The highly anticipated Alteryx Community tradition is back! We hope you'll join us!
Learn MoreIf I have a flow running, and a browse from the early portion of the flow finishes, so I click the link the in the results pane to take a peek at the records, that window will sometimes be in a place where it covers the "Flow Complete" dialog box that pops up when a flow finishes. So now that dialog box is the active Alteryx window, but I can't click OK, because it's covered by the browse window, which I can't close, because non of its buttons are clickable, because the other dialog box is active. In older versions, I used to be able to hit spacebar to 'click' OK in the dialog box, but that no longer works. So now I have to use Task manager to force close Designer, which, as you can imagine, is not ideal.
I know I should just move the browse window before the flow finishes, but I'm clearly not good at doing that, and this used to not be an issue because there was a way around it, and I don't want to disable the "flow complete" dialog entirely. Does anyone have a way around this since the 2018.4 update when the look of the UI changed? I'd appreciate it greatly.
Thanks!
Hi Justin,
Could you please share a screenshot of the error?
Hi Jacob,
It isn't really an error message that pops up. And I'm not sure a screenshot would really show much. I know how to duplicate it, but I don't want to do it at this moment, because it messes with my workflow. I'll reply back in a bit when I can get a screenshot. Thanks!
Here's the best I've got. So my browse window in this screen shot is right at the same spot the dialog box pops up. So now I can't get to that to click "ok". And have to open windows task manager to kill Alteryx.
We were able to replicate this error on multiple computers, and I believe it's a bug. I don't think it can be remedied through settings modification. I would recommend reporting this to support@alteryx.com, since I haven't encountered this error before this version.
Sounds good, I will do that. Thanks, Jacob!
Hi Justin,
I just wanted to mention that from my experience as well as others dealing with this issue, using task manager is still the best way of getting around it. However I would suggest using task manager to stop just the browse window associated with the Alteryx instance rather than the program overall.
A defect has been created, and this issue should be solved in a future update...
