I have noticed a subtle bug in the display of gr_osview. If a window overlays part of the gr_osview display on the right side (so that the gr_osview window sticks out on the left), moving "strip chart" type displays turn black! This is not a serious bug, but perhaps sgi would like to know about it for Irix 4.0! ----------------------------------------------+-------------------------- Lance M.

This is documented in the man page: BUGS When using a strip chart display, and some other window obscures part of the strip chart, the bar will gradually turn to black. This is because an in-framebuffer copy operation is used to make the strip appear to move, and when part of the window is obscured there is nothing to copy. It is not clear that this bug will ever be fixed, because of the performance advantages of this style of update. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Milt Tinkoff | "Too much is always better Silicon Graphics Inc. | than not enough." milt@waynes-world.esd.sgi.com |
