Software Release Notes Page 119
SPECTRUM 5.0.1 SpectroSERVER, a core segmentation fault occurs when
you repeatedly destroy models found after an AutoDiscovery and with long
model names which now exist in SPECTRUM 6.0.
Solution: This problem will be corrected in a future release of
SPECTRUM.
Problem 11: On the Windows NT platform, when you print a .GRF report
on a Hewlett-Packard series 5 printer, the X and Y axis as well as part of
the heading are missing. However, on screen they display correctly.
Solution: This is a Neuron Data problem (Neuron Data bug problem ID
#8843).
Problem 12: When you start SPECTRUM applications from the command
line with the “-iconfiy” command, the main application window displays at
startup and then becomes iconified instead of directly iconifying the
window.
The applications that are affected are: ATM Logical Connection View;
Alarm Manager; Client View; Event Log; Search Manger; Event
Configuration Editor; User Editor, Watch Editor; and Watch Manager.
Solution: This is caused by a problem with Neuron Data.
Problem 13: In the Stack Link view on Windows NT, the pipe connecting
the two models is split horizontally, with one half black and one half gold.
Solution: This is a known Neuron Data bug (ND defect # 11069) and not
a bug with SPECTRUM. The pipe still returns important data since colors
are present.
Problem 14: On Windows NT, SPECTRUM applications do not respond to
“Minimize All Windows.” ,
Solution: This is a Neuron Data problem ND bug #10530 and
SPECTRUM case #42435. Although not a problem with SPECTRUM itself,
SPECTRUM is nevertheless working with Neuron Data on this problem.
