3453.0. "Decwindows display corrupt" by LOOKIN::MISTRY () Wed Jul 29 1992 04:16

Hi,

I have a customer who is experiencing the following problem with BMS 1.1 and 
decwindows :

Customer clicks into a domain and then brings up the rules associated with that
domain. The alarm rules appear but you don't know what the rule is because there
are black lines horizontally and vertically destroying the characters. This also
occurs when he looks at the child entities ie LINE1 etc.

Now apparently this was a known problem (refer note 454) and was supposed have
been fixed. If this is so could someone tell me where the patch is. If it hasn't 
been fixed then could it be a font corruption problem.

This is rather serious because if it hasn't been fixed in 1.1 I suspect it's 
still there in 1.2.

Any ideas..

3453.1	what version of vms?	BARREL::LEMMON		`Wed Jul 29 1992 09:24`	6
	What version of vms is the customer running? The bug was the XUI window manager, not the iconic map. It was fixed in a later release. I think it was in one of the 5.4 releases. /Jim
3453.2	vms 5.4-3	LOOKIN::MISTRY		`Wed Jul 29 1992 10:11`	8
	Jim, He is running VMS 5.4-3, does this mean it hasn't been fixed or that he has to upgrade to vms 5.5. Bipin.

3453.9	Change window back grnd color in sess = fix 4 Ultrix	HERON::PATEL_A	LoLo-AQIC-I82Q-B4IP, - LMF	`Wed Aug 12 1992 10:40`	11
	re .3 prob on corruption problem on Ultrix 4.2a system. Some 'fooling' around showed that the problem was only seen if you kept the decwindows defaults for window background color as at installation time. I changed the window background color in session manager to a buff color, and the highlight color to pink, then the selected objects do not get corrupted. Amrit
