BUG: ComboBox Object

[lib]

Create new AMS project. Place this code on page event "On Show":

-- new combo properties
tNEWCOMBO = {};
tNEWCOMBO.ComboStyle = DROPDOWN_LIST;
tNEWCOMBO.Sort = false;
tNEWCOMBO.LinesToDisplay = 7;
tNEWCOMBO.FontName = "Segoe UI";
tNEWCOMBO.FontSize = 9;
tNEWCOMBO.FontStrikeout = false;
tNEWCOMBO.FontUnderline = false;
tNEWCOMBO.FontAntiAlias = false;
tNEWCOMBO.FontItalic = false;
tNEWCOMBO.FontWeight = FW_NORMAL;
tNEWCOMBO.FontScript = DEFAULT_CHARSET;
tNEWCOMBO.BackgroundColor = 16777215;
tNEWCOMBO.TextColor = 0;
tNEWCOMBO.ReadOrder = READ_STANDARD; -- or false
tNEWCOMBO.Enabled = true;
tNEWCOMBO.Visible = true;
tNEWCOMBO.X = 10;
tNEWCOMBO.Y = 10;
tNEWCOMBO.Width = 100;
tNEWCOMBO.ResizeLeft = false;
tNEWCOMBO.ResizeRight = false;
tNEWCOMBO.ResizeTop = false;
tNEWCOMBO.ResizeBottom = false;
tNEWCOMBO.TooltipText = "";
tNEWCOMBO.ObjectName = "NewCombo";
-- creating new combo object
Page.CreateObject(OBJECT_COMBOBOX, tNEWCOMBO.ObjectName, tNEWCOMBO);
-- redraw area
Page.Redraw();

Then launch Windows Task Manager and look at excessive workload of your processor cores. One of of them will be at 100% limit of its capabilities.

This situation does not depend of User Privilege Level.

OS: Windows 7 x64
AMS ver. 8.0.7.0

Please post your exported project. If this is indeed the only thing you are doing, then I cannot replicate the issue at all.

I can confirm this bug, code is pasted in on show of a fresh empty project, I run it
and it fully consumes one of my cores.



Windows 7 Professional, x64 on a Dual-core i7 (Haswell) with hyperthreading enabled (thus 4 virtual cores).

Thanks for the confirmation - I logged this to be looked into.

Bas, just to make sure - did you use AutoPlay Media Studio 8.0.7 as well, or did you get the problem with the current version? I could replicate this with the outdated version, but not with the 8.2.

Ah that must be the problem, the issue arises with version 8.0.2.0 for me. It is probably fixed in 8.2 then! My bad!

fwiw: no issues at my end with AMS v8.1.0.0 either
