- Hi Folks,
-
- As we were testing 1.99p6 we found out that the "How to Order" menu
- item for Stuffit Expander brings up a picture that is improperly
- truncated under Executor. The picture should contain ordering
- instructions for "Dropstuff Expander" and have more information about
- the makers of the range of Stuffit products, but it is largely blank.
-
- Apparently this bug has been present for a while, but it was only
- noticed after we had put 1.99p6 together. Since Stuffit Expander is
- supposed to be an advertisement for Aladdin's other products, this bug
- is a "showstopper". Cotton found the cause of the bug last night but
- a correct patch requires writing test code and running in on a Mac.
- An incorrect patch might allow this particular picture to be drawn
- properly but result in other pictures not working properly, so we have
- to do it right.
-
- I left for food and entertainment last night, came back and took a
- nap. I'm now back working on this problem, but it's morning and
- 1.99p6 still isn't out. Once the bug is found it will still take a
- few hours of shuffling things around and testing before we can release
- 1.99p6 and there's still the chance for another showstopper, although
- I think it's relatively unlikely.
