5051.0. "multiple object drag = IMPM hang" by HERON::PATEL_A (LoLo-AQIC-I82Q-B4IP, - LMF) Thu May 13 1993 05:50

    Don't know if this is me, my set up or what... so please bare with me.

    I open a domain, select all the objects in it using "rubber band"
    then click MB1 on one of the objects to drag the whole lot downwards in
    the window area....

    Then the IMPM and all associated windows hang.  If you look at the
    IMPM process it's consuming 80% of a VAXStation 4000/60 (48Meg), the
    process seems to be looping but cant tell much else,

    has any one else seen this behavior ? should I stay away from multiple
    object drag etc..?

	Amrit, More information please - what version of MCC are you using and exactly what are you doing? Verna
5051.2	works ok after mcc restart - can't replicate	HERON::PATEL_A	LoLo-AQIC-I82Q-B4IP, - LMF	`Mon May 24 1993 10:51`	9
	Verna, it looks like things work ok now, I had to restart mcc and can't replicate the problem. MCC V1.3.0 (link date/time: 9-FEB-1993 14:13:32.60) VAXstation 4000/60, 48 Meg memory

	Thanks to Sally Martin we were able to reproduce a similar problem using the rubberband drag option. If you <shift> select E1 then rubberband select E1, E2, and E3, you will see E1 become unselected. Now if you <shift> select E1 again and then try to <MB2> drag the entities to a new location the impm goes into an infinite loop. Were you using <shift> select? /Jim
5051.4	thats basicly the sequence I used...	HERON::PATEL_A	LoLo-AQIC-I82Q-B4IP, - LMF	`Fri May 28 1993 05:10`	10
	This sounds too similar to be true. The only difference is that I had a object selected using MB1 (I'e looking into it), then I wanted to move all the objects across the screen, so used shift and rubber band select to get all objects. The original object gets deselected, so I used shift select (so as not to lose the selection of the other objects, then performed the move --- then it hangs Amrit

	This bug is fixed for the MUP :^) Verna
5051.6	Also hangs when manipulating multiple alarm rules	ISIDRO::LUISGON		`Mon Jun 14 1993 09:48`	7
	I have experienced a similar behaviour when selecting/deselecting/operating with several alarm rules from the IMPM with the map unlocked. Since it is a customer production environment and they are not very happy seeing MCC hang I'll try to reproduce it after hours. Luis
