===================================================================== NOTE: see also src/Inventor/Win/common/BUGS.txt. ===================================================================== 000 The CTRL key can get "stuck", due to how SoWinKeyboardDevice detects modifier keys only when they are pressed or released. 20020618 mortene, detected by oso. ===================================================================== 001 SoWinPlaneViewer will crash when rotating, because of our call to get the range of valid line sizes when throwing up the superimposition "anchor" graphics. By adding a counter to the glLock / glUnlock methods of SoWinGLWidget, one can see that they doesn't match up (the counter dips below zero). The bug is very likely related to this. 20020618 mortene. (Update 20020718 mortene: this seems to be fixed now -- at least it doesn't crash on my home machine. Check to see that it doesn't crash on ask.trh.sim.no any more -- as it did before.) ===================================================================== 002 Fullscreen mode does no longer work. (I'm seeing this on my home machine, at least.) 20020624 mortene. Update 20021220 mortene: pederb fixed this? I'm not seeing it on ask.trh.sim.no, at least. Will try on my home machine too, before removing this bug item. ===================================================================== 003 SoWin never stops processing the Coin/Inventor sensor queues. Reproduce by inserting some debug output in the SoSensorManager::process*() functions, and see how they are invoked even with a still camera on a scene without any animating parts. 20021015 mortene. ===================================================================== 004 Win32-specific build problem: if Coin is a static library, SoWin must also be built static and *without* including Coin. If built as a DLL under those circumstances, the static library we depend on will be linked into the DLL -- but without it being accessible from the application code. Then an app programmer is likely to include several instances of Coin, which results in various sorts of difficult to understand problems. 20021118 mortene. UPDATE 20030604 mortene: this is now automatically detected in Coin (at least I think so, I haven't yet tested if it actually works), and a MessageBox() which explains the problem will pop up. The problem will likely still be hard to _solve_ for the app programmer, though.. ===================================================================== 005 Wrapped in ActiveX as a browser plug-in, Coin + SoWin crashes on plug-in exit. We've got a reproducible case for this from an external Coin user. (Code that works with TGS's Inventor + InventorWin, but fails with Coin + SoWin.) To get the code, ask mortene. 20021218 mortene. ===================================================================== 006 Tooltips on viewer buttons. The functionality of the different viewer pushbuttons is not entirely obvious, so we should add tooltips on the buttons. 20030114 mortene. ===================================================================== 007 The ALT key functionality in the viewers are not working properly. The ALT key is supposed to temporarily switch event handling from camera-interaction mode to scenegraph-interaction mode, but it doesn't seem to work as expected for SoWin. (Not at all, so it's no problem to reproduce the buggy behavior.) (As for the other toolkits: for at least SoQt, it's ok.) 20030124 mortene. ===================================================================== 008 Mouse movement causes continuous cursor updates? pederb reports that he is seeing this. Investigate. 20030204 mortene. ===================================================================== 009 SoWin crashes on something that works with SoQt. The following example works with SoQt, but crashes on start-up with SoWin: ----8<--- [snip] ---------8<--- [snip] ---------8<--- [snip] --- #include <Inventor/@Gui@/So@Gui@.h> #include <Inventor/@Gui@/viewers/So@Gui@ExaminerViewer.h> #include <Inventor/nodes/SoCone.h> #include <Inventor/nodes/SoSphere.h> int main(int argc, char **argv) { @WIDGET@ mainWindow = So@Gui@::init(argv[0]); So@Gui@ExaminerViewer *viewer1 = new So@Gui@ExaminerViewer(mainWindow); viewer1->setSceneGraph(new SoCone); viewer1->viewAll(); So@Gui@RenderArea *viewer2 = new So@Gui@RenderArea( NULL, "viewer", true, true, true); viewer2->setSceneGraph(new SoSphere); viewer1->show(); viewer2->show(); So@Gui@::show(mainWindow); So@Gui@::mainLoop(); return 0; } ----8<--- [snip] ---------8<--- [snip] ---------8<--- [snip] --- 20030214 mortene. ===================================================================== 010 Uninstalling SoWin from the Nullsoft installer system (makensis) fails in nasty ways. thammer: "Uninstalling sowin doesn't work. Some directories are wiped out entirely (deleting coin and simage specific files too), and some sowin files aren't deleted." The first part of this is bad. Consider for instance that this means an SoWin _*upgrade_* will destroy the underlying Coin installation. 20030604 mortene. ===================================================================== 011 sowin-config from a binary Windows package doesn't report correct paths for everything. At least the include-paths are wrong. 20030604 mortene, reported by thammer. ===================================================================== 012 Push button up/down status not working for "scene"/"camera" interaction buttons. It's ok from the start when firing up e.g. the ExaminerViewer, but when switching to "scene interaction" mode (and also back again) the down status of the button doesn't stick. 20030610 mortene. ===================================================================== 013 SoWin::init() crashes when called twice. To aid when using Coin in special run-time environments, like e.g. inside an ActiveX controller, it should be possible to use the SoWin::init() + SoWin::mainLoop() sequence more than one time without crashing. Fixing this will take a bit of a clean-up operation in the two above mentioned functions (plus SoWin::done(), and besides, SoWin::init() comes in 3 different flavors). This is a problem of medium priority, IMO. We've had a fair share of external requests to fix this. 20031012 mortene. ===================================================================== 014 Keyboard focus flaw Note that the focus grabbing has one known flaw: when using e.g. Alt+TAB to select an SoWinComponent window, the form widget will get the focus, and not the GL widget. For built-in, non-abstract classes this only has practical consequences for the SoWinRenderArea, as SoWinFullViewer passes on focus to the GL widget when it receives WM_SETFOCUS messages. We should make sure that focus is set to the OpenGL canvas if any widget from the top-level container widget and down receives focus. 20031215 thammer, based on note written by mortene. ===================================================================== 015 Missing SoWin::nextEvent() / SoWin::dispatchEvent() Needed to implement your own event-processing mainloop. Will probably also need to expose doIdleTasks() (SoWinP) to be able to reimplement SoWin::mainLoop() in the application. Frederic Rouas has sent the following simple patch: --------- Hello, I propose you the following patch (tested on
