Previous form visible after I navigate to a new screen and form.

Posted on by iwalker

I have a custom app and up until a week or two ago it was working perfectly. The app has five screens and three have forms for each that I navigate through using a button and patch function. Lately, I've noticed without me making any changes, that once I navigate to the next screen, a portion of the right side of the previous screen lingers in the background. Sometimes it's a large portion, and sometimes it is not. Today the portion is not so bad, but sometimes it can be about an inch or two, see attached. I've even widened the screens to take up the same space, where possible, but there is still an issue. The two screens with only buttons and/or galleries don't seem to have the issue. Any suggestions?

Hi iwalker,

Usually nothing from the previous screen lingers on after you have navigated. A few questions: Could this be a one off issue? Also, are other users facing this issue? Could this be a display monitor / laptop issue? I would suggest doing some testing on other devices to get answers to these.

I am assuming these are three different forms on three separate screens. If yes, then there is no need for you to perform the next steps but doing this might minimise the issue. Here are a few things to try:

1. Make sure the width of all forms is same

For this, you can use the Form1's width for Form2 and Form3.

Form1 Width: 600

Form2 Width: Form1.Width

Form3 Width: Form1.Width

2. Make sure the X and Y values are also aligned

For this, you can use the Form1's X and Y values

Form1 X: 20

Form2 X: Form1.X

Form3 X: Form1.X

Form1 Y: 80

Form2 Y: Form1.Y

Form3 Y: Form1.Y

This would ensure that all three forms are the same size and are in the same position. Even if something from previous screen lingers on then should be hidden behind the form.

Hope this helps.

Kind regards,

Nandit

@Nandit,

Thanks for your response! But, you might have missed the part of my message where I adjusted the sizes, where possible, to match. It did not help. It's like it decreases the active form's width just to show the previous one. This is something that just started happening within the last two weeks. I thought it was temporary, so I didn't worry about it. This is not and has not happened with any other apps I created. I was hoping it was a google chrome issue, but it also occurs on Edge. The only time it works as expected is when I test using my mobile phone. However, the actual users will not be using phones to access the app.
