Unfortunately the bug that occurs when holding down mousebutton on a window which is frequently updated, e.g. to change column width or to move a line up or down, is still present!
It has been reported so many times already and I think it also was reproduced at MikroTik, please fix it.
(back to version 3.21 where it still worked correctly)

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! What are you guys doing there??? No testing?

Got a new feature: It doesn't instantly crash, in either modes (if it shows APs or Clients) selecting one entry for about 20 seconds leads to a memory leak (WinBox starts eating memory and using 100% of one CPU core), freezes and it eventually disconnects from the router when it hits ~200MB of RAM used.
New feature! :)
Can I test the WinBox versions before release? I'll do it for free.

Do you also see the issue when dragging column width in a window with frequent updates (e.g. firewall filters, connections)?
It is a fatal problem for me but it appears to get little attention. Other users confirm it, and/or have been bitten by it.
So maybe you can test and report that as well?

Thanks for this improvement.

No issues with resizing columns in any of the windows, never had. Maybe your graphics driver or emulation thing if you're using wine.

I know you wrong once here but I do not understand what the bug is.
You need to have a router with a lot of activity on it. Then you open a screen which shows lots of items (firewall rules, open connections, etc) and which shows counters.
These counters will be frequently updated because of the activity.
Now, you put the mouse cursor on a column separator in the header and keep the mouse button pressed, because you want to change the size of the column.
In a version that works OK, you can now drag the column separator and the column width will follow it smoothly.
In a version 3.22 and higher, you will see that the column width changes whenever the counter update takes place. So the column changes width randomly, and when you release the mouse button you end up with column with another width than you want.

In the "firewall filter" window it is even worse, because there you can drag lines in the firewall up and down. When you press the mouse button on a line to prepare to drag it up or down, it will jump to a random location at the next counter update, and when you then release the mouse button you will change your firewall (because order of rules is important). You still have the opportunity to quickly drag the moved line to the original position when you see this happen, before you release the button. But it is a race between the counter updates and your mouse action.
Of course you can click "undo" after you inadvertently moved a rule to the wrong place, but when you have bad luck you can lock yourself out and will not be able to do that unless you had safe mode enabled.

I think it is an important bug. I use Linux and wine, but others have confirmed that the problem also occurs under Windows.

@pe1chl:我最active window with frequent updates would be firewall/connections but I can't see anything happening there.
And I can't imagine anything "fatal" happening in that window while resizing a column. What am I supposed to be looking for?
如果您使用的是Windows你可以查看你的鼠标actions using "Steps Recorder" maybe you're mouse is doing something weird :)
Example:
Step 1: (‎23.‎08.‎2021 12:19:46) User mouse drag start on "Firewall (pane)" in "admin@...
Step 2: (‎23.‎08.‎2021 12:19:50) User mouse drag end on "Firewall (pane)" in "admin@...
LE: ah, I see you're not using Windows. Sorry, don't have any GUI linux installs to test this.

I went from 3.27 to 3.29 so it was very tempting to make the step. Thanks for the new stuff making things easier especially the Windows button to find my lost windows.

@pe1chl: I cannot replicate this per say but I think the key here is traffic volume. As I use Fasttrack and do not have crazy number of session I do not see that much updates in the GUI. But I tested to reload a blocklist I have with over 80 000 entries which removes them and then reloads them and while that is running I most definitely experience lag in GUI and see a CPU spike on my PC for a few seconds. As this spike in CPU happens the mouse cursor stops moving and I cannot readjust. So I believe I can slightly reproduce the behavior but not the issue.

Its critical for me also, observed in Firewall filter and also route filters where position of a rule could be critical

I think the bug described by pe1ch is dependent on large updates in the GUI. I cannot replicate the issue either but I use fasttrack meaning GUI does not update that much. However if I do a large address list import I can sort of experience the issue but not with the same outcome.

I confirm, I get the same bug on my end.
Do you have a large screen? I am trying to setup an access to our router for MikroTik so they can try to reproduce it (although I really cannot believe the setup has anything to do with this, they keep insisting on it), but when I created a VPN and installed winbox 3.29 on a 1920x1080 laptop I cannot reproduce it there.
But on my 2560x1440 desktop system it immediately fails... completely unworkable on some screens.
All of them run Debian 10, with wine.
I'm really trying to find what is the way to reproduce it, as I really want to update winbox for the new features in this version (which I also have requested) and I also require it for testing 7.1rc1.
But tweaking column widths in this version is almost impossible for me, and modifying firewall rules is outright dangerous!

I would already be happy when the whole updating pauses during mouse-down, I do not need to see the counters and uptimes updated while I move things around.

In the Log window, the column width of the "Message" column is some arbitrary small value, and it is not saved in the session either.
Everytime I open the Log window (or when it is re-opened as part of a saved session on winbox startup) I need to resize the Message column to extend to the right of the window.
I think either the column width should be saved (as it is for all other windows) or better: the Message column should automatically be sized to use the remaining space in the Log window.
(I usually have a Log window full-sized as backdrop for all my work in winbox, so the window is quite large but half of it is not used unless I extend the Message column)

这是一个很好的更新!能够re-organisecolumns and the new column selector is a godsend! Along with the windows option for those busy busy troubleshooting sessions.

I have asked this before, and had it previously working - but is it possible in the main winbox view to have 'show categories' use the WHOLE field its sorted by rather than just first character? Specifically on the GROUP field for me - so I can have Client 1, Client 2, Client 3 groups all separate and not just all grouped together under 'C'

(I kind of get around this using numbers but it is cumbersome sometimes)

在我的桌面(原/ 1440 p)缺陷清单s itself every time.
On the desktop I use 6 monitors, if that plays any role.

So it seems it's resolution dependent. Good catch!

My desktop system has 2 monitors, a 2560x1400 where I am working and a 1920x1080 which in fact is my TV.
But at work I have only a single 1600x1200 monitor connected on the system which exhibits this behavior.
It is an Xtightvnc X server, that is different from what I have at home (where it is a normal server directly driving the videocard).
I will try some experiments later today to see if I can find what is the difference that triggers it...

Previously, when running Torch and double-clicking a line in the results, Torch was stopped and IP address under mouse cursor copied to corresponding field (src. or dst. address) where it was easily accessible. Now I can't repeat that. Is it WinBox 3.29 or my MacOS?..

Never knew about that capability in Torch. However just tried that in 3.29 on a Windows 10 PC, and it did not work.

Re: WinBox v3.29 released!

Tue Aug 24, 2021 7:16 pm

W.r.t. the "mouse dragging problem", I now have found that I can only reproduce it with an existing session file (.viw file) that exhibits the problem.
When I temporarily move that session file and start a session, then scale and position things the same as in the original setting, set the same filter, etc, it cannot be reproduced.
So that sort of confirms that it is either some setting in winbox that I previously made and did not make in the new session, or it is something in the session file that maybe got in there in an older version of winbox and not in the current one.
I have the issue on two different systems that do not share session files, and that connect to two different sets of routers.
Of course it would be no fun to start from scratch, setup all those things in the sessions, and then after a lot of work accidentally hit something that makes it come back again.
Oskars asked if I use "show categories" and while I sometimes use that, it is not enabled in the windows that exhibit the problem (like IP->firewall->filter), but it is in others like IP->firewall->address list. Toggling it on or off in a session that exhibits the problem does not make it change.

Send the problematic session file to MikroTik? maybe they can analyze it for whatever causes this? (and reproduce the issue on their end with your session file) ?:)

Yes, I attached one to my support ticket.

The best choice is to put the button every time in a random position, on that way, everytime we have to read what is written, instead of clicking like trained monkeys ...

Ok... The right way: use the same button for start/stop, just change role and text inside the button, like other thousand of other start/stop control interfaces.

Use the skin designer in WebFig to create a skin and assign it to a user's group. Just like in WebFig, now WinBox will use the skin as well.

@emils, PLEASE
is possible to have a full default.json with inside all text and all enabled to start a translation, instead to use webfig and try to click everywhere to find every possible translable field?

I share for alls my Italian translation when I done.

I keep hoping that one day MikroTik will put all winbox functionality in webfig so that we can maintain our routers without having to install winbox.
A separate service program (available for Windows and also native for Linux and MacOS) would serve as a relay for MAC access and Netinstall functions.
Everything now done by winbox (including having sub-windows, configurable columns etc) would be done in a web environment programmed in Javascript (e.g. NodeJS).
More and more equipment from other manufacturers is going this path... and often with very nice results.

Its also a lot of work and harder to maintain - I've built web-apps like this and inside the DOM there is no inherent (read: Good) window manager - there are some libraries out there, and there are oddities between different browsers in those libraries - I rolled my own and it fuckin suuuuuuucks to write and maintain events through the windows (in my case the windows are movable iframes with borders)

咆哮一边——我的观点是肯定的这可能是什么in future, but it is a BIG job and with existing competent cross platform management tools already available it would not (and should not) be a priority for their developers.

I prefer Winbox. I don't want another web-based app that will need 1-2GB of RAM to be able to run in the browser, break after browser updates and be slower at the same time.

HHAHHAHAHA it is the other way round actually.

Winbox 3.29 crashed like a few dozen times. I clear "%appdata/roaming/mikrotik/winbox". then it works for like a little time. then crash loops again.

Netfig the other hand. The used tech stack there is sooooooooo old. it has a beard to the floor long. BUT that makes it so stable after all. If your app works in Internet Explorer 11 - then it works in 99,99999999% of recent serious browsers. And webfig looks like it already ran in IE6 back in XP. So thats one of thr most battle-tested web-application on the f*** enterprise market or even the whole planet after all. yeah

Winbox as it is now. But note I wrote "I keep hoping that one day MikroTik will put all winbox functionality in webfig".
I have seen other web interfaces that come quite close to what winbox does, at most they are slower but functionally they are the same.
(i.e. multiple windows active at the same time, customizable layout of each window, "copy" functionality, etc)

Unfortunately the bug that occurs when holding down mousebutton on a window which is frequently updated, e.g. to change column width or to move a line up or down, is still present!
It has been reported so many times already and I think it also was reproduced at MikroTik, please fix it.
(back to version 3.21 where it still worked correctly)

UNBELIEVABLE!!!! What are you guys doing there??? No testing?
SUP-26372
If you are talking about resizing the column width, I have experienced that behavior too. Trying to resize columns in registration table of capsman gets crazy, and then behavior carries over to other windows of winbox, you need to close all instances of winbox to get it back to normal.

Always good to have another datapoint! Be careful, it also affects moving lines up or down in windows where that is supported, like the firewall filters and route filters.
When you encounter it there, it is more than a display issue, it can affect the function of the router.
In the meantime it looks like it is somehow stored in the "session file", the .viw file kept for each winbox session. Maybe it is related to session files created with an older winbox version? When I remove the session file I have difficulty re-creating the problem. But of course I don't like to do that because I lose all customizations done in winbox.

Thanks for this update, particularly the '*) allow changing column order by using drag and drop;'; something I wanted so badly as I was working over the weekend.

If I may add, from the UI design perspective, wouldn't it be better to have the 'Windows' menu item at the top level menu list together with the 'Session,' 'Settings,' and 'Dashboard' menu items? Then the 'Close All Windows' command under the 'Sessions' top-level menu item then be moved to under the new 'Window' meu item. Also 'Minimise All' and/or 'Arrange All' commands could be added for ease of use.

Previously, when running Torch and double-clicking a line in the results, Torch was stopped and IP address under mouse cursor copied to corresponding field (src. or dst. address) where it was easily accessible. Now I can't repeat that. Is it WinBox 3.29 or my MacOS?..
I have the same issue.

The best choice is in a random position, in this way every time we read what is written before clicking ...

Ok... The right way: use the same button for start/stop, just change role and text inside the button, like other thousand of other start/stop control interfaces.
I almost choked on my coffee reading your first suggestion.
Was that the Italian method?

I like the idea of your second suggestion, no possible room for error,
so if it the button says start one can assumed its stopped, if the button says stop, one can assume its started.
In general there is nothing more frustrated than having two polar opposite buttons close together on any interface ( classic save and delete )

Like the already existand Enable/Disable button on firewall filter, nat, interfaces, etc.



The worst is (I know the existance of safe mode)
"Remove" button under "Copy" on WinBox: too much close andDO NOT ASK CONFIRMATION

then

"Disable" button between "Apply" and just over "Comment" on WinBox: too much close andDO NOT ASK CONFIRMATION

then on SwOS

"Reset Configuration" button near to "Save Backup" on SwOS: too much close andDO NOT ASK CONFIRMATION


Why do not fix that?

Yes one would think that "L"ogical and "L"atvia both starting with the letter "L" would somehow ensure such changes need not be asked for. :-)
Perhaps if we were discussing "L"ikrotik products...................

For a one time bonus of $50,000 worth of Mikrotik equipment I will gladly conduct a small project to improve Mikrotik HF (MMI) design.
Sub contracted to you of course for $40,000 I only want $10,000 (EUROS of course). :-)

I ve noticed that as soon as you open Winbox, if there is for example the Log Window open, or anyother window, if you press the ESC button multiple times the Winbox will close too...
Which did not happen with the previous version...

I use saved sessions so that as soon as i enter winbox, certain windows are alreay open... Pressing multiple times the ESC button closes the Winbox itself...

I have a similar issue with the addition of Window button. This added button messes with my musclememory so when I want to start a new Winbox I now click Exit instead.
Can we not move the Exit button further down?

Yes, I would have expected (and preferred) the "windows" buttons to appear in the top bar next to "session". Maybe even as separate buttons until there are too many to fit, and then replace them with that single button that you need to expand first.

not later...
The problem如果你有一个保存的会话中没有出现但there is no window open as soon as you login...
But ifthere is already a window open, as soon as you login, and you press ESC it will exit from winbox... ( i do not mean to open a window when you login and then press ESC, am talking for a window that is already open when you logged in )

I ve tested from different computers to different devices... the behaviour is always the same...

W.r.t. the "mouse dragging problem", I now have found that I can only reproduce it with an existing session file (.viw file) that exhibits the problem.
Today I tested on a Windows 10 system and again when I copy the .viw file from the sessions directory from my Linux system to the Windows 10 system it immediately shows the same problem.
Copying the other files (settings.cfg.viw and Addresses.cdb) does not change anything, even with the "new" settings.cfg.viw and the copied .viw file in the sessions directory the problem is reproduced.

Chupaka that is priceless. You are amazing!!

Looks like I was mistaken, I used 3.29 on my beta firmware to check out my wireguard router and all the items including keys were exposed using hide-sensitive.. SInce I dont have wireguard on a regular firmware hard to test but will take the word of smarter folks than me that it works fine on regular firmware.
My apologies to the gui programmers, but I bet there are a few bottles at work stashed somewhere. ;-)

While we are discussing Winbox issues and improvements, it would be great to have the capability to (i) minimise the side bar to just the icons and (ii) expand to the icons + descriptive text, just like these left-hand sidebar examples from the new Chrome-based Windows Edge browser (also just like how it is in Google Cloud Console).

Screen 'real-estate' is at a real premium within a Winbox session when one is working with multiple sessions opened side-by-side on a small laptop screen, particularly in the field, or even on a medium-sized desk-top monitor.

Okay just a joke. Yes you are right it will slow people down, to ensure they make the right decision but that does not cut it in the real world which is make things more efficient and faster and logical.
Lets say you are an Italian fisherman whose boat is sinking, the water is rough and the Italian helicopter is approaching to drop you a life raft.
The operator is selecting the drop button but oops its not
a. on the top most menu quickly available for selection as one would expect
b. it is randomly placed in a 3 layer menu selection
c. it is randomly placed within a 10x20 matrix grid of buttons

OH NO, the helicopter dropped the life raft 1000metres away and the poor fisherman sinks below the waves.
But at least rextended the IT Networking guru is content that he got his wish and critical buttons were randomly placed.

Probably the fisherman is rescued from some immigrant boat...

正确的答案总是相同的:启动/ stop on same button...
The technology is already present like Simple Mode / Advanced Mode on Wireless interface...

Somethig is badly wrong with this version, everytime I try to add side widgets such as cpu load, memory load, current time, etc., the app closes itself from taskbar.
Also it happens 10-20% of times when trying to minimize the window to taskbar.
I've cleaned %appdata%/roaming/Mikrotik and I've also netinstalled my hap ac2 with 7.1rc2, there is a bug in the code I believe.

After all these crashes, the router remains with hanged sessions which are impossible to clear without a reboot:

icsterm, is this happening on v7.1rc2 or at least v7? I have already reported this behavior (SUP-58300, Stalled entries in active Winbox session list & wrong session removed from session list on logout) - reproduced and will be fixed. Not only after crashes, after all disconnects.

@nescafe2002
I only upgraded since 7.1rc1, it's an older bug for sure (I've not tested 3.28 nor previous 7.x builds).
Couting my sessions it seems that indeed, disconnecting does not clear active sessions.

Okay I have no problems WinBox 3.29 connecting to 6.48.3, that's why I think it's related to v7.

*) added separate "Show Columns" window for list of visible columns;
It would be nice if we could scroll down the list ...

Or better when it would use multiple columns to fit everything without scrolling, when possible.

The best choice is to put the button every time in a random position, on that way, everytime we have to read what is written, instead of clicking like trained monkeys ...

Request delay on start. I have happening when I double click the line in the list of devices in Winbox that I often happens that the second click also clicks a menu button on the left in main Winbox screen. The result is that for example theMake support.rifor any other button that is positioned under the mouse cursor.

Almost all applications use tabs, I wonder why not here :-)
Or you could put the Exit button at the bottom, and Windows just below New WinBox. You could also consider better optimization when using Zoom In, for example I use Zoom in to the maximum.
Also the scroll seems to remain a mystery in the application (in certain areas only), this makes me sad :-(

It's a plus anyway, but I know you can do a lot more! I greet you!

Hi.
I found an issue in winbox 3.29. when you upload a file into "File List" window into some directory, file name comes with full path. but when you change the file's directory it will remain the same. unless you reopen the "File List" window.

in my test i changed un-befor-migration.tar file into skins and returning back to rook directory.

and also confirmingviewtopic.php?f=1&t=178341#p878254

When will built-in "Manual" section be directed to new documentation page? If open TOC in "Manual" window and click the link to new documentation page in it, Winbox just crashes...
