Description
The plot controls (like zooming) are completely disabled by default. To reproduce the bug:
- Load data
- Right click on a workspace and plot specturm
- Zoom controls don't work
At one point I was able to get around it:
- In the menus View->Preferences select Mantid
- Click the apply button
- Zoom controls are enabled again

Can you just check this on ubuntu, then we'll work out what to do.

I've had a play and I can't seem to reproduce it either. Time for a check of the code possibly to see when the controls get enabled/disabled to see if there is anything obvious?

This is an intermittent problem. It was fixed (I assumed that somebody actively did something), then broke, and now works again over the course of the two weeks it has been open.

I can confirm the same bug on my system: Ubuntu 10.10. Opening one of the Interfaces menu fixes it.

Did a lot of debugging but could not fix it. It looks like there is some bug in the way the MDI area is acting. In some cases, you end up with two MDI windows simultaneously having focus. Then neither window receives the WindowActivated signal it needs in order to activate the tools.. See my attached screenshot.

Hi Roman,
I just tried your changes and it looks like that fixed it, thanks a lot (that was an annoying bug)!
One thing I noticed though is that if you have no windows open, and right-click on a workspace and click "plot spectrum", the window that opens is not in the same document area as the other ones (it can go on top of toolbars), and the zoom/etc. buttons are disabled. I've attached a screenshot.
Thanks,
Janik

This ticket has been transferred to github issue 2805
I don't have this problem (checked on red hat, mac & windows). Ubuntu specific?
