Forums -> UltraMon™ -> 3.0 beta 2.1 - SEVERE Command Prompt Problems
Mark   2008-03-06 02:55
When UltraMon is running, the Windows Command Prompt has SEVERE problems. The problems go away after I stop UltraMon.

1) I cannot find any way to make Copy/Paste or Find work!!!

2) When I right-click inside the window, sometimes the context menu appears, sometimes it doesn't.

3) When I select (by right-clicking on the Title Bar) "Properties -> Edit -> Mark" the cursor moves up to the upper-left inside the window, and then nothing else happens. I cannot drag on the window to select.

4) When I select (by right-clicking on the Title Bar) Properties -> Edit -> Find.. the Find Dialog is displayed, but nothing on it works!!! None of the buttons does anything. I cannot even cancel the Dialog. After I STOP UltraMon, the Cancel button works.

I can't reproduce this issue, works fine for me on XP SP2 with UltraMon 3.0.2.

Are you using any custom settings for the command prompt, or a third-party command processor?

Does the problem go away if you disable UltraMon window buttons for the command prompt via UltraMon Options > Compatibility?

Things *do* work again after I:
- disable window buttons
- disable menu commands

Thanks for the suggestion!



In case you want to try to reproduce, I'm using the standard Win XP Command Prompt with these settings...

Options:
- Cursor Size: Large
- Display Options:
- Window
- Buffer Size: 50
- Number of Buffers: 4
- Discard Old Duplicates
- Edit Options:
- Quick Edit Mode
- Insert Mode
Font:
- Size: 12
- Lucida Console
Layout:
- Screen Buffer Size: w=120, h=2000
- Window Size: w=120, h=50
- Window Position:
- Let system position
Colors:
- Screen Text: 0, 0, 80
- Screen Background: 255, 255, 218
- Popup Text: 128, 0, 128
- Popup Background: 255, 255, 255

I tried all combinations of "Quick Edit" and "Insert Mode" and it didn't make any difference.

I have now tested with your edit options as well, but haven't been able to reproduce the issue.

Unfortunately I don't know what might cause this, let me know if you find out anything else.
