Extensive Bugs report(II)
Due to a possible corrupt filesystem, my report could not be as useful
as i wanted to. To avoid this again, i have reinstalled E/D from ZIPs again
and tried all the errors Cliff could not reproduce, and this is what happened:
(I ADDED NEW BUGS TO THIS LIST)
Structure of this file:
=======================
Mice problems
Apps errors (Maelstrom and Speedometer)
Browse errors( Mostly due to my bad filesystem)
Other NEW ERRORS (Some tricky and funny NEW bugs)
CD ERRORS (Some CD errors that happens when ALT-E)
I must apologize too for the format my last mail was. I'll be more carefull
this time ! 8-)
===========================================================================
MICE PROBLEMS
=============
-Emilio>Pressing ALT-CTRL and left button of the mice, the mouse hangs...
-Cliff> I cant reproduce it (...) tell me when and...
I dont know what kind of stupid boy i am!!!! Forget it, this was not a
bug, this was my mice controller that allows change mice speed using
these keys and then a number!!!! Sorry for that!! (What the hell...)
APPS ERRORS
===========
Emilio>Maelstrom...
U were right!!! Maelstrom is OK, it works clean and soft, just like a mac
better even than 1.99K. The only bug happens when changing level, from 1 to
2 the score line (on the bottom of the screen) gets a little corrupted
(The numbers overwrite the text)
Emilio>Speedometer 3.xx
I lost Spd 3.xx with my filesystem, but 4.xx hangs with color tests
at the second pass! (run all test) just exactly the 3.xx did!
BROWSER ERRORS
==============
Emilio> When moving an icon inside a folder, the old icon stays till
Emilio> you reopen the drive/parent folder
Cliff> I cant reproduce (...)
Not a bug. Corrupted File System Error
Emilio> The up and down buttons of the folder get confused if an icon is
Emilio> very near them...
Cliff> Be more specific
All right: Just open a folder with a lot of icons ( I do it with MACWORLD CD
Nb 1). You can see some icons with large names and you cant see the end
of them because the bar is ON them. Just push the up button slowly till
the end of the name is EXACTLY UNDER the button and press again.
You will select the icon, instead of pressing the button. I can reproduce
it what ever U want!!! (You can reproduce playing with the DEMOS 1st folder
window, its very easy)
Emilio>Using CWSDPMI and EMM386 NOEMS, when opening Disk drives ...
Cliff> I cant reproduce...
When doing with clean E/D nothing happens using the same disk that used before.
So it was CORRUPTED FILESYSTEM (sorry again)
Emilio>Under Windows, when U press CTRL and BRK the system hags
Cliff> I cant reproduce...
Well, again a corrupted filesystem, but this is strange!
Emilio> Copying multiples icons to a folder destroyed my HD!!
Cliff> I cant reproduce...
Well, again a corrupted filesystem, (to gain time i'm gonna copy this and
so i ll have only to paste it)
OTHER NEW ERRORS
=================
Just take a look at the new errors i have found (Clean Executor and file
system this time, and reproduced at least three times on machine A)
1-When trying to copy a program without enough space it says there is
no space but it creates a document in the destination folder.
2-If U duplicate a folder named "A", U obtain a folder named "A copy"
do it again and U get a folder named equal after pressing continue
on the error log(-43 in) (Two folder named exactly the same, its not too good,
because, for example, when U delete one (Error in PHBdelete),
the browser delete both: One complitely and it deletes the contents
of the other)
3-A combined error from the last two: If U dont delete the bad doc from
the error 1) and copy again the program, when U delete the bad doc, U
delete the program.
4-A complement to a reported error:PR#940 (+NEW)
If you rename the HD with an ENTER, it changes ok, but:
#when U open the window the old name appears
#U cant rename it again, the "blankspace" name of the HD stays forever (NEW)
5- This is a NEW AND FUNNY ERROR: I CALL IT RECURSIVE COPY:
Put 2 folders on the hot band, We call it A and B.
Open folder A from hot band and REMOVE HOT BAND B ENTRY TO A folder (just
like if U wanted to copy the B folder from the hot band to the open A WINDOW)
The folder does not appear! Restart Executor and U will have the folder B
inside folder A and in the hot band only the folder A. Put folder B into
hot band and then copy the A entry of the hot band into the B entry of the
hot band!!! and voila!, recursive copy till U get out the HD!!!!
If U restart Executor U will have A that contains B that contains A that...
(I m having a very funny evening) 8-)
Maybe someone could say: Where is the bug?, the mac does what U have
told it to do. Well, I'd say that the copy status circle does not work
well then!. 8-)
CD ERRORS (Tested with several memory conf.)
=========
-Insert a MAC CD on the DRIVE, check for it (ALT+MAYS+2 and CHECK FOR...)
then EJECT IT (ALT E). The icon stays, no matter how many times U eject it!
-Insert a MAC CD on the DRIVE, check for it(see before), then OPEN THE ICON
so U see the 1st folder and then EJECT IT (ALT E). The icon stays, just like
before, but if U click on the icon (Hot band CD icon) U get out of E/D with
