Bug [VAST8.0] - Implementors browser

Postby Yuri » Thu Sep 23, 2010 3:14 am

Hi, I detected the following bug in VAST 8.0

The "implementors of" browser has a splitter (to split code and the selected methods) bar which can be moved over the toolbar buttons.

This gives some strange results ending in code being displayed over your toolbar buttons...

Regards, Yuri.


Update, also the hierarchy browser suffers from this bug.

For what it's worth, the same behavior exists in 7.5.

Hello,

I'm using V 8.0.2 on XP and do not see that behavior with the sash (I did not see it with any V8.x version).

This is in a virgin 8.0 image. The basic problem is that the sash shouldn't be allowed to move into the screen area owned by the toolbar. Hilarity ensues when the various components fight it out to be on top during redraws.

I'm running V8.0.2+ on Windows XP SP3 and I see it also.

Hello,

I'll raise the issue in our weekly meeting. I set the class history widget as the top, limiting widget for the sash but not sure how much an improvement it is.
