2.9.8 problems

[glh]

Just installed 2.9.8 and noticed the following problems (do not know
if problems exist on previous releases)

(1) OCONV("3031234567","ML(###)###-####") results in ... 30)312-3456

(2) When telneting remotely (not localhost), when pressing <RETURN>
from TCL command line, the current line seems to 'clear' and then
'redisplay'

See the PICK.ML.CONV.MASK mode of the OPTION command for the solution.

If this happens it is because the panning command line feature may need to
repaint the line. Even if it is happening, I am surprised that you can see
it. Are you on a very slow connection?

I can not speak to problem 2.

However, I believe that the solution for problem 1 is to have an
option for PICK.ML.CONV.MASK.

I have this turned on for my system.

I just tested this on a prebuild of 2.9-9 and it works fine.

Here are the results:

P.S. Are you located in CO ?

Hi Martin,

No, fast connection -> 10/100/1000 wired switch. - Visually, it gives
a 'blinking' effect (off/on)

WIl check out the OPTION setting - thanks

Ironically, I moved from the Firestone/Longmont area a couple of years
ago.

Hi again Gary,

I have taken a look at the way in which the command processor repaints the
line on entering a command to ensure that the panning command line is
correctly displayed. I can see that we could optimise it a bit to remove the
repaint if the line is not panned and the command is not bing recalled from
the command stack but I am still surpised that you notice anything on the
terminal.

What terminal emulator do you use and what terminal type have you selected?

H Martin,

Using Accuterm as the terminal emulator. Have tried numerous term
types (vt100,vt320, vp series, etc.)
all with the same result. Again, whats unusual is that the localhost
connection (also using Accuterm with one
of the aforementioned term types) does behave correctly.

Thanks,

Gary

Hi Gary,

It's probably not worth taking this any further as we have made a change for
release 2.9-9 (this week if all goes to plan) that will not repaint the line
unless it needs to do so to show the command correctly after use of panning,
an overlong command or recalling a command from the history.

Hi Martin,

Just installed 2.9.9 and the problem appears to have been resolved :)

Thanks,

Gary
