text layers don't sync correctly when deleted

[ianleighton]

Steps:
1 I created a group with 5 text labels, named and in something like this arrangement:

$label        $yetanotherlabel   $label2
$otherlabel                      $otherlabel2

(sorry, can't get GFM tables to work)
2 name the group "group : row"
3 copy the group multiple times (4 or so)
4 delete $label2 and $otherlabel2 from one of the groups

$label             $yetanotherlabel
$otherlabel 

5 sync

Unexpected Result:
instead of $label2 and $otherlabel2 being deleted, $yetanotherlabel was deleted, and $label2 was moved into its place, so instead of the expected result of step 4, we have :

$label           $label2
$otherlabel

The dynamic layer sync is undergoing a rewrite for the next release. Hopefully it will resolve the issue you're talking about. Thanks for reporting it!

[ianleighton]

Since I reported it I've had a few other weird things happen that seem to be related (and a couple crashes), so hopefully the rewrite will kill all those bugs.

Looking forward to it!

tisho, I think it could also be related to this:

if(protectedLayerNames.indexOf(name) !== -1) {

indexOf seems a bit weird choice here, as it may match the beginning of the label here like:

"$label2".indexOf("$label") // returns 0, as the string indeed starts with $label

[Arkkimaagi]

No, sorry, my bad. This probably is not related to my thing, I think the indexOfmight cause some other issues. (maybe)

@Arkkimaagi: indexOf is called on the array, not the string :) It makes sense in that case, because I'm trying to figure out if the layer in the current iteration is one of the protectedLayerNames.

Doh, my bad :)
