393.0. "acknowledge not working when doubling events" by WOTVAX::ELLISM (Are you all sitting too comfybold square on your botty? - Then w) Wed Sep 07 1994 05:59

    I know you're probably going to wonder why I did this, but....
    
    I had two filters defined, both sending events to the multiline event
    list window, so occassionaly I would get the same event notified twice
    in the same window (I was demonstrating filters).
    
    Image a event list window with two events, but they are the same one.
    If I select the lower of the two, and acknowledge it, the acknowledge
    string actualy gets entered into the top event and nothing goes into
    the bottom event. As Acknowledge is supposed to update all the screens
    where the string is visible, I would've expected to have it update both
    events.
    
    Now, I know you can say what I was doing was stupid, and doesn't
    reflect a real live environment - and you are correct, but I still
    think it's a bug - just not an important one.

 Yes, you are stupid, so, to compensate for your intellectual inadequacies
 I will fix this for you, however, due to the way that the eventlist works,
 this fix will not appear until the next release.

 Hmm, just thinking about this, should the "Remove selected event"
 remove ALL occurences of the selected event, not just the one that
 is selected?
