# The list of known (reproducible) DDD bugs.
Note: For problems occurring when *building* DDD, see the file `PROBLEMS'.
For reported bugs that could not yet be reproduced, see `OPENBUGS'.
This is a list of known (i.e. reproducible) DDD bugs, which should be
fixed in some future DDD release.
If you find a bug, be sure to report it to <ddd-bugs@ips.cs.tu-bs.de>
such that we may fix it (or include it in this list :-)
If you want to fix some of these, please ask <ddd@ips.cs.tu-bs.de>
whether there are already people working on that bug.
Projects marked with an `*' are to be fixed in the next DDD release.
Volunteers for fixing these and other bugs are welcome!
-- list starts here --
001 It's too big and too slow. [This one will never get fixed]
003 (Motif 1.1) The command window is scrolled whenever obscured.
021 (DBX) Using Sun DBX, attempting to dereference a `(nil)' pointer
results in an error message and no new display. However, the
expression is entered as an ordinary display.
026 (DBX) Using Sun DBX with PASCAL or Modula-2, selected array
elements are not counted from the starting index of the array.
041 Starting a multi-window DDD iconified under vtwm and fvwm causes
trouble with group iconification.
126 Flashing data window. Thomas Liefke
<liefke@cdc.Informatik.TH-Darmstadt.DE> reports that the data
window is flashing forever in certain circumstances. The flashing
looks like a rapid, endless update of the data displayed. The
flashing only occurs when the panner is used. While the window
(i.e. the boxes and the panner) is flashing, another panner is
occurring in the upper left corner in each flash-cycle.
The flashing does NOT occur when the scroll bar is used instead of a
panner.
How I can reproduce the bug:
ddd ctest
now I press:
break at()
run
step
click on variable 'tree' and select 'display'
click on box 'tree' and select 'display*'
click on 'data = {...}' and select 'show detail'
make the data window smaller so that the lower box doesn't fit
completely into window
make the data window big enough for all three boxes.
Then the window is flashing forever unless I make the window
smaller and then bigger again.
When I repeatedly change the size, the flashing comes again but
not each time the window size is big enough to hold all boxes.
155 (DBX) `dump` output is not understood if local arrays are shown.
(DBX prints these as `ARRAY')
169 The Manual Browser only recognizes manual (sub-)titles for
BSD-like formats, as in Linux, SunOS, and Solaris.
249 Zdenek Sekera <zs@cray.com> reports:
c. Some Makefiles in the subdirectories do not use CFLAGS thus
making it neccessary to always edit them to put in the correct
options. This is very time consuming in particular on
(e.g. myself) always forgets at least some little wee thing
somewhere....
[This is a problem of the libiberty and librx maintainers. -AZ]
d. In the same veine, when I run e.g. "configure --prefix='$(HOME)'",
the $(HOME) does not get propagated to all Makefiles.
[This is a problem of the libiberty and librx maintainers. -AZ]
272 (LessTif) The `select' font selection method works only once.
281 In auto deiconify mode, the Debugger Console uniconifies even if
other DDD windows are already there.
286 (Motif) Changing Cut/Copy/Paste accelerators at runtime does not work.
290 (Motif 1.1) The `Settings' dialog is too wide.
301 (LessTif 0.87) Changing preferences while the edit menu is torn
off causes a core dump.
307 Marco Hess <marcoh@senet.com.au> says that sometimes, the source
window locks in scroll mode until it reaches the top or bottom of
the file.
[Johan Vermeire <jvme@se.bel.alcatel.be> reports that
lowering the `glyphUpdateDelay' resource fixes this.]
309 DDD does not run correctly with the CDE Window Manager. Michael
Marxmeier <mike@msede.com> and Stefan von Dombrowski
<Stefan.von.Dombrowski@dlr.de> state that every time you move the
main window a constant offset is added to the relative position of
the tool window. This has the effect that the tool window at last
moves to the lower left of the screen.
Every time you change the location of the source window, the
distance shrinks. The border_width structure member
(XWindowAttributes) seems to be always zero in
recenter_tool_shell() although no error is returned. When the new
cmd window position is calculated this will result in a slight
move.
311 After `next 4' on Solaris DBX, the current position is not
highlighted.
342 (Gnuplot/xlib) Using the builtin plot window, the plot points of
different data files all have the same color. This does not
happen with the external Gnuplot window.
353 (Automake) The `configure' script checks for `__CYGWIN32__', but
as of Beta 20, this should be `__CYGWIN__'.
360 Plot tear-offs remain active after the main window has been closed.
363 (LessTif 0.87) Selecting something outside the source window does
not clear the selection in the data window.
367 (Insert new bugs here)
