This release fixes various bugs, some which appeared in v1.3.3, and some of which have been around for a while.
Changes
- OS X: fixed desktop drop shadow bug: when switching from desktop mode to board mode and back, shadows were drawn behind annotations; these persisted even if the annotation was erased
- Windows: Updated bundled Visual C++ runtime library; fixed installer so that the library installation would be silent (no more dialog box appearing)
- Linux: fixed detection of "cloned" multi-monitor setups to avoid multi-screen mode being activated in this configuration. [Note: some problems remain with multi-monitor setups on some Linux versions; see Known Issues]
- Text items: text can no longer be selected or edited if the text item is marked as non-editable through its menu
- Text items: on page load, text items no longer take keyboard focus
- Library pane: fixed moving of items (upon moving an item to a folder, the item would not immediately disappear from its current location)
- Library pane: fixed nested folder issue in breadcrumbs trail (two folders that were at the same path and whose names started with the same characters were considered by the breadcrumbs trail to be nested)
- Document view: fixed folder names not being saved after renaming them
- Fixed audio item saving (v1.3.3 bug): documents containing an audio item were saved incorrectly, making the audio unplayable upon page load
- Desktop mode: eraser and marker preview circles now disappear when the cursor hovers over the left or right-hand toolbars, as in board mode
Known issues
On Ubuntu 14.04, some desktop environments cause problems in extended desktop mode. Specifically, on MATE, multi-screen mode is currently broken, with both OpenBoard windows (control and display views) appearing on the same display. On KDE, swapping the control and display views via the preferences menu can cause both windows to appear on the same display, but this can be solved by turning multi-screen mode off and on again, or by restarting OpenBoard.
