Hello,

I often have an issue where the Project Browser doesn't work correctly. If I move a card, or add a control, sometimes it doesn't appear until I collapse and then expand the stack. Is this a normal problem? Am I doing something wrong?

I have tried it on 2 Windows PCs, both in Community version and Indy version. Seems to be the same.

Thank you!

Unfortunately the PB has its flaws...
I ususally close and reopen that stack to reset it from time to time.

Unfortunately, not limited to the issues mentioned above. I have made a little plugin to put a PB toggle button in the menu bar, which turns it off/on again and usually helps. At least it redraws the object list.

It's always best to turn the PB off if you are manipulating multiple objects. If you are (for instance) dragging a number of hilited objects around a card while the PB is open, then every mouseMove cycle it can intercept, the PB will attempt to redraw ALL the controls in the list, for EACH selected object, over and over again until the mouseMove is finished, and then eventually the PB might catch up. Or give up.

Can you share your plugin? It sounds great!

I don't understand why the Project Browser is 3 clicks away. Do you also know a quicker way to Place Groups?
