editor. As of October 6th, 2015, we were informed from ActiPro of no known resolution at this time.

Add my voice to cls71 with regard to the way 'regions' are handled in the NinjaEditor.
In addition to scrolling....any little 'miskey' of a field can trigger ALL of the regions to suddenly pop open. While this will not be an issue for many, those of us with large chunks of code neatly tucked into many regions, will find it irritating at best and time consuming at worst.

On a scale of 1-10....this is clearly a very low "1"....but it would be nice to have the Ninja Editor be a bit more user friendly.
