Re: Big bug on NotePad or in Workbench/Intuition ?

BTW the reason Samo can't repoduce the effect with a MUI winodw is that it would MUI windows can't be resized to begger than the screen they are on. 1680 pixels is not big enough to produce the effect. In order to reproduce the effect with a MUI window you must set the WB screen to a size where the ...

Re: Big bug on NotePad or in Workbench/Intuition ?

Iconifying the Notepad window returns the workbench to normal speed as does switching of compositing. This adds evidence to my theory that the hardware limit for compositing is being exceded. I would guess that, those that can't reproduce this bug either aran't making the notepad window big enough, ...

Re: Big bug on NotePad or in Workbench/Intuition ?

I can reproduce this on my SAM Flexx 733 with a radeon 9250 installed. To trigger you need to set a wide screen (I set 1680 pixels, yet still on a 1240 x 1024 screen mode) then resize the notepad window to about 1 1/2 times the screen size, the workbench slows down massivley. I still hve 70Mb video ...

Re: Dragging a folder from RAM: to hard disk

The cut operation worked here for me when I tried it. But it's worth noting that the 'cut file' is only removed after the paste operation. So cutting with out pasteing makes no difference to the directory structure. Information about the cut & paste process appears to be stored in T: so ensure t...

Re: translate offsets to library calls

I guess it is the offset identifying a called dos function, so is there no mean to identify this lookng in the docs? After all the compiler has to do this too? It does mean it's a crash nside a dos.library function, but only a developer with access to a debug version can tell where. The compiler on...

Re: Bug in command expr

A further update on how to fix this with the current SDK It's an undocumented feature of abc-shell that setting DISABLE_COMMANDLINE_WILDCARD_EXPANSION will disable command wildcard expansion of clib2 based coomands such as those included in coreutils. Abc-shell handles this expansion itself so furth...

Re: Bug in command expr

A work arround for expr may be achieved by setting

set DISABLE_COMMANDLINE_WILDCARD_EXPANSION 1

however this may break other aspects of a configure script (untested)

Re: Printer Prefs caused a yellow alert and crashed my syst

Is this repeatable? Needles to say it doesn't crash for me. If it's not repeatable it could be the result of some other prgram crashing / corrupting memory. Had there been anyother GR's in that session? How did you open the printer prefs from workbench? Shell? via amipdf ? (not sure if you can do th...
