LinkElementCommand::redo() already had a check meant to catch exactly
this -- two report-linked conductors whose properties disagree -- and
ask the user which to keep via PotentialSelectorDialog. It never
worked: it built ONE combined list from three unrelated fields
(tension_protocol, wire_color, wire_section) and tested that whole
list for string equality, so a tension-protocol value could never
equal a wire-colour value even when every field individually matched
across every conductor. Worse, "wire_color"/"wire_section" are
ConductorProperties::m_wire_color/m_wire_section, a separate free-text
documentation pair that says nothing about how the wire is actually
drawn -- that's "color"/"style" -- so the one field #974 is actually
about was never compared at all.
Fixed by comparing each relevant field (text/num, function, tension
protocol, colour, line style) separately. Downloaded the reporter's
actual project, confirmed the mismatched wire reads color="#0000ff" on
one side of a "Folio suivant"/"Folio precedent" link and
color="#55aa00" on the other, with the link's other four conductors
matching correctly (ruling out a rendering artifact) -- see PR #980's
checkContinuity() extension, which now flags this class of mismatch on
sight.
Extracted the comparison into its own static
reportLinkNeedsPotentialChoice(), for the same reason
ConductorCreator::needsPotentialChoice() already exists as its own
method: a caller with nobody there to answer a modal dialog needs to
check first and decline, and the condition must not drift away from
the one redo() actually applies.
Fixing the comparison surfaced a real, previously-latent hang in this
session's own qet.linkElements(): PotentialSelectorDialog::exec() is a
plain QDialog::exec(), not routed through QET::QetMessageBox, so
headless --run has nobody to answer it. Measured directly -- hung
until killed with the property-comparison fix alone, clean refusal
after adding the guard. linkElements() now calls
reportLinkNeedsPotentialChoice() before constructing the command and
declines with a clear reason, the same choice addConductor() already
makes about ConductorCreator's own equivalent dialog.
