Bug found when interacting with Layercomparer. If you do the following steps (described below and shown in video) this window with buttons...

... gets stuck at the bottom.

The steps for activating bug:

1. Select LayerComparer.
2. Choose two layers to compare.
3. Click "Jämför" button.
4. Click "Sluta jämföra" button at the bottom
5. Select LayerComparer again.
6. Click outside the modal window.

The buttons at the bottom will now appear again, even though no two layers are selected to compare.
Also, the "Sluta jämför" button will not be interactable.

Good find! Seems like something's changed in Dialog and how it handles onAbort vs onClose. Will have to take a closer look into it.

[OlofSvahnVbg]

Im looking into it

[jacobwod]

Oh, super! Let me know if you need to discuss it together.

For the record, @OlofSvahnVbg pushed a fix in 7f85c14.

This is maybe not specific for this release, I am not sure, and maybe just in our envrionment... but I'll put it here anyway: When sharing link with "dela" tool the tool is left out. For example I have the url for the map https://[mapserver]/?m=Masterkarta_test_mj#m=Masterkarta_test_mj&x=174000&y=6579000&z=3&l=4ki2ps%2C8s35te%2Cvxtx5f%2Cb32nqp&p=edit but when sharing the link, the url will skip the tool, only leaving p=

[OlofSvahnVbg]

Hi! If you could screen record the bug, maybe? Makes it a bit easier to see exactly whats happening :)

[Hallbergs]

Could it be that the tool that you want to have in the link is being rendered in the same spot as the "dela" tool? If you have the edit tool on the right side, and open "dela" on the right side, the edit tool will close. (We can only have one tool per side at the time). To create such a link, just edit the url manually!

The video confirms that the issue is indeed as described in #1655 (reply in thread)

[MarcusJustesen]

Ah, great, got it and works now. Thanks!
