Name : Aaron Digulla
Version : XDME V1.80.01
Config. : A500, 68030, no FPU, no MMU, 1/8MB RAM, 3 Drives, 1 HD,
KS 3.0 (39.110), WB 39.39, MFR 2.0e
Bug 1 : When you use the mouse and move to the far left, XDME
will scroll in that direction BUT won't stop at column 0 !
Bug 2 : When you have a running XDME and you click on an icon to
load another file, XDME responds with `file not found'.
Bug 3 : XDME often crashes, when I open a file-requester.
Bug 4 : Running XDME with
> xdme -x
Does nothing.
Bug 5 : Entering
% doback
does nothing.
Description:
Name - Your full name (so I can name you in the bug-fix-report :-)
Version - Version of XDME you were using. You can also specify a
range here (ie. V1.60 - V1.80) to indicate that the bug
was already in a previous version.
Config - What do you use also ? I do not need much info about
hardware. Info about additional software, you are running
is more informative for me. If you look at bug 3, (the
file-requester-problem), the problem is that MFR 2.0e
has some bugs and usually crashes when invoked from XDME.
Use MFR 2.0d instead.
Bug x - Every bug in it's own bug-report. This helps me to answer
you (I can insert text after the bug-report) and to
check the problem in the code (I can check-mark everything
I did fix).
Another thing is the FORM :-) Be specific ! Don't tell
long stories (which sometimes help, though) but say
"I did this and this and then this and XDME responded with
that", ie. a (more or less) straight way that leads to the
bug. It does not help much if you say "I cannot read the
text". Does that mean "XDME trashes the display" or
"it doesn't redraw the screen correctly" or "I cannot see
any text in the window at all !" ?
If you have a problem, try to fix it (ie. change the
pens for the colors). If you have a solution, I can save much
time looking for it. Don't hesitate to change the code and
recompile. There should be anything in it to allow this
(and if it isn't, you should complain !).
You meet a GURU ? XDME comes with full symbol-table for
debugging. Run you favourite debugger and tell me the
routine that did it. You should also include some
disassembled code since I work on XDME very often and
the code-adresses of your version and mine will very well
be different.
Enforcer-Hit ? Give me the full output of enforcer or
(better :-) hunt the hit down yourself (like the GURU).
Bug 4 - If you want to include shell-commands (or stuff I should
enter in the shell), use "> " as a prefix for the line
and indent it appropriately. If the line is too long, split
it between two words and indent the rest, too.
Bug 5 - This is like Bug 4, but "% " is used for stuff to be entered
in XDME's commandline mode.
Thanks for making my life easier :-)
