Octoprint: Can't switch to hidden tabs

[gege2b]

Hi there, again

What were you doing?

• trying to access a hidden tab (Octolapse in this case, but could be anyone)
• click on the three-bars menu on the right corner and on octolapse tab
• the octolapse panel show up really quickly and then disapear
• tried to click on the "octolapse" button in the navbar, idem
• Reduced the page zoom by some percent so the tab is displayed on the tab bar
• tried again and the panel is finally displayed

What did you expect to happen?

The panel to show up normally

What happened instead?

Look at this screen cap, more useful than a long text
octoprint2.zip

Note : I think the problem appeared on a recent commit (not older than a month) because all was fine when I installed octolapse at the end of march

Did the same happen when running OctoPrint in safe mode?

yes but I had to cheat a little bit so there is at least one tab hidden : Using the Firefox dev tool, I shrinked the tab's div ( class="tabbable span8" ) to 500px so the "timelapse" tab is being hidden
And then the problem was the same

If I shrink even more the div, more tabs get hidden and the problem occurs on every one of them

Link to octoprint.log

not sure it would help :
octoprint.log

Link to contents of terminal tab or serial.log

n/a

Link to contents of Javascript console in the browser

in the firefox console there is only two things concerning octoprint about mixed active content being blocked :

Blocage du chargement du contenu mixte actif (mixed active content) « http://prusa.home:5000/static/vendor/font-awesome-3.2.1/fonts/fontawesome-webfont.woff?v=3.2.1 »[En savoir plus]  vendor.0c31c91b2f.js:37:69967

The javascript console is not very usefull :

I have read the FAQ.

Additional info² : Tested with microsoft Edge and the problem is the same (except the glich is not visible, but the anchor in the adress bar briefly changes and revert back)

Problem is caused by a sanity check in the hash switch function which is supposed to not allow switching to (invisible) tabs for which the permissions are lacking. Sadly that also triggers for tabs that are invisible due to not fitting into the tab bar. Need to find a workaround for that...

Hi Gina

What about adding some data-* attribute on the hidden tab's div, and rely on that to know wheither or not the corresponding panel can be shown ?

something like data-authorized="no|yes" or whatever ?

[foosel]

Tricky since that would require a whole ton of modifications also in plugins for it to work. But I might just have found another solution, just testing out some stuff.

Fixed I think by the above commit, at least I cannot reproduce it anymore and based on my own understanding of how it could happen it also should not be possible to happen anymore. Thanks for reporting this!

[gege2b]

I just updated my OP instance and I can't reproduce it too, so I guess it's definetly OK

thank YOU for this amazing software and all the work you do on it
