Monthly Bugs, October 2007

[altenbach]

This is the continuation of the August bug thread. (Yes, we took a break and skipped September entirely :))

1. Each post here should only contain a brief description of a bug, together with a link to the thread where it is being discussed.
2. One post/bug!
3. One bug/post!
4. No discussion of bugs. All discussions of a bug must take place in the original linked thread

As many of you know we publish a list of the known issues that ship with LabVIEW in the LabVIEW Readme file.  We are trying something new (so expect a few problems here and there) and documenting a ‘living’ version of this document on the web.  I’ll keep this post short and let everyone check it out: LabVIEW 8.5 Known Issues.

I hope people find this useful. It's been a fun challenge to create a good process for documenting these issues and in the long-term I think this will be a great document for developers to refer to when programming in LabVIEW.  You'll notice that not all issues will make it in this document, but issues posted to NI through the AE department (i.e. through a phone call, email, or post to the NI Forums) and linked through the bug report threads on breakpoint will have a good chance of appearing on the list so keep up the good work!

Travis,

Thanks to you and all at NI behind the scenes who are working on and supporting this effort.  It is a great help to the LabVIEW community, a huge motivation for people who report and care about bugs, and a solid foundation for continuous improvement of product quality.  This is huge!

Thank you,

-Jim

Hi,

Using 'Defer Panel Updates' to speed-up the updating of the front panel is sometimes very handy, and when developing GUIs I use it alot.

Recently I saw a very strange behavior, using a chart, which we confirmed to be related to the above mentioned VI-property.

Try out the example below and try switching the 'Defer Panel Updates'-switch a couple of times and you'll be seeing strange graphical issues in that chart!



This bug was found using LV8.2.1, but NI told me it also existed in LV8.5.

LV 8.5:

If you create a In Place Element Structure and change Mark as Modifier, then do an Undo, the Mark as Modifier action is not undone, but there does appear to be something in the heap, as nothing takes place, and the next Undo undoes the task performed before the Mark as Modifier was done.  Will happen with removing and enabling the option.
