I have recently installed edm-1-11-1zc. Previous version used here was edm-1-11-1t which frequently froze up while popping up a related display. I see three problems with the latest version (1-11-1zc):
1. It still freezes up (perhaps not as frequently as the 1-11-1t version). When it does freeze up the only thing that works is to use the kill command and then start a new edm session.
2. Next problem shows up in the use of "Text Control". I see it when I type a new value and press Enter. In previous versions of EDM, right after Enter was pressed the value read back from the record would be displayed. In the new version this happens only when I click on another "Text Control". I can tell that the value is not read back when I type an integer value, say 2, into ao record since after pressing Enter the value displayed is 2 and changes to 2.00 only when I click on another "Text Control". My interpretation of what happens may be incorrect. Yet the effect I describe is real.
3. I also see that expose events are not properly handled. This I see when I sit in front of a Linux box monitor ( I do not see this when I sit in front of a Windows computer display). What happens is that after an EDM screen is exposed, part of the picture does not get repainted. Minimizing and then bringing the screen back up fixes that. I see this effect on a number of Linux desktops here at SLAC, all have RHEL4 installed. Is it some problem with X windows or Motif? On Microsoft Windows desktop I am using XWin32 version 9, which seems to handle the exposure events correctly. To the best of my knowledge I have not seen this behavior with the previous version of edm.
Are these known problems?
Thanks in advance,
Zen
