"Layout is Ambiguous" / The purple windows

jm.torres92

I know it's a beta, but is there a way to dismiss these "Layout is ambiguous" messages that surround the window with a purple hue? I imagine it's for debugging purposes and would love to turn it off. Screenshot.

Hi @jm.torres92

I'm not seeing that on my screen. What does it say when you click that "why am I seeing this purple window" section in the upper right?

Please let us know.

Hi @Ben,

Here's what I'm seeing: https://cl.ly/0m3g40313k30/Image 2018-03-28 at 12.37.22 PM.png

Thanks. In speaking with our development team it appears this is an issue they are aware of. I don't have a workaround to suggest at the moment, but hopefully we can get that taken care of soon.

Thanks for taking the time to report it. :+1:

Hi @jm.torres92 ,

This is a known issue that we will be getting fixed up really soon, and will look into a way of turning off the purple window. We believe it happens in cases where Watchtower flagged an item. If you did not have a watchtower notification on an item (even if it was a previously viewed item), please let us know.

Cheers,
Kevin

@Ben @ag_kevin thanks. I was actually just going to follow up that it appeasrs to happen when I went into WatchTower, as I have things flagged there currently. Thanks for your quick responses! I'll avoid it for the time being.

Ben

You're very welcome. :)

Just a +1 from me. I get this immediatley I open v7. It also stops some functionality and when I close the app it stays and have to force quit from Activity Monitor.

Ben

Thanks @rctneil.

I'm seeing the purple window Frame on a regular basis. I read the Help entry that describes why/when it happens, but I'm still unsure about what I should do about it. It looks to me like it's a debugging tool for the developers, but us as users can't do much with it. Do you want detailed reports about the Purple Windows?

PS: the anti-spam feature is a bit aggressive when a new major beta just comes out… I've been banned for posting for some time because I apparently created too many topics :->

@cortig - Please click the Log to Console button and send it along with an email to support+forum@agilebits.com. Make sure to include a link to this thread so we can “connect the dots.” Thanks! :)

Ben

This is a known issue. I've merged your thread with another on the same subject, @cortig. Please see above. No need to email the report at this time.

Any estimation of a beta 2 release date? Beta 1 is absolutely unusable for me with this issue. It all fails to quit properly too and I get at least 20 different 1Password 7 processes when running and after managing to quit the main window.

Ben

I don't have an estimate at this point.

Clicked on overlapping visualized constraints: (
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x60000029fd10 OPDetailAlertAbbreviatedView:0x6000003529b0.height == 22   (active)> (Actual Distance - pixels):44",
    "<NSLayoutConstraint:0x6000004842e0 OPCustomButton:0x6000001bb4a0'Vulnerability Alert - Change Password\U2026'.height == 14   (active)> (Actual Distance - pixels):44"
)

I am going to fix these passwords tonight, but I will duplicate an entry and keep the vulnerable one around for testing.

Thanks for moving my post! I searched for "ambiguous" but the search came up with tons of pages on Android, etc, and didn't see this post.

Ben

Great, thanks @sriggins. :)

This definitely appeared for me only after I selected Security Audit in the sidebar and had items visible there. What's even more disturbing is that there appears to be no way to get rid of it. Even when I'm able to close the "purple window" if I quit the 1Password app altogether it reappears and stays visible on the screen.

Ben

Thanks, @OAW. We’re aware and hope to have a fix for beta 2.

Ben

Ben

And almost sooner than I could type it beta 2 is out. Please update and let us know if you’re still having trouble.

Ben

Ben

Apologies — we had to pull beta 2 due to an issue in deployment. :frown: With any luck it will be available tomorrow morning.

I am getting that also. Had to go back to 6 for now as this was happening too frequently

cipherwar

I had the same purple screen. Was happening too often so had to go back to 6 for now.

Ben

Hi @cipherwar

Could you please try beta 3 and let us know if this issue persists?

@Ben Can you provide a link updating from 1password 7b1 crashes for me.

Ben

Sure: https://c.1password.com/dist/1P/mac7/1Password-7.0.BETA-3.pkg

gzagas

@ben Thanks. Get some sleep.

Ben

Heh, thanks. I'll try. But I'm having a ton of fun! :) Sincerely. This beta is so exciting.

I just got this in beta 5 (the first beta I've installed)

I then closed 1PW & ran the following in the console:
defaults delete com.agilebits.onepassword4-updater NSConstraintBasedLayoutVisualizeMutuallyExclusiveConstraints

Restarted 1PW a couple times, so far so good...
