1.DRAW Bug Report: Attempting to use the TEXT tool with a null string will
crash the system. For example:
..a. Select TEXT from TOOL menu.
..b. Either click on LABEL immediately without clicking on string gadget,
or click on string gadget but immediately hit RETURN so gadget has
no input.
..c. Now attempt to draw the text rectangle on the drawing. Draw the
rectangle. When you click the left mouse button to place the text,
you'll get a "Software Error – Task Held" error, followed by Guru
#0000000.5000097B0.
2. How do you radius (round) the corners of a rectangle?
–APL
Great … a second bug (the first was 2 point smoothed line!). I'll get this
into next release ASAP (it's an obvoious divide by zero bug)… Seriously …
lets HUNT those bugs down … 2 months of testing sure didn't catch everything
…. Just turn smoothing on and draw a rectangle … see the project drawing.
1. I did try using SMOOTH but it curved the rectangle along the entire side.
I want to maintain parallel sides for almost the entire length and only round
off the very corners. I'm used to the 'round corners' command in MacDraw that
allows radiusing of a specific value — how can that be done? 2. Interesting
ability (not necessarily a bug): It is possible to enter a null string as a
Part name and it is accepted — and future attempts to do it again give a
'Part in use' msg so it actually has been stored under the null string. It
might be interesting to see what happens if an attempt is made to write such
a Part to disk… –APL
