I only now understand how the title of the topic was changed to something I don’t recognize myself. I also think that I could translate the “period” from French to something which is varying. However :
I was just pointed out (thank you @GraHal) that I had something like Dyslexia in the title because that really is how it went that afternoon. And I do have these (older age) issues, regularly.
Knowing that I am on the track to hand this topic to PRT Support, I figure (no guarantee) that this is what can happen :
- In the field (in the situation I ran into) of the fixed column (left-most column), I enter e.g. 123. What comes from it is 132, no matter how I try.
- The case I noticed it, I recall that by clicking at the appropriate place within the field – and shut off Insert to Override – I managed to have 123 in there after all.
- When you don’t notice this but it happens anyway, it could be that that the wrong value (132) is given to the Optimization Engine, while later (somehow) the field corrects to the typed content (123) after all.
- As a result you have 132 used in the Optimizer and 123 in the field. This is what I showed in the screenshots (but with 327 vs 237).
The topic is half “great fun” because I had been laughing with my son that I again entered a (dyslectic) wrong value, but is not funny at all when you don’t notice it and search for 20 minutes for a result you don’t understand and then come to the conclusion it can’t have been you.
I could (and will) make a dump via Help if it ever happens again, but I have no illusion that what’s to be sought for here is logged by any means – it would prove though, what my screenshots already show.
I feel a relation with my June 22 version (up for me since two weeks now) and something (interrupts ?) which hammer on my keyboard “response”. I mentioned this elsewhere. So when PRT becomes more “volatile”, I can’t type any more. Certain characters just won’t come through in an odd way. And no, it is not the keyboard because other keyboards (even ps2 vs USB) exhibit the same, though with different characters (so go figure).
If @Nicolas or another Mod feels he has a spare minute somewhere :
A parameter in the fixed column of the Optimization window turns up with a different value in the Result window
*that* would be a meaningful title, I think. As how the title currently is, it is “nothing”.
I will wait for that before handing it to PRT. Thank you !
