Hi Mike,

I'm using the dummy device…not sure if that makes a difference…can't imagine why it should.

Yes that's fine, I do that often when testing, it is also handy to have two instances of WSJT-X running using the stereo mix device of your system sound card as output (assuming your sound drivers support stereo mix); that way you can have QSOs off line to test the software.

This is 1.5 r5394

Start WSJTX and Aggregator.

Start transmitting a message with Tab 2 visible.

Send free text

WSJTX-1.5 puts the free text in Tab 2 and changes the Tx and Last Tx to the new text even though tx time is well beyond 25 seconds.

1.6.0 doesn’t do it. 1.6.0 puts the text in tab2 but doesn't change either Tx message.

And here's a video showing it happening.

I can't quite see how this is all triggering in the code (maybe not enough caffeine this morning) to debug it.

Ok what is happening isn't quite as you describe it. The incoming free text message UDP trigger is calling the click() slot of the tab 2 free text radio button. This only generates the button toggled() signal (which is being used to process button activity) when the button is not checked, so when multiple free text message triggers are received only the first triggers a message change while transmitting. This behaviour is the same in both v1.5 and the trunk neither version is time in period sensitive, it is simply the consequence of "clicking" a radio button that is already checked.

I have committed a change to the trunk that makes the tab 2 Gen/Free text radio buttons active even if they are already checked so if the message text is changed while transmitting clicking the radio button next to the edit field will always change the message being transmitted.

If this is Ok with everyone I will merge it into the v1.5 branch.

Hi Mike,

    Laurie noticed that if you are using 1.5 and send free text it
    enables tab 2.

I am not able to reproduce this behaviour. Can you reduce a test case down to a minimum set of steps using WSJT-X and message_aggregator?

I tested and that's what happens on 1.5 but not on 1.6. On 1.6 tab 2 isn't touched at all.

I assume 1.6 behavior is the desired behavior?

There are some potential issues that need resolving in v1.6 due to the extra modes and tabs but yes I would expect loading the free text message to only effect the currently visible tab in v1.5.
