Known bugs, bug reporting



Here's a list of bugs I know about, gleaned from the list
<kenth@writeme.com> posted, plus a couple from _A_ and other IRC denizens.

Before reporting a bug that isn't on this list, please make sure you're
using the latest glib, gtk+, ORBit, and gnome-libs (within a day) from
CVS.

Best way to report a bug, since Jitterbug is a tad cumbersome and doesn't
seem to have worked for ages: post to gnome-list, try to condense all your
bugs into one message and title it "[BUGLIST]" or something obvious. :)

If you find an "unbug" (i.e. you can make the program not produce the
behaviour listed in the bug list when using it in the specified manner)
then do say so.

Now for the list:

Two from Alan:

Cursor redrawing
1. cursor/tab interaction bug

Easy demo "joe"  type tab h tab tab h tab space

Its weird.. some patterns trigger it but I dont know which/why

[Reproduced. Basically what happens is that it draws a cursor in the
middle of some of the tabs. It also happens about 50% of the time when
'h tab tab h' is typed. No idea what the problem is.]

2. Preferences, partially obscure the terminal window, select transparent
hit apply. Nothing occurs. Move the obscuring window away - that part is
refreshed transparent.

[I can't even get it to go transparent at all here... Whassrong?]
