SpectroGRAPH
Known SpectroGRAPH Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.5
SPECTRUM Software Release Notice Page 73
Solution: Avoid enabling opaque window dragging by not turning on
“Show window contents while dragging.” This feature can be turned
off in Control Panel|Display|Plus!. This problem may be corrected in a
future release of SPECTRUM.
Problem 3: On the Solaris platform, when you change the background
size of the Universe view to a larger size than the default size, close the edit,
maximize the view, and then move the view, the menus appear to remain
back at the position where the view was before moving it. Menus appear to
be floating outside the view.
Solution: This is a problem with MOTIF. Sun Microsystems has been
alerted to this problem which is under investigation. Try to avoid resizing
the SpectroGRAPH window.
Problem 4: On the Windows NT platform, when you print a Graphical
Report Format (.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 ID #8843).
Problem 5: When a user is running an application against a server from
another workstation other than the one they were created on, that user will
not receive updated changes to the Preference files. This is a normal
condition. When preferences are modified from the original defaulted
values, the changes get saved to the user preference (.*prf) file in the user’s
home directory. Since the file is in the user’s home directory, other users
in the group are not able to “share” the modified preference values if they
are running applications from a remote desktop.
Solution: This is a normal result of SPECTRUM security. Aprisma may
investigate a way to change preference setting to distinguish between
preconnect preferences and those preferences that get saved to the Server
in the User Group model.
Problem 6: On Windows NT, individual user preference configuration files
from the User Editor (.prf files) are stored in the root directory instead of
the user’s directory after their creation. If later another user launches the
application, those files get overwritten.
