[comp.soft-sys.andrew] table bug with inset

tobeye@NORTHSTAR.DARTMOUTH.EDU (Anthony Edwards) (11/28/90)

I thought it would be really neat to create a table with a bunch of link
insets in the cells.  Each link button would be a C file in the
directory.  That way, when I wanted to edit a file, all I needed to do
was hit the button.  It works great until I made a mistake:

I created a link inset in one of the slots and then decided not to use
it.  The normal way to clear stuff from a table cell is to hit back
space.  In EZ, when I hit backspace over an inset, I get a question
asking whether I really want to delete that inset or not.  In table, I
get a core dump.  I don't think that's desirable.

I'm sure this is a minor bug that just needed to be pointed out to the
ITC - you probably just need to check to see if an inset is inside of
the cell and treat it specially.
