- this is a list of known bugs and incompabilities of XDME
- the dates show, when I got to know of a bug; this does not
- mean, I did encounter it ...
-
-
- 1. (05-10-94) The following command sequence causes the display
- being cleared and the current line being erased ... (don't ask
- me why - ask Aaron) after the action each movement makes the
- cursor flush
-
- % first 30 scrollright 35 scrollleft
-
- 2. (27-11-94) there is still at least one maligne bug left ...
- it occurs for example, when adding another window to the XDME.1
- process via Shell and immediately closing it upon occurance
- (> run xdme a <cr, activate shell> > xdme_starter b c <cr, 2* close window>)
- and it results in a hung machine ... no Enforcerhits visible,
- just a frozen display ...
- and it seems to occur only in connection with tools like CBM: AutoPoint
- (this bug has been proved already in v1.83.12 - sorry but last week was
- the first time to use that comodity)
-
- let's say 'there is a incompability between autopoint and xdme'
- I'll check if other windowactivators make the same probs - but
- that might need some time
-
- hmmmmm dmouse seems to have no probs ...
-
- 3. (02-12-94 compilation) for a currently unknown reason the file
- Src/Var/SPC.c disturbs the active gst file (in sasc 6.51); in the
- following files (starting w/ vars.c) we get declaration conflicts
- for GfxBase and IntuitionBase;this must be fixed manually by erasing
- the gst after compiling spc.c ("> gst unload include:all.gst")
- The problem is less annoying when compiling Src/Var/spc.c as the
- last file - "SMakefile" has been changed accordingly (04-12-94)
-
- 4. (04-12-94 GTB) menus are not yet really supported - user cannot change
- anything from within XDME; GenericClass gadgets are not at all supported;
- Gadget hotkeys are not supported, too;
- there may still be some other probs when running the gtb module
- on AmigaOS v2.x ... gadtools.lib v37 lacks some more or less
- important features, which were only noticed via bug reports
-
- 5. (02-12-94) menufont* is initialized with strange values, sorry;
- this behaiviour won't change so fast 8(
-
- 6. (20-11-94) XDME won't run properly w/ at least one version of
- SysIHack (dunno if that has changed in the meantime) it seemed
- that the width attributes were gotten wrong, so the display
- looked terrible ... (ask Aaron for more details)
-
- 7. it seems still to be possible to overwrite the bottom border
- of the active window when using blocks (one of bcopy, bmove,
- split, deline causes the redraw problem probably together with
- norefresh - but unfortunately I cannot reproduce this bug)
-
- 8. (06-12-94) I was told about a problem where flag definitions
- disabled variable access could please someone prove this (a
- detailed occurence situation would be very handy since up to
- now I am not able to [re]produce that bug, so I cannot fix it)
- (if flag 5-12 are 0 global vars are invisible?)
- hmmmm the problem seems to have been present only in version
- v183pl18 not before and notlater, perhaps I linked a wrong
- version - time to have a look at the SMakefile
-
- 9. (07-12-94) the 'wordwrap' and 'shortlines' toggles interfered
- with each other (this might also be true for 'autosplit' or
- 'autoindent' and 'shortlines') (should be fixed now)
-
- 10. (08-12-94) no - not known :-( ...
- I have just managed to make ARexx produce enforcer hits and
- the keyboard be tilted; I only called a very long macro
- (private return macro) in the top line of a text :-(((((((((((
- since I have not yet been able to reproduce that bug, I'll only
- note it here (return is about 1.1kB in my .edrc)
-
- 11. (16-12-94) XDME still does not yet support locale.library :(
- would please s.o. have a look at the files
- * includes/gen_messages.h
- * src/mod/messages.c
- * util/rexx/(Uniq|mkCat).rexx
- and tell me what to change to support locale ...
- (I do not wanna have to read into the docs of kitcat, catcomp,
- catedit and how the different tools are called just to see, which
- one is the best to use for xdme) (ok, surely not _all_ messages are
- found in gen_messages.h, but as soon, as there is the first localized
- version, I'll add the remaining ones)
-
- 12. obviously _not_ a bug in xdme:
- in file util/extracter/extract.c SAS/C 6.51 complains about assignment
- to const in line 86 /*putc('\n');*/ this is imho a bug in sas includes
- or in sc ...
