When working on a workflow, occasionally when moving a node, the node moves but when let go it moves back. Problem is the software thinks the node is at the moved location, but you cannot click on it. So visibly the node is in one location, but the software thinks it is in another location. Making the node impossible to interact with. Only restarting Knime solves the issue.
I cannot replicate but happens often; 3 or 4 times a day.
Knime 5.1
Windows 11 Business
Version 22H2
OS build 22621.2283
Thanks for the logs and the video, they are very useful.
We have tried to reproduce this problem internally, but so far we have not been successful.
Would it be possible to share the workflow and the exact interaction you implemented to run into this problem? Are there other workflows that are broken? Or always the same workflow, always the same data?
You suspect that the aspect ratio has something to do with this problem, why do you think this? Have you tried other aspect ratios and you only experience this problem at 21:9 ?
It will happen on any workflow and once you restart Knime it resolves itself. So not sure what sending a workflow will accomplish.
The interaction is just me trying to move 1 or more nodes.
I just brought up the aspect ratio thing because it is the only non-standard thing about my vanilla Dell workstation.
Ultimately, because the nodes move when selected, the mapping of the location in video memory is not the same as what it is in the configuration. Somehow, they are out of sync.
I think if you want to see this in action, I will have to contact you when this is happening, and review it over a Teams call.
Actually I have seen something similar with the new interface on 5.1.0 and 5.1.1.
Moving a node sometimes just does not ’take’, especially if another node is executing. It then suddenly moves, but not to the correct location. Links are sometimes then hanging in empty space, not moving with the node.
Switching to the classic ui and back resolves the situation for me.
I’m encountering the same issue, nodes aren’t responsive when trying to move them and then they will suddenly jump around into different positions, additionally they can’t be selected either, it’s making the new UI unusable unfortunately. I’ve tried the suggested fix above and this hasn’t worked unfortunately.
Thank you for your valuable feedback! And so sorry to come back to you so late!
In the meanwhile we have discussed this issue internally and I have got some tips on where to troubleshoot further this case. Some of us had already seen something similar weird behaviour but never had a chance to reproduce it.
Could you please help us and check the following Plug-ins and Installed Software versions on you application (where this issue occurs)? (You can find this in Help/About KNIME Analytics Platform/Installations Details)
Using 5.1.2 now, I think the issue still exists, but it seems like the interface is recovering which is good because don’t need to switch to legacy UI and back to fix/reset but I wouldn’t consider the issue resolved. I just feel like the UI is just constantly resetting itself rather than handling the issue properly. So, behavior now is more like Node gets moved, UI misinterprets the placement, then resets itself and lets user try again. IMHO, this behavior is very annoying and if you want people to switch to modern UI it should be resolved.
