It's Apple bug #3078545, FYI, and is a problem where Appearance Manager makes invalid assumptions about what the current background pattern is. Any app that changes the pattern and then draws a pushbutton could run into (not just RR/MC apps). It's only a problem in 10.2 and most likely only going to be a problem when running RR (we've never seen it in MC) because of the way it changes the patterns to update the toolbar and palettes when the selection changes. It's possible to cause the problem in standalones, though this is unlikely unless you use "standard" style buttons together with other types of controls with their backPattern set and force redraws to occur in a particular order. We've already worked around this bug for MC 2.5/RR 2.0. It's a highly reproducible bug, so if you must release your application before this new version of MC/RR is released, just be sure to test it on a 10.2 system to make sure you didn't just stumble on the "magic incantation". If you don't see the problem, neither will your customers.

Re: app crashes frequently
It is a known bug in the IDE for 1.1.1 and will be fixed in 2.0 (it already is in the alpha version). I never see the bug in existing projects but see it right away in new ones. Since the Revolution folks have never characterized it (beyond saying that it is a bug in the Mac OS) so it is hard to know what triggers it.

Re: app crashes frequently
i changed the look and feel accordingly and no more crashes now. it thus appears that there is some kind of bug in Rev 1.1.1. let's hope that this will be solved in 2.0 thanks for your quick help. best, olli. 11/4/02, David Vaughan wrote: On Monday, Nov 4, 2002, at 07:29 Australia/Sydney, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: i am running Rev 1.1.1. under os X 10.2.1. on a Pismo. so far i haven't done much developing, because the app CRASHES ALL THE TIME. anybody else with the same experience? olli.

Oliver I do use a Mac (10.2.1). I have it from some of the best people on this list that this problem exists on their systems and to use the "emulated" workaround, and accept that it is so. However, I do not share the problem, finding 1.1.1 stable with Look and Feel set to Mac OS Appearance Manager (perhaps it relates to different things we are doing with the app; when it comes to multimedia, I'm somewhere else). So, firstly, the change may work for you, and secondly, if it does not then the problem almost certainly does not lie in RR on the Mac but in something else in your system. regards David Roger Eller [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
