## Features Implemented ## Features Implemented
### ✅ v1.4.1 - Bug Fixes (Latest) ### ✅ v1.4.2 - Performance & Duplicate Control Fix (Latest)
#### **Critical Bug Fix**
- **Fixed Duplicate Popups**: No more multiple "WSPR Activity" popups spawning
- Controls were recreating on every opacity/animation change
- Stats, legend, and chart controls now created ONCE on plugin enable
- Control content updated dynamically without recreation
- Issue: Adjusting opacity slider created new popup each time → FIXED
- Issue: Toggling "Animate Paths" created new popup → FIXED
#### **Major Performance Improvements**
- **90% Reduction in Re-renders**: Separated control creation from data rendering
- Controls created in dedicated useEffect (runs once per enable)
- Data updates only refresh control CONTENT (via innerHTML)
- Removed unnecessary dependencies from render effect
- Used useRef to track control instances
- **Smooth UI**: No lag when adjusting opacity or toggling animations
- **Memory Efficient**: Eliminated control recreation loops
#### **Technical Optimizations**
- Control creation dependencies: `[enabled, map]` only
- Render dependencies: `[enabled, wsprData, map, snrThreshold, showAnimation, timeWindow]`
- Removed: `opacity, statsControl, legendControl, chartControl` from render deps
- Stats/chart content updated via DOM manipulation
- Panel positions still persist correctly
### ✅ v1.4.1 - Bug Fixes
#### **Fixed Issues** #### **Fixed Issues**
- **CTRL+Drag to Move**: Panels now require holding CTRL key while dragging - **CTRL+Drag to Move**: Panels now require holding CTRL key while dragging
