3979.0. "PolylineLiteral Property (X_Position/Y_Position) Problem" by TKTVFS::TAJINO () Tue Feb 04 1997 21:06

	I am editing DECforms DECWindows Interface now, and I have a problem.

	After I modified X_Position or Y_Position using Property Box of 
	PolylineLiteral,  clicked "OK", "Apply".  
	Just then, PolylineLiteral was disappeared !

	I translated form data that have disappeared PolylineLiteral.
	In IFDL file was incorrect X_Position, Y_Position.  Their position 
	ware very high value. For example, X_Position ought to be 0.000, 
	in fact 8200.304.

	Why ?

	Environment;	Open VMS 6.2, 7.0 (Alpha, VAX)
			DECforms V2.1-010

	I have known similar problem that was incorrectly incremented by 
	"+" pushbutton. Is this same ?
	
	Please your help !

Thank you for reporting this problem.  We are aware of the cause of
the problem.  What is actually being entered into the Panel Editor
for the X and Y coordinates are not the values themselves, but the
addresses of those values!  That is why it appears that your object
disappears, actually it has been moved way off of your viewing area.

At this time, since code freeze for V2.2 is a week and a half away,
we are not sure whether any fixes can be made to MPED in time.  
A workaround that is always available to you is to hand edit the .IFDL
and specify X and Y directly.

We also apologize for being so late in replying.

Thanks,
Domenic
