933.0. "suggestions after the FUSE wreckings" by TLE::JRICHARD () Thu Apr 24 1997 15:17

We just finished testing FUSE and a number of debugger suggestions
came in.  Since they are unrelated to FUSE proper, I'll list
them here:

	o "Instruction View" should have a View menu.  It is the 
          only view w/o one.
	
	o  It would be nice to have a run button by default (rather 
           that a customized one.)

	o The line numbers generated in the Source display part of the debugger 
          are not clearly visible beyond 100. 4 digit numbers would 
          not be visible at all !
          [I've seen this as well -- John]

	o the icon of the Debugger io window could be better than the
          default four squares that Motif gives

	o It would be nice if the debugger icon was in color (FUSE icons
          are).

	o In dxladebug, the fonts are set in a resource file even in CDE.
	  It would be better if the debugger picked up the fonts from
          CDE instead.

This is related to FUSE, but on the ladebug side:

	o When using DXladebug under FUSE, there's an extraneous separator 
	  at the bottom of the FILE pulldown menu.  In the stand-alone 
          version of dxladebug, this separates CLOSE from EXIT, but there's 
          no FILE->EXIT in the FUSE version.

933.1Thanx for the feedbackTLE::CANDELAThis note's for you...Mon Apr 28 1997 10:2915
Thanx,
	We will add these to our list.

As for
	o The line numbers generated in the Source display part of the debugger 
          are not clearly visible beyond 100. 4 digit numbers would 
          not be visible at all !
          [I've seen this as well -- John]

As an interim fix you can try experimenting with different fonts to fit 
larger line numbers on the dislay. Edit:

DebugSource.Font:	-*-COURIER-BOLD-R-*--*-100-*-*-*-*-ISO8859-1

in ladebugresource. I realize this is a hack, but it could help in a pinch.

I'll pass that advice along.
