Follow-up after installing Leo to Ubuntu. Leo behaves as it does in Windows as far as I can tell. No “sticky” outlines/nodes and Viewrendered works as expected .
I am confident that the strange behaviors are with OS X only. -TK On Sunday, April 18, 2021 at 5:53:58 PM UTC-4 TEK42 wrote: > I finally got around to installing Leo on a Windows machine so that I can > compare it against some behavior I have experienced in OS X. > > The main troublesome but intermittent issue on OS X is that when I have > multiple outlines open in Leo, it sometimes acts on the wrong Node tree. > For instance, there are times when I am trying to insert a child node on > the outline I am working on and it appears to be doing nothing at all, but > inspecting another Outline (opened but not the active tab) I find that the > "failed" child node inserts are all present there.
