Bug: AFPhoto, 1.5.0.37 -- Right-click on layer only displays for a split second

[Felonius]

I don't know if this has been reported yet, but in AFPhoto 1.5.0.37, when I right-click on a layer in the layer panel, the dialogue appears for a split second then disappears, with no opportunity to interact with it. 

 

This is on Windows 7 x64 with all current updates, Core i5 3320M notebook CPU, 8 GB RAM, Intel GMA 4000.

Hello,

 

I can't conform this. My system is Windows 7 x64 with all updates, Core i7, Intel HD 530.

 

Your problem must be somewhere else.

Took a video to show what I'm talking about. 
 
In the capture, it shows my cursor. When there's a small blue circle around the cursor, that's me attempting to right-click on the layer.

After some more experimentation, I discovered that if I have more than one layer selected at a time, the right-click dialogue appears and stays properly. If I attempt to only right-click on a single layer at a time, the problem occurs. See part 2 attached video.

Hi Felonius,
can't confirm this under Windows 10, GTX 670,
will try it tomorrow on my Win 7 PC

Ah hah! figured out the exact steps to reproduce the problem. It appears to be related to having the Character studio panel open, while the Layers panel is moved out of its standard docking position.

 

I started by reloading the app and removing all current config items by holding CTRL and clearing all selections. 

 

To reproduce: 

 

1. Open any image in ADPhoto with multiple layers. 
2. Go to View -> Studio and select the "Characters" panel
3. While the Characters panel is open and visible, move the Layers panel out of its default position. Doesn't have to be on a secondary monitor, just has to be moved out of its standard docking location. 
4. While the Characters panel is open and visible, and the Layers panel is moved out of its default docking position, try right-clicking on a layer in the Layers panel. 

 

Took a new video to demonstrate.

 

 

This has fairly obvious consequences for people wanting to move their panels off to a second monitor, which is how I stumbled on to the problem in the first place.   :)

Yes. This way I can confirm the problem.
