      Hello Pherim. I tried to reproduce the crash or inconsistent cursor changing behavior with AMS Library 3.0.1, but, similarly to your trial, I couldn't. It is very likely that such bug persisted in version 3.0.0, but not in the current version, 3.0.1. But to be sure, I'll keep an eye on the library.

      Hello,

      it happened again, now in Sketchup2016, with basically nothing but your plugins installed via Sketchucation tools. I don't know what exactly causes it, but it never happened with AMS Library and Window Settings disabled. I hope you can find the issue and fix it, as I would really like to be able to toggle toolbars and toolbar containers with hotkeys. With SU2016, the new trays which replace the dialog windows can natively be toggled with hotkeys, which is a very good addition in my opinion.

        Thanks for your another report Pherim. I'm trying my best to reproduce that crash. In order to track it down, a little more information that lead to a crash would be appreciated.

        1. Did the crash occurred following a certain operation, like triggering a particular button, shortcut, or command or did the crash occur randomly?
        2. At what time did SU crash, when SU launched or some after it after is launched?
        3. Was the Window Settings dialog open at the time of the crash?

          Alright, here's what I got so far:

          When I start Sketchup with AMS Lib and Window Settings active, at first everything works fine. As I begin playing around with different tools, both native SU and from extensions, after a short time, tools begin to stay highlighted in the toolbar (only native SU toolbars in SU 2016, as tools in other toolbar are not highlighted at all in this version) even after changing to another tool, and then shortly after SU will crash when right-clicking, mostly on a group or component, I believe, and possibly only with a non-native tool active.

          It does not happen with just AMS Lib active and Window Settings disabled in Sketchucation Plugins/Extensions Manager, but as no other plugin depends on it, I guess it could be the cause, as well.

            Hello Wikii, I have added a feature to communicate between windows on same computer. See http://www.rubydoc.info/github/AntonSynytsia/AMS-Library/master/AMS/Sketchup#send_user_message-class_method

            Pherim, I tried reproducing that crash and I came across it once, but, following similar operations, I couldn't reproduce it again. It seems to occur very rarely. I haven't been able to track the crash down, but I did make small changes and improvements, which could potentially resolve the crash.

              I'm afraid it still happens... I was just able to reproduce it two times, using only standard tools.

                Good! Looks like you know the exact steps to reproduce it. List 'em here, please.

                  Well there is not much more to it than I already wrote. I just use various tools, make groups and components and edit them, until the tools begin to stay highlighted in the toolbar - this happens all the time. Then, at some point, it eventually crashes when I right-click, possibly only or at least more often on groups or components. I tried to record a video of the process, but so far, I have not been able to produce a crash while recording. Maybe they are not happening as often now, but they definitely still do.

                    Hello everyone, AMS Library version 3.1.1 has been released. It is important to upgrade to a new version because it addresses a bug fix, which caused spike in performance, which lead to toolbar icons staying highlighted and eventually to a crash. Huge thanks to Pherim for reporting and verifying it. See first post for download links.

                                  Can you downgrade to 3.1.3 and check if the crash still occurs? Here is the download link to 3.1.3: https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3qg8f4WrNdHci1DLTZEbVpqdzQ

                                      Hi Anton_S, is there an observer to detect whether the trays in sketchup2016 is automatically shown or hidden, and its width and position?

                                        Hello lionk,

                                        There is no observer that triggers when dialogs/trays are shown or hidden. There is a way, however, to detect if SU2016 trays are visible.

                                        Consider the following code snippet to get all visible trays:

                                        
                                        # Obtain visible trays
                                        visible_trays = []
                                        AMS;;Sketchup.get_visible_dialogs.each { |handle|
                                          cname = AMS;;Window.get_class_name(handle)
                                          visible_trays << handle if cname =~ /Afx;ControlBar|Afx;MiniFrame/
                                        }
                                        visible_trays
                                        
                                        

                                        As well as, the following snippet to get all visible trays along with their information, such as title, width, height, and whether its docked or floating:

                                        
                                        # Get tray information.
                                        # Afx;ControlBar resembles a docked tray
                                        # Afx;MiniFrame resembles a floating tray
                                        tray_data = {}
                                        AMS;;Sketchup.get_visible_dialogs.each { |handle|
                                          cname = AMS;;Window.get_class_name(handle)
                                          next if cname !~ /Afx;ControlBar|Afx;MiniFrame/
                                          rect = AMS;;Window.get_rect(handle)
                                          tray_data[handle] = {
                                            ;caption => AMS;;Window.get_caption(handle),
                                            ;docked  => cname =~ /Afx;ControlBar/ ? true ; false, # docked or floating
                                            ;width   => rect[2] - rect[0],
                                            ;height  => rect[3] - rect[1]
                                          }
                                        }
                                        tray_data
                                        
                                        

                                        Anton

                                          I want to get the status of trays in auto-hide mode, and its size and position, so I can get the accurate width or height of the view. Because the trays will overlap part of the view.
