- Hello SUN Hackers, I wonder if anybody else has observed this:
-
- I've been FTPing down netfind and had the File Manager (SunOS 4.1.2, OW 3.0)
- AND a cmdtool cd'ed to the Target Dir. While still receiving seeddb.tar.Z, I
- uncompressed and de-tared netfind3.12.tar and read the README. It said some-
- thing about Files and Dirs I couldn't see in the File Manager's Pane. I did
- a 'ls' in the cmdtool, and presto, here's what I saw simultaneously:
-
- In the Filemgr:
-
- drwxr-sr-x 4 bern staff 512 Dec 22 1991 LWP_objs
- drwxr-sr-x 5 bern staff 512 Oct 27 16:24 LWP_res
- -rw-r--r-- 1 bern staff 1743 Sep 1 21:00 Makefile
- -rw-r--r-- 1 bern staff 8054 Oct 27 16:21 README
- drwxr-sr-x 2 bern staff 512 Oct 27 16:24 ServerShell

- drwxr-sr-x 2 bern staff 512 Sep 6 20:41 sparc
-
- In the cmdtool:
-
- Doc/ Restrictions netfind3.12.tar
- LWP_objs/ ServerShell/ resolv.conf.template
- LWP_res/ ToDo seeddb.tar.Z
- Makefile Update.History sparc/
- README m68k/ src/

- Now that's the THIRD Bug I've found in the Filemgr and I start getting sick
- of it! (BTW, the other two are that
- 1) Double-Clicking on a Dir to open it may cause it to vanish (especially if
- you accidentally triple-click) [I talk of REAL DELETION!!!],
- 2) Jumping from a big Dir to a rather empty one having the Pane scrolled Way
- down leaves the Pane unproperly set, even Refresh doesn't do the Job.)
- Any Suggestions short of installing a new SunOS Version?
-
- Thanks,
- J. Bern

- P.S.: For the Unbelieving, I made a Snapshot.
