Known Issues

Performance

After a drag and drop from the item list to the report designer, performance is exceedingly slow. Windows task manager shows very high CPU use. This issue has been seen on only one PC and is easily reproduced on that system.

File open performance seems to degrade after extended product usage. If experienced, please save your work and then exit and restart Visimage.

Start Server

Occasionally the error "Unable to update the binding tree..." occurs during start server. The error will display the name of the macro and will usually repeat for every macro in the macro list. Pressing enter (repeatedly) will result in the server starting successfully, but with an incomplete or empty macro list.

Tool Windows (Item/Variable/Macro Lists)

- Drag and drop to grid windows (sort and compute) does not always work as expected

- Click + Shift-Click inserts fields in the wrong order

- Typing the first character(s) of a name does not work in "Tree View"

- Typing the first character(s) works once in "List View" (You must click back on the list again before typing more characters)

- Drag & Drop does not work from List View (only from Tree View)

Report Designer

The insertion point will occasionally "get lost". Usually, if you click on a field and then click on the background, the insertion point will reappear.

Miscellaneous

- The Status bar remains Active after canceling Start Server

- The Status Bar Displays the task name instead of the current output.
