I just tested it on Win 7 enterprise and it appears to work just fine.

clicked the (x) at the top right and it closed first try. I was also able to hit Esc key.

build 894

Can you share a screen shot?

Here is a screenshot. Please note that my mouse was over the X button and that did not change button color (blue on mouseover). It's change to blue on mouseover after moving window.

And thank you for the ESC tip !

Ok good info. We'll get to the bottom of this.

Thanks for the report! I have opened a bug in our bug tracker.

I have the same issue in Windows 7; seems to happen only after the project has been open for a while.

I see the same under Windows XP with Architect 2.2.0.
The same happens in several other windows, like trying to drag and drop a component from root to some branch.
There is the popup for Move, Copy, and Link. It is not possible to press on anything else but Move.

We have a solution for this and it will be in the next patch. The issue is that some users don't have DirectX 9 installed and our growl notification uses css animations. Sencha Desktop packager and Chrome both hardware accelerate these animations using DX on Windows and when it's not there they don't show (see screenshot for what should happen when you save). Newer versions of Windows install an appropriate version of DX by default.

Typically the animation occurs and on animation end we clean up the growl message and so under normal conditions the pane that holds them is a 0px by 0px div and does not get in the way.

The fix will be 2 fold:

1. Make the growl pane that holds potential growls have no pointer events and thus users can click through them.

pointer-events:none;

2. Install DX if the user doesn't have it in our installer

Current workaround(s):

1. Install Direct X 9 -- http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...ils.aspx?id=35

or

2. Make Architect viewport have more width so dialogs don't overlap with this pane and get "covered up"

Apologies
We know there has been some regressions with 2.2 and mainly that's due to the new platform we're using. After we address the issues reported by the community things should smooth out. Thanks for working through this with us.

Also note that Architect 2.1 and 2.2 can be installed side by side simply by changing the install location in the installer to something different for the 2nd install (don't overwrite)

Hi Phil !
Thanks for investigating on this.
Unfortunately I think I have some bad news :

I have DirectX 11 installed on my Win7 Pro 64bits platform
Architect is fullscreen opened (1920 x 1200) and Inspector/toolbox both reduced to minwidth

Note : I do not have any "Project successfully saved" message when saving my project
