Bug? LabVIEW-2009: Boolean wire missing some dots

I opened a VI from someone asking a question on this forum and noticed some missing dots on two boolean wires.

This was opened using LV 2009.  It's an Evaluation installation (in case someone is wondering about specifics).

 

I minimized and maximized the block diagram and the dots were okay.

 

I don't know if this was already reported.

I have seen this a few times with other code. Not the boolean dots but just rendering of graphics on the block diagram. When I minimize -> maximize, the graphics are OK then.

I had seen this behaviour in my past company's slow PCs from LV 7.0 in almost all versions upto 8.5.

 

Never gave a second thought over it, though. Smiley Happy

I'm quite sure it's been reported for other versions before. 

I guess it's a very low priority bug.  

 

Looks funny, that's all..   Wireless wires maybe.  😉

THe weirdest graphicl bug I ever saw was in about LV 5.0 and manifest itself with clusters in an Action Engine construct. I called it "the Wires from nowhere" bug and was mind blowing (if you understood the data flow paradigm) when you watched it execution highlighting mode. Value came out of nowhere and appered at the loose end of wire fragments.

You guys are insane!  Oh no, wait a minute...I guess just your wires are.

LOL!  Imagine all the people that would need help if we came up with wireless wires...  Hey wait a minute..  That's like using Locals everywhere!!  Yikes!!!

Of course we could also ask for underground wires that could be threaded below the diagram for some busy areas where they are not needed. 🙂

I have faced a few times the situation that updating the graphic card driver improved the initial appearance of FP and BD elements. If minimizing and restoring the window of FP or BD results in a correct redraw then it is time for me to check, if I missed to update for a longer period.

Smiley Very Happy

 

What about multi-layer block diagrams (like multi-layer PCBs)? Would require some 3D-thinking instead of all flat.

Display could be one layer at a time or 3D perspective.
