Re: [protege-user] Issue with Displaying Data Properties [SEC=UNOFFICIAL]

UNOFFICIAL
Michael, Samson,

                I have managed to replicate the issue. Windows 10 Enterprise (VMWare Desktop), running Protégé v5.6.0.

I loaded your Display Bug Test ontology, Michael, and initially could only see the one description value (Capture-01-default sizing.PNG). Sorry, that’s a poor snip which doesn’t show the lack of a second property being displayed. :-/

Instead of going full screen, I just dragged the edge of the Entities pane left to reduce it, and this resized the rest of the panes. The resize caused the second property to now be displayed (Capture-02-post resizing.PNG).

So this could be a longer-standing bug than originally thought (i.e. it’s not specific to v5.6.4/3).

Cheers from early morning Australia,
Damian

I cannot reproduce your problem on a Mac or on a Parallel instance of Windows 11. On the Mac, I have Protégé 5.6.4, while on the PC, I have Protégé 5.6.3. On the PC, I made the window about 4” x 6” and even smaller on the Mac. In both cases, both “description” data property assertions were displayed.

Samson, thanks for checking. I still think it could be a bug rather than something with my implementation of Protege. First, it doesn't surprise me that it works with a Mac. I've experienced that before, a UI feature works on the Mac version but not on the Windows version. Second, I'm running Protege 5.6.4 and this is such an obvious issue I think it would have shown up if it had been around for a while, i.e., my guess is most likely (assuming it is a problem and not something unique to me) it is something new to 5.6.4. I have another machine running Windows 10, I'm going to try this on that machine and see what happens. When I have a chance, I'm also going to restart my Windows 11 computer. I really doubt it but you never know, it could be some glitch. I already tried restarting Protege and still have the same behavior. Let me know if you have any other suggestions.

Cheers,
Michael

I ran across what I think is a bug but before posting an Issue on GitHub I wanted to check if people have seen this with other ontologies or it might be something unique with mine. The problem arises when I have two long string values for a data property called description. When I added the second string it didn't show up in the Property Assertions window, even when I scrolled down to the bottom. I checked the Turtle code and sure enough the second string was there. I played around with it a bit more and found that when I made Protege large enough to take up my whole screen, then the second value was displayed. I'm not attaching the ontology because it is fairly big but it can be found at: https://github.com/mdebellis/Climate_Obstruction/blob/main/data/climate_obstruction_5-6-25.ttl

Actually, I decided to try an experiment and created a test ontology and did the same thing and had the same behavior, so either something is wrong with my installation of Protege or it is a bug (probably the latter). I'm attaching the example. You should be able to re-create it by just opening the ontology and making Protege small enough so when you display the property assertions on thing1 you can only see the one description without scrolling. Then the second description value on thing1 won't show up, but if you make the window big enough so both assertions can be partially seen, then you should get both.

I'm using the latest version of Protege on Windows 11 Pro.

The Individual is ExxonMobil. In this first screen capture you can see the beginning of the first description property:

Here is the second screen where I scrolled down to the bottom This is when Protege was only taking up about half of my desktop screen, and there is no second value for the description property visible:

<DescriptionDisplayBug2.png>

Here is the same Property Assertion view when I made Protege large enough to take up the whole screen for my Desktop, now you can see both values show up. My guess is that for some reason, because the Property Assertion View wasn't large enough to show them both,  the second value wasn't displayed at all, even though it should have been when I scrolled to the bottom in the first case:
