Has anyone noticed that for the last several releases (at least back
to 2.6,) the eraser tool can't be chosen? It works okay in Rev so it
must be an IDE thing, but I can't for the life of me figure out why
it doesn't work. It doesn't work when chosen from the paint tools
palette, and it doesn't even work when specified from a script or the
message box.
I believe this is a change in the engine, and that I'd BZ'd it (maybe,
it's been a while). Perhaps the Rev IDE accounts for this in script
to work around it rather than dealing with it?
I'm not sure how that could be. Eventually the command has to boil down
to "choose eraser tool" by the time it gets sent to the engine.
I vaguely recall a problem in the MC paint tool palette where you
couldn't choose one of the other tools (pencil, was it?) That got fixed
and it may be when the eraser broke.
We should probably double-check this hypothesis using the Message Box....
If I put "choose eraser tool" into the message box, I get the pointer
icon (but it isn't the pointer tool; just the cursor.) The effect of the
cursor is zero after that -- no selection, no eraser, no nothing.
In Rev, I can enter "choose eraser tool" into the message box and it
works. Since that pretty much bypasses the IDE, I'm not sure what's
happening.
Thanks for checking that. Anyone recall when this stopped working? Or
maybe a better question would be when it was last known to have worked?
