audio and video components with auto height disappear from the IDE

[John5269257]

Hi

Thanks for now allowing percentages and 'auto' in component sizes.

Small problem though. Set a video or audio component to auto height and it disappears from the gui. A red dotted line used to represent such a component, but that line now disappears, leaving no trace in the design view.

So I have audio and video components that work, but I can't access them in the design tab of the ide.

I've just replicated this problem in a new app - just add an audio or video component, give it a source, test it and then go back to the design view and set its height to auto. It will disappear from the design view.

Any way of getting these components back, or deleting them and starting again?

Thanks,
John

Unfortunately it's a bug. And I'm afraid there is no way to delete this component in builder.

Hi John,

There is no workaround. Please share the application with a href="mailto:support@appery.io" rel="nofollow"support@appery.io/a and send us an email. We will fix your application manually and send you the fixed app backup.

Hi Katya,
I've sort of worked round it - just created new items and set the old ones to not display.

Related question - I tried to remove these items through changing the css by editing source. This seems to have decoupled the css from the ide - changes to formatting in the ide don't get applied.

For example, if I add a new label and change its size and color these changes don't get reflected in the web app. Is this because I've messed with the css by editing it in the source view? If so, can i sync it back again? I don't care if I lose any css changes I made.

Thanks
John

Hi John,

After you change source code UI builder won't work. You can delete the source file, click Undo All Source Changes and add custom JS code. This is more correct.

Thanks for the tip Katya. All now ok.
