Hi,
now on the bugs in the editor (I am non-US using Windows XP SP2 - and in my country we use "," for the decimal point):
1) Segment 1 is overwritten randomly while editing. Any segment can - it seems - overwrite segment 1. I have an idea ,that this happens when I save the session during editing work. And that the last segment I was editing before saving does the overwriting.
2a) The decimal problem was not really solved with the 2.41 beta editor for us non-US people. OK the content of each segment now shows "," - but you can't any longer input data right into each segment. Input has now to be done just and only into the common input-fields right above the segments. And those input fields still don't accept anything but "." for a decimal point.
2b) One more thing happened while trying to solve the decimal point in editor 2.41 beta. The input fields are not any longer as "fool proof" as they used to be. If one tries inputting a too large number for a given field - the editor simply collapses. This is not a new problem but now less fields are "fool prooof ". My guess is that the "fix" of the decimal problem was to "cut" the input boxes, which alowed input directly into each segment. And if I were the programmer I would have built the "fool proof test" right into those input boxes. So probably the boxes left and the "fool proof thing" with them.
3) When editing long sessions (i.e. so long that you will need the scroll bar to the right) the editor randomly looses count of what segment it is pointing at and so what segment it is editing. This often means that editing seems to go on where you think you are - but somewhat later some not intended segments were in reality edited.
4) I always use the pull down editing menu. Especially since stange things happened using the command line button "Delete Segment". I guess the real problem is the editor loosing count of where it is. I now use just and only the pull down meny "Cut" command instead. That is stable.
Kind Regards
