ActivityMonitor replicant does not display (replicant) handle

[koki]

When you drop a replicant of the ActivityMonitor on the desktop, it does not display the replicant handle. "Show Replicant" option is enabled.

Using r24959 on real hardware.

ActivityMonitor component is not present (yet?) in Trac, so tentatively assigned bug to Applications-Tracker component.

Maybe it's due to the way it is archived, however it does display the handle in Zeta:  http://revolf.free.fr/beos/shots/shot_beos_activity_monitor.png

IIRC it worked okay before switching to the new layout engine. One could compile the ActivityMonitor for BeOS, and try that version under Haiku, though.

[mmu_man]

Ah right it's the BeOS version that works in zeta, so it might be layout stuff.

So is there a way to remove the Activity Monitor if someone were to drop it as a replicant onto their desktop? Or at least resize the thing? http://dev.haiku-os.org/attachment/ticket/2452/screen5.png

Assuming you have Show Replicants turned on in Deskbar, it should have a hand in the lower right corner that you can use to move and/or remove it. If it isn't showing, that's a bug.

Search for the file tracker_shelf, delete it and restart Tracker. I believe that will remove all replicants you had on the desktop.

That's exactly what happens, and why I opened this ticket. See the title. ;)

Sorry, from the screenshot he posted it looked like the monitor was partly obscured, so I thought maybe it was just hidden behind the window.

I was just going to point this out. I see now more people are seeing it. It is an ugly bug when know as little as I do about hidden features of deskbar.

Fixed in r28330.
