Not possible to clear pin assignment for SpiceLibComp

[ra3xdh]

This issue is related to MacOS only. Linux and Windows are not affected. It is not possible to clear pin assignment for new SpiceLibComp Spice library device after redesign #679. See #792 for context. Here are two screencasts illustrating the table behavior on MacOS and Linux. It seems that QTableWidget::setCellWidget works differently on different platforms. I am unable to fix this issue myself, need to wait for someone using Mac.

*Linux (correct)

• MacOS wrong

I will tried to fixed this issue. I download the same schematic lm335 symbol pin selection is behaving like a text box. selecting all NC give 4 pin but sometimes I double clicked text become 1NC and 1 is became invisible for the other selectin box. I will upload a video later.

windows build also affected. Tested on win11.

I tested on Ubuntu 24.04 wsl2 also same issue.

Yes, I understood how to reproduce this.

• Click on cell, drop-down list appears.
• Don't select anything and double click on the next cell
• The drop down list remains to hang in the previous cell

If you select NC from the drop-down list, it disappears and releases pin.

Please check #824 for the fix

I tested windows and works as expected. I'll test on macOS as soon as possible.

this is macOS test pin selection OK but some rendering artifact ex 1NC or NC but intertwined.

I don't know why MacOS inserts random unicode symbols after "N". I didn't add anything in the item string. Maybe Qt has registered some auto-conversion for "NC" string. What is your locale setting?

English(US) I think it writes NC twice but starting on C N(CN)C

Please try the following patch. It clears item text before setCellWidget call.

I am not accessing my mac right now but I'll try. (about 5 hours)
