Hello!
Just starting working with MGP 1.7.4 and Metaserver 6.1.4 (Mac) and discovered that the mini-formatting/action menu does not appear when cells are selected. Instead, a little pill with two white horizontal lines appears. The menu comes up normally when already occupied cells are selected. Tried this across four iPads. Same thing on all of them. Here’s a quick video:
Thank you for reporting this. The issue has been fixed in MetaGrid Pro 1.7.5, which is scheduled to become available later today.
The behavior was caused by an upcoming interface change being included prematurely in the 1.7.4 production build. Version 1.7.5 restores the established context bar behavior and also improves recovery after sleep, screen locking, and connection changes.
Please update to 1.7.5 when it becomes available and let us know if you encounter any further problems.
