CIQ VM Issue: Flicker when transitioning [via slide] from menu to second menu

dbrobert
Environment:
- MacOS 10.12.4
- Eclipse Neon.3, plug-in 2.2.3
- SDK 2.2.5

Detailed description of the issue:

When doing a slide transitioning from one menu to another (via a menu option),

Steps to reproduce the issue:

I will try and generate a small project for this today. However, in the mean time you can see this in action if you install my METAR/TAF widget -- https://apps.garmin.com/en-CA/apps/99cfcc6b-5569-4e2d-9c4a-d0d946358a76

1. Run the widget (must be connected to BLE and be in a place where you can get a GPS location)
2. After seeing the four nearest stations displayed (at Garmin HQ it will be KOJC, KIXD, KMKC, KMCI), press "Start" button to enter the widget (view will change to nearest station details).
3. Then press "Start" button again to bring up the main menu, which nicely slides in.
4. Scroll down to "Use Nearest"
5. Press the "Start" button to select and be taken to another menu with the expanded list of the nearest stations.

When you press the start button you see a flicker during which time you briefly see the underlying station details view. You can press the back button to return to the main menu and repeat as necessary. This only happens during the push to the new menu, not when you pop back to the main menu.


Additional information:

I originally noticed this during testing on my D2 Bravo and figured it might be simply a result of the slower processing power. However, this also happens on my high-speed, low-drag fēnix 5 so I don't think it's a speed thing.


Code sample to reproduce the issue:

    dbrobert,

    I need to apologize. I saw this one when it was reported and was going to wait on a code sample, but I lost it in the shuffle of the forums. I grabbed your widget off the store and was able to reproduce it reliably. I have created a ticket for the team to look at. Again, I apologize for the delay.

    Thanks,

  • Hi Coleman,

    No worries! It's my fault too as I forgot about the fact that I promised a code sample. I will try and find time to do that today to make testing easier (and to confirm it's not related to something I doing in my widget). Plus I don't want my widget download numbers/stats artificially inflated by all the engineers downloading it. :)

    Cheers,
    Douglas
  • I just pushed a new version of my METAR/TAF widget, which I compiled with SDK 2.3.1 and the flicker seems to be fixed, on both my D2 Bravo and Fenix 5. So whatever was causing the issue (all signs seem to point to the compiler?) is no longer resulting in any flicker.

    Cheers,
