Continuing the discussion from Rhino 8 Command Line Loses Focus:
I managed to reproduce this by starting a new document during a running command:
RH-81309 Starting a new doc should cancel commands
… documents should not influence each other.
the main problem is, that the unfinished command in the other document is blocking the current.
I don t like the solution of cancel the command - users might want to switch between documents, to gather info for the current command input:
I would prefer a proper implementation, and allow unfinished commands.
I simple example workflow that should be possible:
having 2 docs open, that relate to the same project.
start a _polyline in the 1st doc.
go to the 2nd doc, measure the some infos for the next polyline segement _length,
copy the output in the commandline.
go back to the 1st doc, paste the value…
or even without a command running in the 2nd doc, you might just want to look at it … so it s great to not have the command canceled - having parallel documents / commands should be prober implemented.
I added your comments to the YT, thanks
