Workaround for "selectSelectionTool" Mac bug?

jasef

Hi all,

I'm using SU 8 on Mac and I've noticed that when I do

Sketchup.send_action "selectSelectionTool;"

The selected tool in the floating SketchUp toolbar changes, but the one at the top of the model window does not.

In the above screenshot, you can see that the floating toolbar (left) has the selection tool, but the selected tool in the window toolbar (right) is still Rectangle. I can even click back and forth on the tools in the floating toolbar and the selected tool in the window bar doesn't change! (Until I "fix it" by selected a tool from that toolbar...)

Any ideas for a workaround?

Thanks,

J

Well this should also work for ONLY the selectionTool

Sketchup.active_model.select_tool(nil)

The select tool is returned if you pass nil to the select_tool method.

Try that and report back. (I know it's not a fix for any tool )

Nope, same results. In the model window toolbar, the original tool stays visually selected even though the actual tool is now the selection tool (and the floating toolbar shows the selection tool is selected).

It's some sort of refresh bug, annoying but doesn't hamper functionality...just afraid it'll confuse users that the cursor is now the selection tool even though that toolbar says otherwise.
