Trac

As of March 2007, the "Trac" issue tracker has been enabled for the mcclim project. It can be found at http://trac.common-lisp.net/mcclim/. New problem reports should be submitted there. Migration of current bug reports to Trac would also be useful.

N.B.: most of the links in this page point to messages that are different from, and unrelated to, the intended ones, due to the unexpected consequences of an upgrade to clim-devel list archiving software. They will be eventually fixed here manually with new links to the corresponding Gmane archive, but this will take time -- Paolo Amoroso, 14 August 2005. This page lists the oustanding *(Bug)s of McCLIM. When a bug is closed, its entry may be removed. Instructions:

add new entries at the top (use other entries as templates)
if a more complete description is available elsewhere, provide a link
pick a unique symbolic identifier for the bug, e.g. a Lisp symbol (see also the HTML source)
sign and date each entry

Error when typing nonexistent symbol at Listener: listener-nonexistent-symbol -- Paolo Amoroso, 1 Jan 2005 Originally reported by Paolo Amoroso on 30 May 2004.

Missing :inherit-menu arg in define-command-table, make-command-table: command-table-inherit-menu -- Paolo Amoroso, 31 Dec 2004 Originally reported by Paolo Amoroso on 5 sep 2004.

(setf frame-current-layout) does not work: setf-frame-current-layout-broken -- Paolo Amoroso, 28 Dec 2004 Originally reported by Robert Strandh on 25 Dec 2004.
RADIO-BOX-VIEW class wanted --- Robert Goldman 03 Jan 2005: The original requestor reported that his system didn't port from Allegro CLIM because of this missing class. I do not endorse this as a bug --- it may simply be an Allegro extension that is missing and that McCLIM need not support. FWIW, Scigraph seems to want this symbol (at least as revealed by no inspection more semantically clueful than Unix find).
Table-pane :spacing initarg appears to have no effect: Reported by Andy Hefner, 25 Jan 2005.
Degrafted sheets should not retain their medium: Currently when a sheet is degrafted it retains its medium. Attempting to output to such a sheet will result in a CLX error (The value NIL is not of type XLIB:WINDOW), which is less than ideal. We should probably be calling degraft-medium somewhere. -- Andy Hefner, 27 Feb 2005
format-graph-from-roots will not accept all :duplicate-test values admissible in spec.: The CLIM spec calls for format-graph-from-root to accept any predicate of two arguments as :duplicate-test. The existing code in layout-graph-nodes assumes that this will only be one of the Equality testing predicates acceptable to make-hash-table.
Patch submitted. Not yet applied. -- Robert Goldman, 31 July 2005
Gadget displays are not updated when gadget-value is reset.: Andy Hefner reports:
I don't think (setf (gadget-value ...) ...) works right in our current implementation - the slot value may change, but the graphic display won't be updated, and strange things may happen relating to multiple selection.
See this email. Robert Goldman, 31 July 2005
Can't change items list in list-pane/option-pane: Paolo reports
My plans for a file selection dialog are on hold due to the limitations of McCLIM's implementation of list-pane and option-pane. List panes would be a natural way of maintaining directory and file lists in such a dialog, but they can currently no longer be updated after creation.
See this thread. Robert Goldman, 31 July 2005

Closed Bugs

draw-arrow* doesn't preserve transformations (includes fix): draw-arrow-transformation -- Paolo Amoroso, 20 Aug 2006 Originally reported by Luigi Panzeri on 19 Aug 2006.
Allegro lisp that has mk-defsystem experiences a "defsystem" package collision --- Robert Goldman 03 Jan 2005: Originally reported by Robert Goldman on 27 December 2004. The problem is that the system file first checks for mk-defsystem being loaded and, if it is loaded, tries to import the mk:defsystem into the COMMON-LISP-USER package. Unfortunately, if you try this with Allegro, it will clash with the symbol EXCL:DEFSYSTEM, which is already imported into COMMON-LISP-USER. Report contains patch. The posted patch has not yet been accepted into the repository. An alternate to the posted patch would be to load system.lisp into a new package, rather than COMMON-LISP-USER, so that we could control the package imports better. My preference would be for the conceptually simpler package name referencing.

Copying text to clipboard loops displaying messages to Konsole: loop-when copying-text -- Paolo Amoroso, 2 Mar 2005. This may not be a McCLIM bug, it is probably related to the Klipper KDE clipboard tool. Originally reported by Paolo Amoroso on 28 Feb 2005. Fixed.
Package lock errors when compiling/loading with CMUCL 19 or later: listener-cmucl-package-lock -- Paolo Amoroso, 3 Jan 2005. Compiling or loading the CLIM Listener with CMUCL 19 or later causes package lock errors for the common-lisp, debug and ext packages. Fix. Fix applied.

Clim-Fig doesn't ignore figure presentation highliting: clim-fig-presentation-highlighting -- Paolo Amoroso, 30 Dec 2004 Originally reported by Paolo Amoroso on 17 Oct 2004. This is now fixed, probably by the combination of changes checked in here, here and here.
