Bug on open "HowTo ImGUI Windows Docking"

[TremensS]

Hey all,

I’ve downloaded 7.0 preview-0214 and wanted to try out the new sexy ImGui docking feature, but on opening the patch, all ImGui windows are stacked in a corner and I cannot click/move any.
Also, I noticed all titles are a mess of special characters.

When checking the Log windows, it is a constant cascade of these three messages from the start of the patch:

@sebl reported in the chat he doesn’t see the issue on his side.
So I would be interested to see whether it is a bug or a problem on my side?

Hope we can get this to work, this is a very useful new feature!
Thanks @kopffarben for the contibution!

You only opened the help patch?
In any case, I haven’t seen the error like this before. Try saving the helppatch and not using any fonts … i.e. disconnect the fonts. Just an idea, as it displays the fonts strangely.

Otherwise it is difficult to debug this from my side if I cannot reproduce the error. I would need a patch that reliably reproduces the error.

Yes, just clicked it straight from the Help Browser on a fresh 7.0 preview-0214, with No Cache flag.

I tried that and it did help: now the title bars show properly + I have a bunch of new floating winfows (outside of the MainImgui window) that were not there before.

Still some funny things:

• I cannot do anything with MainImgui window. I cannot click/move anything in there, it’s like frozen.
• if I drag any of the other floating windows into MainImgui, they vanish, and the MainImgui window still remains with the 2 default ones I see when opening the patch (StrideRenderer and StrideLocations)

Also the Log window stills shows the same cascade of (same) error messages :(

Let me know if you think of anything else I could try to help tracking this down?
Thanks!
