Bugs: ChIPS GUI

Bugs
Bugs fixed in CIAO 4.5

Bugs

Deleting an object then undoing it does not display the object properties in the GUI

For example:

show_gui()
select object so that it's properties are shown in the properties pane
press delete to delete it
select undo

The properties pane is empty when you expect the object's properties to be displayed since it is selected in the Info pane.

Bugs fixed in CIAO 4.5

The following is a list of bugs that were fixed in the CIAO 4.5 software release.

Axes that have arbitrary tick marks set are not showing up correctly in the gui.

The widget which displays the tickmark location and values is displaying the values but not displaying the location. The location is always set to zero.

Pan mode does not work on startup

Although the menu indicates that the GUI is in pan mode on startup, the mouse pointer is displayed as an arrow, not a hand.

Workaround:

Change the mode to range or select and then back to pan and the mouse pointer will be a hand.

Error when overwriting an ASCII Python save file

If you try to save as ASCII Python file from the GUI and the file exists, the GUI asks if it's OK to overwrite it. Even if you say yes, a traceback error is printed:

RuntimeError: chips ERROR: The output file /pool14/username/test already
exists but export.clobber is set to false

Overwriting a binary save file does not work.

If you try to save as a binary file with an existing filename, the GUI will ask you to approve overwriting the file, but does not overwrite the existing file on disk and does not print any error messages.
