[comp.lang.smalltalk] Smalltalk 80 strange behavior

boissier@irisa.irisa.fr (franck boissiere) (01/10/90)

I just noticed a strange behavior of Smalltalk-80 Version 2.5 on
a SparcStation 1.

It seems to be slower to draw lines directly onto the Display rather
than writing to a temporary instance of Form and to display it
afterwards.

Another pb is that line drawing on the screen is buggy. About all the
lines I have drawn up to now do not show up correctly there are parts missing.
A good way to see it it to load the 3D goodies from Pieter Van Der Meulen.

Did anyone noticed it already?

Are there any fixes

Thanks in advance

Franck
