#3463 : still crash with 1.2.104 - the problem is not construct/with, 
it's using an object containing a recursive block as prototype :
b: copy [] append/only b b 
an-object: make object! [a: b]
make an-object [] ; crash

like
  b: copy [] append/only b b copy/deep b

make object makes deep copies of all blocks. sure that crashes. crash 
should should be a softer?

Gabriele: Yes it stills seems wrong to me. Compare the last two columns 
of the display given by this:

thanks brett. added link to ticket.

Anamonitor fails on the last beta, i do not know why:
** Script Error: Invalid graphics face object
** Where: view
** Near: show scr-face
if new [do-events]

could it be regarded a bug in interpreter parser?
>> ; test
>> ; test "aaaa
** Syntax Error: Missing " at ; test "aaaa

Gabriele: where might I find  1.2.104 for Solaris  (sans X11)

favourite bug - the one where an encapped application is unable to 
launch another instance after it does a system call

But for 1.3 .. I have to think about this.

Particles & Bubbles demo are a true CPU eater under linux... refresh 
of the GUI desktop under linux drops very quickly when 2 times running 
Particles demo...

that was after doing a "fg job-id" and kill parent...

View Test folder
 : I guess it's under IOS/Developper, isn't it ?

No its a new folder in View/Desktop

Oh, OK. Did not run Desktop this last days (months ?) ;-)

Romano: that should be fixed, that error came out whenever there 
was a face with size = 0x0

pekr: that happens in 1.2.1 too, and i think it's a console quirk.

tom: i meant, if you could repeat the test on windows. if it's solaris 
only, we'll need to wait for that then.

yeah, I know ... just curious .... I tried to paste some script, 
and those comments did not allow me to, as it contained " char, which 
was not closed, but it was comment section, so it should be imo ignored 
...

in such case rebol console should look after line-break imo?

#3656 "copy/part open/direct/read/binary what-dir 100000 ;=CRASH"
Looks nice and stable from View 1.2.104.3.1

Graham: i found out that you can search any field with the "Search 
for:" input box. so if you input "Graham" there, it will show all 
tickets from you.

With 1.2.107 (and may be others), when I launch a script from the 
desktop (clicking its icon) the new interpreter open a security request 
to read %rebol.r in the directory where the interpreter is (ie: %/c/rebol/view/).
Something wrong with 'secure setting ?

With rebview 1.2.102.4.2 (linux) im getting sometimes this during 
startup -> 
..
..
...
Type "desktop" to start desktop.
WARNING: CALL function enabled in this version.

>> REBOL console error (1)

nothing like that under Windows ...

DideC: i think that's still because the install code is missing (i.e. 
the betas don't have an installer)

Yes, maybe. It does the same with 1.2.48 and 1.2.57!

rebolinth: what linux distro/version gives that?

Wow. I read the call for bugs, I check my favorites to see if they 
have been fixed, I submit one to RAMBO that was half-fixed a while 
ago. Two days later, there's a new build (104) that fixes my bug 
(3685). This is the quickest bug fix I've ever experienced from REBOL 
Tech. Bravo!

Gabriele - thanks.  I that most of my reports are still in the "reviewed" 
class.

Draw Test with REBOL/View 1.2.107.3.1 under Win98 causes an error

-------------------

sqlab: that's the draw.r test script? does that happen on win98 only?

This is http://www.rebol.net/tests/view/draw-test.r.
This happens only with Win98.
I tested it with Win2000 and it worked

But there is the difference, that Win2000 was not connected to the 
Internet.

Worked under Win2000 internet connected.

With 1.2.106.3.1 and 1.2.107.3.1 : bug with pen color setting in 
draw block:
view layout [box white effect [draw [
	pen none box 10x10 70x20 ; invisible box
	pen black                                ; pen to black
	pen none box 10x30 70x50 ; invisible box
]]]
is ok,  but not
view layout [box white effect [draw [
	pen none box 10x10 70x20 ; invisible box
	pen black text 12x32 "hello" ; pen to black, some text

 pen none box 10x30 70x50 ; without AGG (->1.2.48), invisible box, 
 with AGG (alpha & 1.2.106+), visible box
]]]
Drawing something with a visible pen breaks invisible pen usage.

(submitted to RAMBO)

Sqlab: Can you provide more detailed info about the crash you mentioned? 
Can be reproduced by repeating the draw-test.r? In what exact part 
of the test Rebol crashed? Thanks.

Vincent: thanks for the report. We know about this problem and will 
be fixed in 1.3.

Another problem with AGG : draw text does not render foreign chars 
:

view layout [text "Après noël en forêt" box 150x20 effect [draw [text 
0x0 "Après noël en forêt"]]]

I wonder what font AGG use ? None of the ASCII 128+ char are displayed, 
 except 251 that show "OBJ" in a box !!

Here is a more complete test :

base: [text (c) 40x20 effect [draw [text 20x0 (c)]]]

lay: [origin 0 space 1 across]
for i 16 31 1 [
	for j 0 7 1 [
		c: copy to-string to-char 8 * i + j
		append lay compose/deep base
	]
	append lay 'return
]
view layout lay

Gabriele: Linux Slackware kernel 2.4.26

Ill post it Rambo

Draw text : added to RAMBO.

I believe that text rendering will not be included in View1.3 version 
of AGG/Draw. It will come a bit later.

what exactly is meant by that? 1.2.107 renders fine anti aliased 
text.

henrik: antialiased text only works in windows, so it will not be 
in 1.3
