| Steve I had just had a similar problem where all my backdrops
disappear and wwould not reappear until I rebooted!. I have just tried
to recreate the problem you are getting but found that the Line
remained just as I had drawn it.
I have recently been on a BMS course where several students spent time
designing their Maps, only to find that they had gone away when going
back into the Domain Window. They then found all was OK after a system
reboot.
Sorry I don't know why this occurs, but as you say when the map is
saved in this strange situation the MCA**********etc.mcc_map_* aren't
modified or created.

| >>>work fine until MB1 is release. At this point the line disappears
>>>and the outline that was surrounding the line goes fuzzy.
Yikes!! Would you be able to pipe your display to my WS and let me see this
first hand?...It's a new one on me! Call me DTN 226-5339.

| 1470.3 | Same with SMS kit | CSC32::WOESTEMEYER | Why??...Why not!!! | Tue Sep 10 1991 14:28 | 13 |
| A little more information. Fred Messinger (.2) saw this behavior
yesterday when I piped the display to his work station. At that time I
was running the BMS kit for V1.1, since then I have installed the SMS
kit from the August CDs. Same behavior is noted. It seems that if
lines are drawn in an enclosed area the symtoms are seen, if the
drwaing is done in the open areas, ie ocean, the lines are fine.
If a line is drawn from the ocean to an enclosed area, it is ok at
first, then draw a line in the same enclosed area, the second line is
never represented and the part of the first line in the enclosed area
is also gone.
Now What??

| 1470.4 | More strange behaviour | CX3PT2::SHOTO::W_MCGAW | | Tue Jan 14 1992 18:48 | 15 |
| I have a customer who is trying to connect two domains in his top
domain by drawing a wire between them. His top level domain has a
backdrop of the United States. The two domains are in New York and
Maryland. He selects the line option of the toolbox and then tries to
draw a line between the two doamins. The line looks fine until he
releases MB1. At that point the line went from its original starting
point out into the oceanand the two domains disappeared from the
display. If he clicks MB1 on either of the window scrolling bars, he
sees the domains again but they disappear when he releases MB1.
He is running DECmcc-BMS V1.1.
Any ideas or other questions I could ask him?

| 1470.5 | Middle to Middle *not* edge to edge... | BSYBEE::EGOLF | John C. Egolf LKG2-2/T02 x226-7874 | Tue Jan 14 1992 21:19 | 16 |
| The way you connect any two icons (like your two domains) with
a line is to select the line icon and then put the "cursor"
(you know what I mean) *IN THE MIDDLE* of one of the icons and
drag the line over to the *MIDDLE* of the second icon and then
release MB1.
Too many people are very precise in drawing lines between two
icons. They go from the *edge* of one icon to an *edge* of the
second. If you miss the edge by just a little, the line isn't
'attached' to the icon and strange, complex formulas kick in to
do positioning of the line.
Go from the middle to the middle and it will work every time
and look fine, backdrop or not.
