- 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
