It is something immediate, like 3 or 4 switches and it starts happening. I'm on Windows 11. Unfortunately, I can't run Mapinfo without Discover, since my license is part of a bundle. I will start using the ctrl+tab tip, until I get used to it. By the way, I noticed that the yellow dot that shows the ...

So, I did some more testing and found out it is not related to map mini toolbar, it is just related to clicking close to the border of the tab, where the icon is, while switching between tabs. As shown in the video, eventually the tabs get unclickable, then if I right click they get responsive again ...

Correct, if right click menu is open the glitch happens, it doesn't need to be close to the tab. I assume it's related to the map mini toolbar because in one occasion it got stuck detached from right click menu, in the middle of the screen and had to restart Mapinfo. ------------------------------ ...

Hi! I just found what triggers the issue. It seems related to the floating bar that appears when right clicking. If you look closely on video 1, when I click on a tab having the right click menu open, the tab 'thinks' I'm trying to move it, so if I click close to its border, it moves (note the ...

Nick, Hi, thank you for your detailed post. I've been trying to reproduce this for a while but could not make it. It just happens, as you say, after some hours of normal work. I do know it involves searching and selecting some records in browser, then switching to map to find selection, then come-back, ...

Hi I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this issue when going back and forth between browser, layout and map tabs. I don't know exactly what triggers it, but it happens several times during a work day. I can't click most of mapinfo interface, except for right button on the tab, make it floating ...

Hello, I have an excel table with many fields. One of them goes like: Samples 1 2 3 4 GA12345 GA123456 ... When importing this table, mapinfo recognizes sample field as float automatically. But, since I don't want to lose the other records I select to treat the field as character. ...

Hi Peter This caught my eye: Instead, a small flag for the record is set indicating that that specific record has been deleted. Is there a way to change that deletion flag in order to "undelete" records and geometries? Thanks for your time ------------------------------ Paolo Banchig ---- ...

So I recreated the path the export dialog suggest when I open it. When I launched it again, it detected that the path does exist and then I changed the path to something else. It works fine now.  I think that when you open the export dialog, if the suggested path doesn't exist, some kind of bug is triggered. ...

Hi Peter Can you make it work if you paste the path into the Output Folder field instead of selecting the path with the Browse button? Same result, button gets disabled. When you see the Export Table(s) to File(s) initially, there is a red text under the Output Folder field. What does that translate ...
