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 ...
