From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Fernando Nasser To: Adam Schuetze Cc: Insight Mailing List Subject: Re: source window stops displaying executing code Date: Fri, 03 Nov 2000 15:21:00 -0000 Message-id: <3A034891.33CCBC9B@cygnus.com> References: <20001103141152.B1650@alpha.adam-schuetze.org> X-SW-Source: 2000-q4/msg00139.html Adam, I believe I fixed this very recently. The latest snapshot should not gave this problem (or at least so I hope). But, as you described the situation so well (even with screen shots!) I will give it a try next week and see if it is really fixed. If, however, you find some time to get the latest sources and see if the problem is solved I would appreciate. I can use any help. Thanks for the problem report. Fernando P.S.: There is a bug database accessible from the Insight web page at sources.redhat.com. The good thing about it is that you can check if your problem was already reported and fixed and also because bugs registered there won't be forgotten.
