Pasted items are arranged in inverted sequence and results in hidden items

[GS1]

Hi all,

I am working with TouchGFX Version 4.22.1 Designer.

When copying some items and paste them in another screen, the arrangement is inverted. Then e.g. a background rectangle covers a text element and therefore is not seen any longer.

I have to manually rearrange all items after copy/paste.

Is there a possibility to disable rearranging the pasted items?

This is a very nasty action as I often have to reuse a designed screen with a lot of overlayed items. Then I only have to change some items only. Rearranging then 20+ items is not a nice job...

Would be perfect to change this behavior so that rearranging is not necessary after the paste.

Thank you.

BR GS.

Hello @GS1 ,

Unfortunately, there are no options to disable the rearrangement. We will try to fix this issue, but for now there is a bit messy solution which is to open you TouchGFX project in a code editor like VS Code or Notepad++, and copy your items from there into to the screens you want. Every screen is a JSON so it would be easy to move items around.

I hope this helps you
