Crashing while printing card in Linux 2.9 rc2: the answer

2008-03-25 Thread Peter Alcibiades
The answer is, there is a bug, helpfully tracked down by Rev development: If a field color and pattern is set to anything, printing will cause an instant crash. So the answer is to do CLEAR on all the settings in colors and patterns for all fields. Hope this is helpful to someone else.

Re: modal dialog box is open

2008-03-25 Thread Len Morgan
Is it possible that the modal stack that you can get around is set to some other type besides Modal or TopLevel? IIRC, if you set the type of the stack to say, palette, you cannot use go stack xxx modal to change it. I think the only stacks you can change in this way are TopLevel stacks.

Hi JB, You should be able to display modal dialogs from other modal dialogs. This is normal. However, you cannot bring any window, including other modal dialogs, to front by clicking on it while a modal dialog is on screen. Nor can you edit any modal dialog. You need to make it toplevel
