Grabbed the latest just now.

Positioned myself in the tree where I wanted to have the new topic show up.
Used the CTRL-n hotkey.
Dialog comes up. Noted that keyboard focus moved into the Member Prototype control. Moved back to the topic title control.
Entered my new topic name.
Selected At Same Level. clicked Create Topic Added where I wanted it but the New Topic dialog did not close. Is that intentional and/or something you can duplicate, if not?

Interesting...

It only happens from the tree when pressing Ctrl-N. All the other places close properly - weird.

Works and closes:

  • Ctrl-N from editor
  • Select menu option from Tree
  • New topic button

Doesn't work:

  • Ctrl-N from treeview

I wasn't paying attention to where I had the focus but it must have been the tree based on what you say.

That's fixed along with a few other issues we identified yesterday:

  • New Topic from Tree not closing
    Fix: Window is no longer modal (no need since it knows which topic to attach to). Problem was a Windows anomaly with nested event loops.
  • Topic not opening when project is opened
    Due to a default config setting.
  • Helper Expansions (Context Menu -> Insert Helpers) Duplication Fixed

Updated in 0.4.5.1

Just got the latest (0.4.6.4). Started DM. This what I see.

It didn't open my last-used project (RFC3 APIs). It also isn't showing it as a recent project. None of this is more than an inconvenience and most likely related to the state of my app metadata. But let me know if there's anything specific you want me to try.

Yeah due to fixing the configuration file handling. There was a major bug in how the main DM configuration was stored in a separate file (legacy from when it was an addin) and that had to be refactored, so it properly stores in the main documentationmonster.json config file.

As a result older installs will lose all their app config settings. Should come back and work from here on out though.
