I decided to look in bugzilla myself, and I found that it was
indeed entered as a bug by the ever-gracious Mr. Gaskin on
23.3.06. Marcus from Runrev accepted that it "is pathological"
and should probably be considerd a bug (and it is indeed still
open as a bug). When I searched back through the archive for March
this year, I found there was already a lengthy discussion of this
between you, Mark Smith, and Richard. All three of you agreed it
seemed to be a bug, and Richard even told you he put it in bugzilla
for you (in fact, he entered 2 bug reports for it).
Yes, I said I'd revisited it since people seem keen to fix bugs. Read
my first post.
In bugzilla it is given a severity of minor, which since it only
appears to affect your idiomatic usage of Rev, and since Richard
provided you with a workaround (even though it is one that you do
not like), "minor" is probably a reasonable severity.
Whatever. It just means that:
put "xxxx" into me
OR
set the text of me to "xxxx"
Is not 100% reliable. That maybe ok for you, but it makes me worried.
The point is that it makes using that form of the statement
unacceptable for me to use (ever) so I just use the slower form. It
also means that when you write code you have to be aware that it may
not work, depending, not on the code itself, but from the path it was
called from. If you are happy with that, then good luck. I'm not, but
I have one (slow) work-around so I live with it along with all the
other bugs, it would be nice if someone would confirm the sharedText
property aspect of it, but since I've been waiting since March, I
guess that won't happen any time soon.
What then is the point of you bringing up the matter again and
asking us to discuss if this behaviour is buggy, when you must know
full well that it has already been accepted as a bug? Not only did
you not have to go to the trouble of entering this bug, according
to bugzilla you haven't even bothered to vote for it yourself!
Explained above.
I fail to understand your conception of yourself as someone who
wants Runrev to do well. Your words and actions on this list
suggest the opposite to me.
I just want bugs that are fundamental to the whole system to be fixed.
I wish I had the magnanimty of Richard Gaskin.
I guess that Richard just reads my messages for what they are and
does not take as personally as you seem to do.
All the Best
Dave
