Edit Background doesn't work in latest update; 9th April

1

This morning’s release.

2

Works fine for me. What isn’t working, exactly?

3

Cmd B doesn’t work, nor Edit Background in the Paths pull-down.

4

What isn’t working, exactly? You mean that those commands do not switch to the background layer?

What machine are you on (macOS version, computer model)? Glyphs version is 3257, I assume?

5

Yes, those commands don’t work.
iMac retina 5K, 27 inch, Late 2015. macOSMonterey 12.7.4
Glyphs version from this morning. I restored to the one from yesterday.

6

Cannot reproduce on Sonoma.

7

When you say “reverted to the one from yesterday”, which version number is that?

8

3.2 (3255)

9

And that works? That is interesting.

10

Time Machine restore. No problem.

To reproduce this:

  • Type in some text in the tab.
  • Activate a glyph other than the first glyph. Activate the Select tool. Edit something to make Glyphs store the UI status in font (or elsewhere?).
  • Close the font.
  • Open the font.
  • The previously active glyph is typically still selected, with the Select tool.
  • Press cmd+B.
  • Glyphs activates the Background for the first glyph, not the active glyph.
12

In other words, after re-opening a font, Glyphs doesn’t seem to correctly set the currently active glyph internally, or something like that.

13

It’s OK. It now works in the latest version.

Thanks. I fixed it. It only happens with glyphs that do not have a unicode or are from the upper plane.
