- # The list of reported DDD bugs (not yet reproduced).
-
- Note: For problems occurring when *building* DDD, see the file `PROBLEMS'.
- For known bugs that could be reproduced, see the file `BUGS'.
-
- This is a list of reported DDD bugs which could not yet be reproduced.
- Feel free to investigate into one of these problems or send in more
- detail.
-
- -- list starts here --
- 706 Harry Mangalam <mangalam@uci.edu> reports: As soon as I click on
- a variable to try to highlight a structure name, DDD 2.1 goes
- into an unresponsive state for several seconds (seems like up to
- a minute on a 486) in which the ddd process hogs the cpu. It
- then returns to a usable state until the next time I try to
- highlight a variable name. It seems that if I click on a simple
- variable name, it responds appopriately, but if I try to
- drag-hilite the name, ddd goes berserk with the cpu.
-
- 708 Nagi M. Aboulenein <naboulen@ichips.intel.com> says: I'm seeing a
- persistent problem with various version of DDD on FreeBSD/x86
- platforms. The problem occurs when an attempt is made to save
- options. At that point DDD dies and the options file is not
- updated.
-
- 709 Lev Makhlis <mlev@writeme.com> states that DDD 2.2.3
- (i586-pc-linux-gnulibc1) consistently crashes if he runs it when
- no `~/.ddd/' exists.
-
- 711 Brian Dowtin <Private_User@gilbarco.com> reports that on
- SCO Server 5 and running DDD somehow the breakpoint pixmap
- 'sticks' to the window. Sometime after setting a breakpoint, The
- stop sign, stays in one spot. If I scroll up or down, its
- there. If I delete the actual breakpoint its still there. If I
- resize/close//reopen source window, its still there. If I load a
- different source file - you get the picture.
-
- 712 Ralf Hildebrandt <R.Hildebrandt@tu-bs.de> reports that on his
- HP-UX box, the tooltips are not complete: "Set/Delete Breakpo???",
- "Display/Undisplay???", etc.
-
- 717 Lassi A. Tuura <lat@iki.fi> states:
-
- On HP-UX and on DEC Unix everything is fine except that:
-
- - The default font I get is a bit big and clunky, the old one was
- much better (in case it matters, I have 100dpi fonts before
- 75dpi fonts in my font path). BTW, again this is only a problem
- on my HP-UX display (see the item below), not on the NT.
-
- - On data display window, the grayed out icons on the tool bar
- sometimes "disappear", i.e. don't show anything but the little
- arrow in the corner. In more detail, the rotate icon disappears
- completely, undisplay is just a funny little light gray blob,
- and show/hide is somewhat larger but still unreadable blob.
- When enabled, all show just fine. I would venture to guess that
- the problem is related to choosing right colors for them. This
- is on on a 8-bit PseudoColor screen on workstation running HP-UX
- 10.20. On my Windows NT 4.0 running Exceed on 24-bit screen
- everything shows fine.
-
- 720 Jens Albrecht <Jens.Albrecht@informatik.uni-erlangen.de> complains
- that using DBX, the `file' command does not change the source
- file.
-
- 721 Johan Vermeire <jvme@se.bel.alcatel.be> reports: `In ddd I
- tried to copy the whole contents of the command output buffer via
- the "select all" in ddd and to paste it into a UNIX editor for
- interpretation. This results in: `gdb: write failed: Resource
- temporarily unavailable' messages until I kill the ddd process'.
-
- 722 Steffen Wieschalla <steffen.wieschalla@student.uni-tuebingen.de>
- uses ddd-2.99.99 with tvtwm-pl11 on Solaris 2.5.1. He says: `If I
- start ddd, the window with the buttons "run", "stop", "step",
- "stepi", ... appears for a short time and then disappears. On
- e.g. fvwm it works correct. Does someone have an idea?'
-
- 724 Art Werschulz <agw@dsm.fordham.edu> reports a huge command tool on
- his DEC Alpha system using fvwm. The problem happens with fvwm
- and tvwm, but not with fvwm95, mwm or olwm. [WM bug?]
-
- 726 jik- <fract@sprintmail.com> reports that calling `editres' on DDD
- makes it dump core.
-
- 727 Mihai Budiu <mihaib@gs41.sp.cs.cmu.edu> reports:
-
- 1) The history window of '()' (which you can pop down using the
- arrow in the right) won't go away unless you type something in
- the () box; the history window remains on top even if you lower
- the whole DDD window.
-
- 6) Sometimes when I display '*this' after each 'Next' or 'Step'
- all the displayed fields of '*this' are automatically hidden,
- which is very annoying. This doesn't happen always, and I'm
- not sure if it happens with other pointers than 'this'. I
- could not reproduce the bug now.
-
- 729 Derrik Pates <dmp8309@silver.sdsmt.edu> says:
-
- First menu click in any menu forces window to move downward and
- the menu to appear where it normally would have, had the window
- not moved. (in separate windows mode)
-
- Enabling clustering in the Preferences window in Separate windows
- mode causes the data window to be forced to the top (doesn't get
- focus, but goes to top immediately). The same does not happen when
- clustering is being disabled
-
- This doesn't really classify as a bug, but it still does not
- properly handle array pointers. Can this be fixed?
-
- When I start up in separate windows mode, the DDD debugger console
- window appears, but it doesn't get the input focus.
-
- 730 Rubber_Buccaneer@Galactic.Headquarters.org thinks that the window
- containing the short cut buttons, i.e. step, next, etc. should
- always be displayed on top of the main window: `If the main window
- is lowered the short cut box is lowered too, but when the main
- window is raised the short cut box remains lowered. It was only
- through accidentally clicking on the border of the tear-off help
- menu that I discovered this, as the tear-off help window and the
- short cuts box are clearly related.'
-
- 731 Jarkko Hietaniemi <jhi@iki.fi> says:
- When the ddd 3.0.90 (compiled with g++/stdc++ in Solaris 2.6 from the
- sources) is started, it interacts strangely with my X11 window manager
- (vtwm Release 5.4.4c (http://www.visi.com/~hawkeyd/vtwm.html), running
- in NetBSD 1.3.2, XFree86 3.3.2).
-
- Definition of strange: the splash screen starts up nicely in my
- current virtual screen but the DDD main window makes my vtwm to jump
- to screen #0 (upper left corner).
-
- I have never before seen problems like this with vtwm.
-
- 732 Jacques Leroy <jle@star.be> reports that Electric Fence detects
- illegal memory accesses for strncpy(), strchr(), memchr() and
- possibly strcpy() on HPPA 712/60 + HPUX 9.03 + gcc 2.8.1.
-
- 733 Jochen Schⁿtze <jos@gbf.de> complains that ^Z closes the execution
- window immediately on DEC alpha OSF1 4.0 878.
-
- 734 Christoph Koegl <koegl@informatik.uni-kl.de> reports for the
- precompiled DDD 3.1 Sun Sparc Solaris 2.5.1 binary linked against
- OSF/Motif 2.0: If I open a plot window (via entering 'graph plot
- 42') and activate any of the pull down menus after resizing the
- window the menu appears in the wrong place. This place changes
- sometimes after further resizings, sometimes it stays where it
- is. I could not yet (after 20 seconds of experimenting) see a
- pattern.
-
- 735 Zdenek Sekera <zs@sgi.com> reports that 'run' on command tools
- will not forget the choice and rerun with default (blank)
- parameters when running in the execution window. See the test
- `dbx-rerun-tty' for details.
