Window Menu Bug?!

[Ajychau]

Hey all,

We're in the transition from VW2010 to VW2012, and it's going to be a fun ride converting files!!

But anyway, I've come across a bug. As the subject suggests, it has something to do with the Window menu.

The problem is that I can't switch between files when clicking on them in the window menu. I can't even access the resources like worksheets, or referenced files. It's like my mouse was a ghost trying to open a door.

Ctrl+Tab works a charm, opening reference files from the navigation panel works wonderfully...but the window menu does not work.

The tool called 'Document Windows' in Workplace editor.

The other times I've come across similar problems was in VW 12.5 as a warning sign it was going to crash.

Anyone else have this issue?

*Update*

So the issue is VW2012 ability to handle more than 350 fonts installed on a Windows 7 PC.

We tried this on a machine with 355 fonts:

1. Open VW2012

2. Create new VW file

3. Create additional new VW file

4. navigate to Window menu

5. mouse down to \'Untitled1\'

6. click on \'Untitled1\'

Result: Nothing happens.

We did the same thing on a machine with 321 fonts.

Result: Normal operation.

Thanks to Gunther at Vectorworks for providing the solution, and Julian at OZCad for the explanation.

Strange that there can be such a big difference between OS's, I have 1989 fonts in my font folder?
