Category: Crasher/nasty bug Group: None Status: Open Resolution: None Priority: 5 Private: No Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: strangeness when linking every point of two Bline shapes Initial Comment: Directions: Open up a new file. Pick the Bline tool and make two different shapes, i.e. closed Bline loops. (In my case I created two circles where each circle was a two-point Bline loop, each set to fill and not to outline. It doesn't seem to matter how many points these shapes have or whether the shapes overlap each other; the error still occurs.) Select both shapes and press ctrl-A to select all the points. Right-click on one of the green dots and select "link". (This was a mistaken attempt to link one circle inside of another one. I forgot that you need to select two points in particular, one from each shape, before you link.) At this point strange behavior occurs. The two shapes disappear, and you see a rectangle (for setting something, not a shape) and one of those lines with the three points you see in Bline shapes. When you click on one of those Bline points, the line itself seems to rotate or scale outward (it's probably best to see it for one's self), and you get either this: (synfigstudio.exe:1848): Gdk-WARNING **: ../../../../gtk+/gdk/win32/gdkdrawable-win32.c:1416: Polyline failed: Arithmetic result exceeded 32 bits. ...or something like this: synfig(1848) [4:12:36 PM] info: rotation: 1.00 turns synfig(1848) [4:12:36 PM] info: rotation: 0.50 turns ...or both. It seems to be somewhat unpredictable, and if you fool around with it enough, it flies off the screen and gives you the "Polyline failed" error. The root of the problem is probably that it doesn't make sense to link _every_ vertex of one Bline shape to _every_ vertex of another Bline shape. I think a good solution would be to forbid linking in this way and give the user an error message. For the record, I was trying to link a pupil with an iris so that modifying the iris's size and shape would alter the pupil's size and shape. I use a PC with Windows XP. I downloaded the Windows installers for version 0.61.08 for gtk, gtkmm, synfig, and synfigstudio. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=757416&aid=1918825&group_id=144022 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
