setpen(getUserBorderColor(),getUserPenSize());
« on: September 04, 2008, 05:51:32 pm »
If all the other bugs I've reported this week weren't enough...

    setpencolor(getUserBorderColor());
    setpenwidth(getUserPenSize());
works...
as does:
    setpen(getUserBorderColor(),<digit>);

BUT:
    setpen(getUserBorderColor(),getUserPenSize());

puts EA into a loop from which there may be no escape...  On my machine, I have to swtich it off as there's no way to get a response...

Reported...

Take care,
Paolo

You do seem to have a talent for stepping into holes, don't you!

It's called the "Cantoni Effect".

Show me a system you think works and I'll find a bug in 5 mins...

In previous lives I was also a Test Manager...

I just want to use the product...  Not test it!
