can't reopen popup

[GDreyV]

I faced a problem hope you can help me. I have extension with popup.
Here is description for popup:

<UI>
    <Type>Modeless</Type>
    <Lifecycle>
        <AutoVisible>false</AutoVisible>
    </Lifecycle>
    ...
</UI>

popup is opened in pretty simple way:

var cs = new CSInterface();
cs.requestOpenExtension("my.extension.popup");

When I close popup and try to reopen it everything works fine. But if I close main panel while popup is opened popup is closed automatically and I it can't be reopened after panel is started again. Do you have any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks

In the popup extension's manifest, you set false. Do you do anything to make it visible in the extension's code? Maybe you should set AutoVisible to true. Thanks

As I understand AutoViible makes sense only for Panel items to make them opened or closed by default.
Anyway I checked true and false for AutoVisible with different values for StartOn Event and behavior was the same.
To make popup visible I just call requestOpenExtension in main panel.

Are your panel and modeless dialog contained in a bundle e.g. defined in the same manifest file similar to our Test Extension (https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/Samples/blob/master/CEP_HTML_Test_Extension/CSXS/manifest.xml) or delivered separately?

If you download our Test Extension and attempt to launch your modeless dialog (CS APIs > Open/Close Extension > Get All Extensions) and then complete the above workflows, do you see the same behaviour?

[GDreyV]

Thanks for example. Yes, I managed to reproduce it:
Run CEP HTML Panel 1;
choose CSXS APIs;
then Open/Close Extension;
click Get All Extensions and run CEP HTML Test Modeless Dialog;
close CEP HTML Test Panel 1 (just opened CEP HTML Modeless Dialog will be closed automatically);
try to do the same once again. I didn't manage to reopen CEP HTML Test Modeless Dialog.

Can you confirm your environment setup so we can investigate it further:
Mac/Windows? OS version?
Adobe Application and version?
Thanks.

Hi. I can confirm that I see this behaviour so thank you for reporting it. I will look to get this fixed in a future release.

If the popup dialog is simple, you can try to use a pure JavaScript dialog, rather than a separate modeless CEP extension.

[GDreyV]

Yeah, the point of the modeless popup was ability to work with both panels and reflect changes. As temporary workaround I'm using modal dialog. It's not really user friendly and what I was looking for but it's still better than nothing :)

Thanks for help! Hope this issue will be resolved soon :)

This bug will be fixed in next version of CEP. Thanks

This bug should have been fixed in Photoshop CC 2015 November release.
