Com components created with custom built PrlServer.c crash panther

application when destroyed. If you create you own custom built

PrlServer.dll, and then use that dll to create your COM components, when

you destroy those components, it crashes the application. Using the

original PrlServer.dll, the components are destroyed without any

problems.

Cycling through screens causes first screen to resize or reposition

Cycling through screens causes first screen to resize or reposition. The

customer has a button on screen one that opens his next screen which in

turn has a button that opens screen three. In screen three the close

button should close screen three and should bring up screen one. It

brings up the first screen but it doesn't always bring it up in the same

position or the same size. Sometimes it come up the same size as screen

two or the height is increased. It also sometime decrease in size

causing scroll bars to appear. This screen will also reposition it self

from time to time and will sometimes be position outside of the viewport.

Please notice that screens 2 & 3 always come up the same size in the same

position.

CORE Utilities

f2asc utility inserts extra characters or duplicates existing lines

When converting Panther screen from ASC file to binary using the f2asc

utility, the utility inserts extra characters or duplicates existing

lines on text into the multi-line text widgets, sometimes replacing text

with the duplicate text.

For example, in the original file we have the line:

"The SAVE button must be used to initiate the deletion of"

The output file will have the line:

"The SAVE button must be us9. The SAVE button must be used"

The utility works when we convert binary to ASC (no extract characters

or duplicates lines), but can cause the aforementioned problem when we

convert ASC to binary.

Tab card entry function does NOT fire before the grid entry

Tab card entry function does NOT fire before the grid entry.

Background: Have a grid frame in tab card #2 of a tab deck.

During normal traverse (ie clicking into different tabs) the card

entry function fires before the grid entry function, row entry

function, and field entry function (column 1 of grid frame)

correctly. I am currently invoking a child window from within

the grid frame (ie a double click function of column1 of grid).

Problem: Upon return the screen entry function fires first,

then the row_entry and field_entry functions, THEN the card entry

function.

CORE Data Dictionary

Inheritance on TV->columns & TV->primary key does not activate save button

Inheritance on TV->columns & TV->primary key does not activate save

button.

1. If you open a screen from a repository in prodev, selected a tableview

and go to the properties of that tableview. The Database->columns

property had a dark background, indicating that it is an inherited

property. The save button was greyed out.

2. Then I press the 'inh' button, the background color changes and the

save button becomes available.

3. Pressed the save button which then becomes unavailable.

So far this is correct behavior.

4. The Database->columns property now has a light dark background,

indicating that it is NOT an inherited property. I click on the 'inh'

button the background color changes to indicate that it is an inherited

property BUT THE SAVE BUTTON REMAINED GREYED OUT

MLT won't give an error message using "SHIFT+tab" when "required=yes"...

MLT won't give an error message using "SHIFT+tab" when "required=yes".

Suppose we have a screen with a multiline text widget that has input

required set to "Yes".

1. Use "Shift+tab" to tab out from this MLT, it gives you an error

message.

2. Enter a "return", or "tab" or space into the MLT and "Shift+tab" to

tab out from it, it won't give you an error message.

3. However, if you delete that "return", "tab" or space to clear

everything inside this MLT and do "Shift+tab", there is no error message

even if there is nothing inside the MLT.

CORE Library

Gives an error message 'Out of Range' when setting min & max value in slt

Gives an error message 'Out of Range' when setting min & max value in

slt.

In the existing application we have a SLT widget with

Min value = 0

Max value = 9

Min value = A

Max value = Z

So it is suppose to accept values between 0 and 9, and A to Z.

This scenario works fine in JAM and Panther 4.26. But in

Panther 4.5 gives an error message 'Out of Range'

Problem on sorting in grids and editmasks.

(Panther 4.5 on Win NT4) that a field in a grid with an edit mask

(\9\9-\9\9) and lexical sorting adds the "-" whenever the

sorting is done by clicking on the column header, and the second number

is changed, bit by bit or all at once when you keep on clicking the

column header, to -. Therefore, after clicking the column header some

times, the second number will become --, and the result display is like:

11---, instead of 11-22, which is the actual number to be sorted.

date format validation not working properly

The contents of the field are modified to a date which was not intended

by the user, when the contents are invalid.

ie. If 01/01/20O1 are the field's contents and field validation is

performed, then the contents are changed to 1/1/2020

CORE Library

Word-Wrap: sm_n_ww_write() doesn't appear to be truncating to max_occurrences

Word-Wrap: using sm_n_ww_write() doesn't appear to be truncating to

max_occurrences.

In the test screen, a sm_n_ww_write() call is made into a word-wrap MLT

w/ max_occ = 4, length = 10. The text string ("test_string") that is

being written in is 40 chars long. Because of the placement of spaces in

the text string, there is wrapping done of the test_string. Once

sm_n_ww_write is called, querying the num_occurrences/max_occurrences

shows them both to be 4.

If you query the word-wrap widget to get the contents of each occurrence

in the word-wrap field, you get results that are shorter than what was

written. This makes a certain degree of sense--wrapping caused the

test_string to be split over occurrences, so it couldn't all fit into the

word-wrap widget. Therefore, the 4th occurrence of the word-wrap text

contains characters 21-30 of the test_string, and there is no occurrence

of the word-wrap widget that contains characters 31-40 of the

test_string.

However, if you use your mouse to scroll through all the text in the

word-wrap widget, you can see that the entire 40 characters are visible

on the screen. (Note that you can't use arrow keys to get to or edit

anything after what was in the 4th occurrence of the word-wrap widget.)

Field entry func in listboxes don't get the right occurrence.

In a list box of "Select Any" type, the field entry function

Library problems if two member names have the same first 32 characters

Import database object from database creates incorrect links.

Customer has 4 tables (table_a, table_b, table_c, table_de) in his

A is the primary key in table_a

B is a foreign key (FK) to table_b

C is a FK to table_c

D & E form a FK to table_de

F is ALSO a FK to table-b

Column B and F reference to the same primary key to table_b.

After we connected to the database and import the database object from

the database to the repository, there are three links created for

Listbox height changes when copying data to it.

Listbox height changes when copying data to it. This happens only if the

listbox height property is set either by entering some value in the

property window or by resizing it by mouse. If some value is copied into

it, the listbox shrinks or enlarges. To reproduce the problem :

1) create a listbox and resize it so that there is only one onscreen row.

2) Create a single line text (a) and a PB and attach the following JPL to

it.

listbox = a

3) Run jamdev and load up the screen and as you click on the PB, the data

The cursor remains in the original row it was in before the sort, but the

data in the row that the change was made in (typically) has been sorted

to a different location in the grid. Technically you could say that the

cursor doesn't actually leave the field because it remains in the same

physical cell, but the fact that the cursor does not remain with the data

implies that the data in that cell should have been validated before it

was moved to another location.
