Error description

  • In RDi v9.6.0.12 there is a menu action Resequence All Lines
    under Source on the main menu bar when editing a source member,
    which can be used to evenly renumber the sequence numbers of the
    source lines of the member being edited.
    
    In RDi this action now sets the editor view to incorrectly
    indicate there are no outstanding edit changes to save; which
    further causes the Save icon on the main toolbar to be greyed
    out and disabled. It incorrectly does this even if there were
    unsaved changes before resequencing.
    
    It should be leaving the editor in un-saved state if it already
    was, and setting un-saved state if there were any resequence
    changes to make.
    
    Note: There is a preference under Remote Systems LPEX Editor for
    the resequence settings.  Resequence lines at save can also be
    turned on there to automatically resequence with every editor
    save, which would alleviate any need to manually request a
    resequence.
    
    Workaround:
    Type a few spaces in the editor to once again change the editor
    to un-saved or dirty state after invoking the Resequence All
    Lines action.
