[FIXED] Glyph transformer parameter change not updated

Post by jamadagni »

Steps to reproduce:
Select a glyph. Open the glyph transformer from Tools menu. Add Effects > Thin (just an example). You see parameters in a pane in the lower half of the dialog. Change one of the parameters. Say change vertical parameter of Thin to 100. Move to a different field.

Expected result:
This change should be reflected in the right-side pane of the dialog box so that it now displays "Thin(*,100)" [* = whatever horizontal value].

Actual result:
This change is not reflected until we press OK or until we add some other effect.

Comments:
One wishes to see the set of changes listed on the right pane before applying them. Updating the right pane only when we hit OK is inappropriate. Of course, as noted above even if we add some other effect, the params of the first effect in the right pane is updated, but this is also inappropriate as one should not be required to enter an effect (and then delete it) just to get the update of the first effect's params.
