Since upgrading from 23 to 24 there appears to be an annoying glitch that will not allow you to tab through RGB values when editing a colour or colour values. This is slightly annoying as I have to input each value with a mouse click rather than just press tab. Would anyone know why this is happening? Cheers
The inspector panels are being migrated to use the Qt cross-platform GUI libraries.
Data field TAB order is one of the outstanding issues. It is a work in progress, and several of the dialog interfaces and inspector panels have this known issue.
BTW, your forum profile still lists your OS as Win 8.1. This old OS is not supported nor tested with SketchUp versions from 2021 onward.
Thanks for the reply Dan, I am using Windows 11 - I just must have not updated my profile!
Thanks again for the response, Cheers, Nick

Hi there - any further information regarding this issue?
You know they are working on itā¦
Sorry mate, I pay for a program to work as it should, this is months later, not 24 hours. Additionally it was a functioning āfeatureā if you could call it that. Not a big ask. Thanks for the update.
@AMG445 :
@DanRathbun already explained that it has to do with the transition to Qt platform. this is not a simple copy-paste actionā¦
With every major update there are some bugs that need to be solved as it is almost impossible to check a new version against all possible hardware/software/OS configurations. This is true for most softwaresā¦
Upgrading to a new major version is always at risk of something not working.
Therfore it is highly suggested to keep an older version that works for your workflow while testing the new version on your hardware/software/OS configurationā¦
āDemandingā an instant bugfix is only going to frustrate you.
That was over three months ago mate. So sorry for ādemandingā something, I did not upgrade to 2024 for almost a year for this reason. No idea why I am getting this reaction for asking a simple question and asking for some form of update. Is 2024 still beta? No idea what Qt platform is, and couldnāt care less. Letās clarify that this is not a massive deal and I donāt understand the aggressive response. I guess Iāll just wait another three months to see whether I can tab through rgb values and check back then. Thanks again.
No Idea why you are so offended, there was no intended aggressiveness from my sideā¦
This is a users forum and all but a few of us here are volunteers that spend our free time to help others with SketchUp related questions.
Yes you asked a simple question. I gave you a simple answerā¦
If this is so immportant to you, then you should be contacting Trimble SketchUp directly.

I think if you reread your posts you can see why someone might take it as demanding and aggressive even though what you ask isnāt unreasonable.
Please remember this is a user mutual support forum. Only a few of us are Trimble employees (I am not), and even those who are employees are generally prohibited from discussing internal planning and priorities. Colin, who is an employee, went about as far as he is allowed.

Fair enough, and totally get it. I will take it up with the re-seller here for Trimble in Australia. Appreciate the replies. Thanks

No, its current public release is 24.0.2
Even so, it is important for you as a consumer to know what the base reason is for why this regression bug occurred.
This was no small task, but I do agree with you that this migration may be taking somewhat too long (in the eyes of the userbase.) From the outside, we cannot know all the challenges of rewriting the core GUI code to change from two 35-year-old platform-specific libraries to a set of modern cross-platform libraries.
@kath can you add anything to clarify the challenges?

Hi Dan, I opened (SU-58669) to address this issue. I know I have another issue floating around for this too. Thanks, Kath

@kath You already have SU-57953 open for this issue.
Thank Dan, I went and looked up that issue and itās on the back burner. QA has made an argument that the Trays should be tab-able in general. Iām not sure how much attention we will get on this. TY for reminding me that this issue is still open. Iāll update you if I get a response. Thanks for your help, Kath
