Description
Version and Platform (required):
- Binary Ninja Version: 3.0.3387-dev
- OS: macOS
- OS Version: 12.3.1
- CPU Architecture: M1 (arm64)
Bug Description:
When you go to type bytes into hex view, the "Click to Unlock File Contents" option pops up off the bottom-right of the window and is un-clickable.
Steps To Reproduce:
- Open Hex View
- Type something (I've been using '3') into the window
- Observe that the "Click to Unlock File Contents" option pops up, but off the bottom-right of the current window
- Also observe that even if you position your mouse over it, you can't click it
Expected Behavior:
The option should pop up somewhere within the window (ideally near my mouse cursor) and be clickable so that I can unlock the file contents.
Screenshots:
I can't seem to get the option to stay popped up long enough to get a screenshot...
Additional Information:
I also don't see an option in the command palette, hamburger menu, or right-click context menu for unlocking file contents? So, I'm actually not even sure how to do this now...
