Visual Programmer Process flow view resets after exiting a node

Hi all,

I'm using 'Visual Programmer' in SAS Studio 3.7.1 using Chrome Version 66.0.3359.117 (Official Build) (32-bit). This is purely a usability issue. I've checked all of the available resources and I don't find it addressed so I'm hoping someone here knows if there's a solution.

I have process flows in 'Visual Programmer' that are very wide and require horizontal scrolling to get to many of the nodes. The issue occurs when I exit one of the nodes located past the screens edge. I scroll to the right to find the node I want to work on. I right click it to open and perform whatever I need to do. I then 'exit' the node using the breadcrumbs in the upper left hand corner of the view (see the attachment for a screenshot) and the process flow view immediately resets back to it's home position, putting the node I was working on out of view and requiring me to scroll back to it.

This may sound like a trivial problem, but it's extremely cumbersome when working with a very large and complex flow.

Does anyone know how I can prevent this from happening?

Thank you all in advance.

John Ashby

Hi @joeysunshine

Unfortunately this is a known defect that will be addressed in a future release. I do apologize for this less-than-delightful experience.

May I ask how many nodes you have so that I can mimic this in our development environment?
