Regrression: Previous Tab does not go to last Tab starting v3.8.0 (fixed in v3.8.5)

Post by skybow »

Hello,

after updating to the latest Vienna RSS version I noticed that the round robin feature when navigating to "previous tab/next tab" won't work anymore.
I tried to find the place in code where things go wrong, however it comes down to some replacement that was done when moving from v3.7.x to v3.8.x: The original that performed the round robin feature was in "Browser.m" in function/method "showPreviousTab/showNextTab", but this code is not called anymore in v3.8.0.

Sorry if this forum might be the wrong place to post this, but I haven't gotten involed into Vienna RSS but want to provide this feedback somewhere. I appreciate the work on Vienna RSS very much and I would like to update to the latest v3.8.x release again, but for me personally this regression is a major drawback. I am willing to submit this into the issue queue in GitHub, but I wanted to check in the forum first to see, if there are others that are missing this feature

TIA

Hi,

Thanks for noticing this.

Can you confirm my understanding of the issue?
1/ the problem appears when you attempt to go from the first tab (the "Articles" tab) to the last one by using the "Window->Previous Tab" menu item (or its keyboard equivalent Command-Option-⬅︎)
2/ similar issue when you attempt to switch from the last tab to the first one using the keyboard shortcut Command-Option-➡︎
3/ the bug only appears when "Preview New Browser" is activated (in the Advanced section of the settings / preferences). When you use the old browser, things are working as expected.

Hi barijaona,

yes you did understand everything right.
I also retried all with version 3.8.4 (for I downgraded to 3.7.5) using the "New Browser" both on an off:
When on, it failes, when off it works with this version.

I also saw that you released version 3.8.5 with this issue fixed and I can confirm that it works with this version as expected with both "New Browser" on and off. Thanks a lot for the quick response on this fix and for all the work on Vienna RSS.
