Two comments...
I hope (and you should too) that you find more bugs. This is how we find
bugs. Finding bugs is good, not bad.
Bug tracking systems are invaluable, especially for the developer. Mail
lists are (among other things) a nice way

to broadcast that a bug has been found to users - a good thing, nothing
to be embarrassed about, just a natural progression

toward the high quality software that EPICS and related tools have become.
Just my biased opinion..., thanks for your tolerance.

 Hello PaweÅ,
please note there's also the CSS bug tracking system on SourceForge [1].

Entering bug reports there will make them easier to track and manage -
compared to threads in tech-talk.
Thanks,

Hi Xihui,
That's good to hear. I'm looking forward to the newest release. I hope
I don't find any more bugs but if I do I will let you know.
Cheers,

Hi Pawel,
Yes, this is a bug. Every string property is supposed to support
macro replacement. I have fixed it now. It will be available in next
release version, probably in one month.
Thank you for finding and reporting it to me!

Subject: BOY - XY Graph and macro substitution
Hello,
I've come across another problem with BOY. This time it concerns the
XY Graph widget.
It seems this widget does not substitute macros. The attached file
demonstrates this behavior. A Text Update, a Label and an XY Graph
widgets are included. For the first two, the $(amacro) text is
substituted but this does not happen for text fields in the XY Graph,
namely the Title and Axis Titles.
Is it a desired behavior or is it a bug?
Cheers,

Pawel Predki
