I'm not sure this is a bug at all. If there's been a change of behavior, can you narrow down when it appeared?
|
how is this not a bug? the overlay does not go invisible but the icon itself does? definitely a change in behavior ill have to narrow that down somehow
| |
If the overlay doesn't inherit the icon state, then it isn't expected to change. The main icon going invisible for lack of a matching state however is a potentially valid situation.
| |
seems incredibly silly to make the icon go invisible, when it definitely did not in the past, for any period of time. and why is the flick even happening for a few seconds if the state doesnt exist

This isn't valid behavior because it's entirely inconsistent. For example, if Zagros' icon_state only had one direction when calling flick on an invalid icon_state, it would not disappear. This also does not happen when an atom's default icon_state is not an empty string. | |

I don't recall it ever being different. | |
ah maybe it didn't happen in the past. I think my project is just convoluted enough now where this bug is noticeable now
