Subject: Rule Editor bug
Date: Mon, 06 Nov 89 00:34:26 EST


1.  I deleted an action and the ruleeditor coredumped...

 X Protocol error:  BadDrawable, invalid Pixmap or Window parameter
  Major opcode of failed request:  70 (X_PolyFillRectangle)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x8000bc
  Serial number of failed request:  5753
  Current serial number in output stream:  5763

[1]    Exit 1               rulebrowser -force remind

Just tried it again.  Had three actions.  Deleted one and that was 
OK.  Deleted a second one and I got the following:


% BRIDGETOWN /mit/mackay/argus/rulesets
% X Protocol error:  BadDrawable, invalid Pixmap or Window parameter
  Major opcode of failed request:  70 (X_PolyFillRectangle)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x8000bc
  Serial number of failed request:  7568
  Current serial number in output stream:  7587

[1]    Exit 1               rulebrowser -force remind

Arggghhh...

2.  A variation of the last bug report.  If I select a menu, it 
should let me add a new field, and not be grayed out.  (Since you 
have two menu icons, it is not ambiguous where you want to add 
a new field or action.  And it doesn't make sense to have to select
a field before adding an action -- especially if you really want 
to replace the field.  There should be a default that it's added 
to the bottom, unless the person has selected a field or the 
control bar.)

3.  The menu for the actions goes off the screen if the ruleeditor 
is too low on the screen.  (The rule browser has a detachable menu,
which is one solution.  The other is what the old ruleeditor did, which 
is to appear relative to the bottom of the screen.)

4. I can copy text from an Xterm into the rule name text box, but none 
of the others.
