MultiTOS Bug Reports - created 04/23/93 ======================================= A E S --------------------------------------- AES001 fixed WM_BOTTOMED Martin Osieka - 11/23/92 Request to bottom a window. Implemented by Eric 04/22/93 AES002 open Selecting User Defined Objects in MTOS & TOS 4.01 Uwe Seimet - 02/07/93 Program draws its user defined objects and afterwards reports to the AES with the new object status in D0 (same value as in pb_currstate)/ According to AES docs the AES is responsible for selecting this object if it has the selected status. So far it works on all AES versions. It does not work with MultiTOS and TOS 4.01 in resolutions with at least 256 colors. In this case the AES does not select the object any more. This results in groups of radio buttons with none of the selected. (Works fine on the TT using BIGSCREEN2 with 640x480x8) AES003 open Fileselector 3D objects Ulich Kuehn - - Top bar of the list box and the closer overlap each other by one pixel. - The parent object of the slider itseld should not be in 3D. Does not look good. AES004 open Window Title Ulrich Kuehn - When a window has a very long title, it is drawn one pixel too much on the left side. A part of the 3D border gets overdrawn. AES005 open Menu Bar and wind_update Ulrich Kuehn - When my screen saver does a wind_update to lock the screen and then draws some grafics. When I start it, terminate it and restart it immediatly before the desktop (Gemini) has redrawn all the desktop, the menu bar is redrawn over my grafics. So I suppose there is a problem with the wind_update semaphore and the menu bar. AES006 open* Iconification J. Widi - 01/26/93 There is no documentation about iconification. *= Mike Fulton has written something baout this. AES007 open Typs in GEM.DOC J. Widi - 01/26/93 Typos in GEM.DOC: heirarchical, SH_WODEX AES008 open Fileselector J. Widi - 01/26/93 - Fileselector allowed to type file names with characters like : . $ & + - = ( ) [ ] { } % | # which are usually not allowed as GEMDOS file name characters. AES009 open Alert Box - Mouse Pointer J. Widi - 01/26/93 - When trying to access a non existing partition an alert comes up: "The application cannot find the folder of file you just tried to access". After that the mouse cursor is changed to a bee and never resotored AES010 open* Colored Icons taking too much memory in MultiTOS Loading a colored icon resource under MultiTOS takes up 500k. *= fixed when ported to Lattice AES011 open objc_change objc_change simply inverts the icons instead of showing the second image (at leats in 16 color mode, not in 256 color mode) If the second image is bigger than the normal image, the redraw is incorrect and a rest of the second image is visible. AES012 open FL3DBAK flags Uwe Seimet - 01/24/93 The Fl3DBAK flags seem to apply only to the root object of a dialog. When the appropriate bits are set in a box that is the child of the root object there is no visual effect. If it is intended to work that way GEM.DOC should say so. AES013 open Storing video data Uwe Seimet - 01/24/93 There are programs which set the video modes for the Falcon e.g. 78 Hz. It would be useful if the desktop did not over- write these at boot time or resoultion change. At the moment you have to start these programs from the desktop or set them to AUTOBOOT where they don't get executed after a res. change. AES014 open Description of appl_init in GEM.DOC Uwe Seimet - 01/24/93 GEM.DOC says for app_init: - The global[13] contains the current maximum character that is used by AES to do vst_height before writing ext to the screen. Change 9/29/92 - The global[14] contains the current maximum character that is used by AES to do vst_height before writing ext to the screen. Change 9/29/92 Are globals[13] and [14] really meant to contain the same information? AES015 open Problems with app_tplay D. Fiebelkorn - 01/19/93 In GEM View I use appl_tplay to scroll a picture using the right mouse button. Now I have to do it using vsm_locator and vq_mouse. But since it's an AES aplication it would be better to use AES calls instead of VDI calls if possible. AES016 open wind_get(DESKTOP, WF_FULLDESK, ...) D. Fiebelkorn - 01/19/93 wind_get(0, WF_FULLDESK, ...) returns wrong values. WF_WORKXYWH works fine. Example: In ST High WF_FULLDESK returns: -1, 18, 642, 383 instead of 0,0, 640, 400 AES017 open CTRL-W D. Fiebelkorn - 01/19/93 Why shoudl CNTRL-W close a window? In germany is mostly used for window cycle and CNTRL-U is used for closing windows. AES018 open AP_TERM on kill signale D. Fiebelkorn - 01/19/93 Can MultiTOS send an AP_TERM message if a kill signal arrives for this application and it is able to undertand it (shel_write(9, ....)) D E S K T O P --------------------------------------- DESK001 open Save Desktop... J. Widi - 01/26/93 Save Desktop does not check for overwrites. DESK002 open Copy dialog redraw J. Widi - 01/26/93 Moving the 'Copy' dialog while copying gives redraw errors DESK003 open Selected Icons J. Widi - 01/26/93 Application icons stay selected after being launched from a window. DESK004 open* Scroll buttons in Install Icon J. Widi - 01/26/93 When you load "NEWDESK.INF" manually then afterward the scroll buttons in the 'Install Icon...' and 'Desktop configuration...' dialog now overlap each other so clicking on the 'up' arrow clips the 'down' arrow and vice versa. *= I think it's fixed. DESK005 open Delete Files Dialog J. Widi - 01/26/93 While copying files you can: - drag the 'Copy File(s)' dialog around - top an application window - abort the copy process by clicking the closer gadget - access the menu bar You can do nothing of the above with the 'Delte File(s)' dialog, although it looks like a window. Both dialogs have along delay when you try to abort the operation by pressing 'Undo'/ Usually 2-3 files are copied or (even worse) 10-15 files are deleted before the keypress is recognized. DESK006 open No more system memory Uwe Seimet - 01/24/93 After starting and exiting some small programs on the Falcon under MTOS I can't copy files on the desktop. I get an alert saying something like "No more system memory" when I try to move a file from one window into another. (This alert displays as soon as I press the mouse button long enough to indicate that I don't want to select but to move a file). The desktop's memroy statistics still shows more than 1 MByte free. DESK007 open Typos in German dialog Uwe Seimet - 01/24/93 There is a typo in the German 'Installation application" dialog. It must be "keine" instead of "kleine" when a program can't be called by a function key. V D I --------------------------------------- VDI001 open Zen and the Art of Metafile J. Reschke - 11/25/92 Comments about M. Fulton's 'Zen and the Art of Metafile Maintainance': - First coordinate pair of vm_coord() is the lower left cornet, not the upper left. Same for v_meta_extens. - A cut&paste seems to have happened in the explanation of vm_filename (ther is a wm_pagsize instead as binding). - The fact that vm_filename() does not delete GEMFILE.GEM simply is a bug. Please fix it instead of having develoepers to care about that. G D O S --------------------------------------- MiNT, GEMDOS, BIOS, XBIOS --------------------------------------- MTOS001 open MultiTOS kernel Ulrich Kuehn - Can't get it to load the old GEM when there is no INIT line in mint.cnf. Configuration: 1040st with 2.5 MB, co it can't be a problem with memory protection. MTOS002 open Parameter in MINT.CNF to turn off memory protection Uwe Seimet - 01/24/93 Wants a paramter in min.cnf to turn off memory protection for his virtual memroy program.
