Re: gEDA-user: PCB: Graphical bugs
Hi, I just finished installing Fedora Core 5 and retested the bugs in the latest PCB I got from CVS. Bug 1 (selection rectange on solder size) was fixed and now it's updated in the CVS. Bug 2 (rectangle of designators on solder size) and 3 (placing vias and wires with auto pan on) don't happen in FC5. Bug 4 (visible grid from solder side) is still valid, but this was already confirmed by Larry. BTW, I remembered wrong and previously I had FC3 not FC4 as I wrote in the mail. Thanks for the quick replies, fixes and the CVS updates.

When I'm on the solder side and I move a part designator (which is temporarily replaced with a rectangle during the move) then I still get the same incorrect rectange graphic as in case 1. The CVS committers don't sit around waiting to apply each patch as I post it. :-( And of course if they did, they'd also have to revert those changes about half the time. Double :-( Assuming you use the gtk gui, grab my patch from http://archives.seul.org/geda/dev/Jul-2006/msg00058.html The auto pan is toggled with the right mouse button. It's described in the key reference (under the Window menu): while drawing or moving, a click without a drag toggles auto pan mode. Cool. That helps a lot. 4. When on the solder side the grid only appears in a vertical band at the middle of the board. The width of this band is the same as the visible width of the board at the current zoom level. Probably there is a sign inversion problem with the X coordinate somewhere, as when scrolling instead of the band following the visible board area it seems to move in the opposite X direction. I noticed that too. I'll add it to my to-do list. - Larry ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

I guess bug 2 is something similar to this. I didn't check it before, but bug 2 is not present on my gtk build that includes my second patch (Thu, 13 Jul 2006 19:36:26 -0700). 3. On my Fedora Core 4 installation when I place wires/vias/etc with the auto pan feature on most of the times the element gets placed one grid position below the intended location and the board is scrolled by the same amount. Wether or not this happens depends on the mouse cursor position relative to the grid at the time of clicking the mouse button. When auto pan is off it works correctly. But how about 3? Is it only on my system or has anybody else have it? In a quick try, I didn't see it. I did notice that auto-pan moves the wrong way left/right when on the solder side. How do I turn off auto pan? - Larry ___ geda-user mailing list geda-user@moria.seul.org http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user

I don't get case 3 all the time, but often enough to render auto pan useless to me. Seems like the behaviour of auto pan from the solder side is a little random (seems to depend on zoom level too). Sometimes the up/down scrolling also does side scrolling. The auto pan is toggled with the right mouse button. It's described in the key reference (under the Window menu): while drawing or moving, a click without a drag toggles auto pan mode. Previously I forgot to report bug 4. 4.
