I noticed today that you mention an upcoming update. Any chance the graphics problem in the edit window will be fixed? I've had it for the last couple of releases, although I haven't seen any mention of it here, oddly (I think I emailed about it awhile ago...) Basically, any time I move the sliders in the edit window, the image breaks up and I need to actually resize the window to to get it to redraw again. It's harmless, but very annoying. I'm attaching a screenshot in case I'm the only person seeing this for some reason. Thanks! best, IP: Logged | |

Does this ever happen when the entire window is on screen? Or does it happen only when part of the window is off screen? Thanks. IP: Logged | |

Hi SSC, I haven't noticed any circumstances in which it doesn't happen... It happens on both my dual G4 desktop and my intel macbook pro, with the last two versions of Kyma X (I think 6.45 and 6.46?). Are other people not seeing this? best, IP: Logged | |

This 'image breakup' also happens when using Spaces in OSX (mentioned in a previous post) - resizing the windows works as a workaround. IP: Logged | |

Actually I'm still having this problem. But I don't think I ever tried installing the combo update, as suggested by Camille, after all - It's mostly just an annoyance. But is anyone also having problems with cutting and pasting? I find that the copy buffer tends to get copied over with any highlighted text, so that, for example, if I copy some code, when I highlight some other code to paste over, instead when I perform the paste, I find that what I am pasting is now the text that I have just highlighted. It's very strange. IP: Logged | |

quote: Is it possible that this happens only after you *delete* the highlighted text? In other words: 1. Copy some text If so then this behavior is buried deep in the guts of Smalltalk itself. Many years ago, we actually met the (famous computer scientist) who is responsible for this feature, and when we pointed it out to him, he insisted that this is the way that copy/paste *should* work and that every other program has it wrong. (Computer scientists, like artists, can sometimes have pretty strong opinions). IP: Logged | |

I think you are right - that is what I am doing. It's funny that I didn't notice this behavior for the first year or two that I used Kyma. Maybe I just developed this habit of deleting before pasting in the last year... I never was able to figure out exactly how to replicate the problem dependably enough to formulate a bug report about it. Now I know enough to just avoid it, I think. That's a funny anecdote. It's a very strange way to have a copy and paste function - I guess he was not using a cut function, and using the delete key as cut. Thanks! IP: Logged | |

quote: yes, i have been doing that and thanks for the reply. i thought i remembered reading about this but didn't find it during my search. is spaces "system wide" ? i was having the problem before i tried integrating spaces into my workflow and wasn't having this problem on a different machine with leopard installed.

I don't think it's Spaces - isn't that a Leopard feature? I'm not on Leopard... IP: Logged | |

hello Phill from your description i understood you were having the problem occur in the edit windows which i didn't have occurring under tiger. i have it on all kyma windows including the prototype strip, sound file windows, edit windows and the sound browser window.

yes 'Spaces' is a Leopard feature: http://www.apple.com/macosx/features/spaces.html I wasn't getting the graphics issues in Leopard before I activated Spaces - it is quite useful though having different apps; each with multiple windows, on separate desktops - otherwise a single desktop can become cluttered up - especially if an app doesn't move all of it's windows behind an app which has been brought into the foreground.

re: the Copy and Paste behaviour, now I know who to shout at when this feature raises it's head :-) quote: No, not always. And what I find annoying is that when I want to copy and paste something into a Kyma window, the first time I paste, it does not work. But the second attempt, and further attempts usually work fine. This is on both Mac and PC as far as I can see... No biggy, but it's been like that for years. David IP: Logged | |

Kyma isn't the only app to dislike Spaces - Ableton Live has the same problem. Perhaps there's a bug in *Spaces* rather than Kyma or Live. The attached file shows the resulting effect with Ableton Live. [This message has been edited by photonal (edited 13 February 2009).] IP: Logged | |

Microsoft Office is pretty much useless as well with Spaces. I can't find it now, but I did read a write-up that points the finger at Apple. Less because it is a 'bug' but largely due to changes the UI can be drawn. It is particularly troublesome for those with multiple windows in an app and coming from older (ie, non-cocoa) frameworks.
