I think I may have stumbled onto a bug in MacDraw II. It is
"relatively" harmless, but really annoying. Periodically I have lines
disappearing on the screen. A description follows these questions.
* If it is a bug, does Claris know about it?
* If it is a bug, is there a fix?
* If its not a bug, what am I doing wrong?
I haven't had time to isolate it (I may try that later this week), but
here is a brief description:
-------------------------------------------------------------
system: Macintosh SE/30, 2 Meg RAM, 40 Meg HD
I have added no extra Inits
software: MacDraw II ver 1.1 (Academic package)
(I just mailed in my registration card today, so it won't be
on file until the end of the week; however, if someone from
Claris wants it, I will e-mail it to them.)
In one layer I have a line in 0.25 point.
************************************* <- line
In a layer above this, I add a solid rectangle
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
***********XXXXXXXXXXXXX************* <- line
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXXXXX
If I later select this box and move it, the line disappears (on the
screen). If I reduce the scale by 1/2 and then bring it back to 100%,
the line reappears. Scrolling it off the screen and back onto the
screen also brings the line back to the screen.
It is very annoying to have parts of your image disappear.
