Bug? Text on action/condition in flow editor is not updated

[kintrupf]

The descriptive text of an action or condition in the flow is often not updated after editing an action or condition.
Example: when editing the Execute flow action and changing the executed flow from "A" to "B" the action would still display flow "A" after the action editor is closed.
Closing the flow and re-opening it would then display the correct flow "B" in the action text.

I'm using the current EAP version 1.24.0-dev, but I guess this minor bug is at least present since one or two previous versions.
I do not know if it is present in the "regular" version from the Play Store.

Does the name in the action update properly while you are editing the action? When the error happens and you select/deselect the action in the flow and move the action around, does the name update?
Did you enable some kind of developer options under system settings->Developer options (maybe Force GPU rendering)?

This is a bug in the regular AM too. It often happens to me. I usually open and save the action a couple of times to get it right.But it is annoying, you get confused. I have no special developer settings. it changes when you write it, but when you have saved/exited the action the name is still the old one.I will try to see what happens when I select/deselect or move the action around next time it happens.

Also another thing, which I don't understand. When I want to select a flow to execute triggered from another flow, sometimes there are duplicates of several flows in the list of flows, even if I only have one flow with that name. How does this happen? What am I doing wrong? Also, then I don't know which flow to check, since the names are identical and I just have one flow with that name.

I have no idea how the same flow could show up multiple times in this list. What device and Android ROM are you using? Could you send a screenshot the next time this happens, maybe a screenshot will help me to determine what exactly happens, but the list should definitely contain each flow only once. It would not really matter which flow you would select, since it's the name of the flow that determines which flow will be executed.

When the action name in the flow does not update, does the flow execute the correct action or does Automagic crash? Could you please also check what happens when you press back to go to the flow list and then open the flow again?

Will do. I was actually about to do it yesterday, but then I was too tired

This is how it looks. Notice the " " . When I see this, I know the flow will be shown twice in the list of flows, if I reopen the list, even if there was only one flow when I checked it. I think I have tried every option with renaming, overwrite and so on to see if that would help. The screen shots are taken on a stock Samsung S3, but it happens on my stock S4 as well.

Thanks for the screenshots.
This happens when you have two flows, one called 'Bil Slutpunkt' and a second one with a trailing space called 'Bil Slutpunkt '. Automagic does not prevent that you create two flows that only differ in one trailing space.
The list to select the flows also displays the two flows but will surround the one with the trailing space with double quotes since this is the proper way to define an entry containing a space in a comma separated list.

Could you please check in the flow list that you have indeed two such flows?

[angelatwork]

Sorry, I do not have a second flow with the same name (with or without trailing space or dot). Just checked it. It it's on my husband's phone whet there aren't that many flows yet

[angelatwork]

Any other suggestions?

[Martin]

Could you please send the flows file to me by mail (on the flow list: menu->Manage->Log, menu->Send Log, answer Yes and send by mail to info@automagic4android.com)?
Did you ever write "Bit Slutpunkt " manually into the execute flows action? In this case Automagic would also offer the selection in the list.
