ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
The binding event for the clear buttons seems to have been wired in a way that makes them less useful than they should be, maybe even useless, and differs from how the mouse interactions work. The other buttons on the units work well.

Only long presses (animations) are available for the CLR button. One for the short press, and one for the long press function.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Every time, and in every aircraft using the default templates for the GNS units.

REPRODUCTION STEPS

Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:

  1. Map the CLR button with the b-events, or execute the button from the ‘behaviour’ window in developer mode.

EXPECTED BEHAVIOR, IDEALLY:

AS530_Clr_Push: should just push the button in (animation)

AS530_Clr_Release: should release the button (animation) and activate short press (if long press has not been activated)

AS530_Clr_Push_Long: should activate long press (no animation), if the button has been pressed in for enough time to trigger long press

AS530_Clr_Release: should release the button (animation only), if long press has been activated

IF IDEAL BEHAVIOR IS NOT POSSIBLE, SUGGESTED WORKAROUND SOLUTION:

  • B-event for pushing in the button, animation and sound, without any functionality

  • B-event for releasing the button, animation and sound, without any functionality

  • Functionality can be added by the user with the included h-events for the CLR-button, while using the b-event for animation and sound.
