Re: Fw: Staggered Cursor Movement in RDi V9

Edmund

Both issues are present for any source member: C, UIM, TXT, DDS, etc. When
in RPGLE with Auto-outline, they're just much worse.

Neither issue is present for any source member type in 8.5.1

Neither issue is present in v9 on my co-worker's machine, which is similar
in configuration.

Cursor disappearing:
Happens at all times with the auto-outline ON. When OFF, the duplicate
cursor at the top lags 1 space (sometimes several) behind the real cursor,
but it does move. Usually it just sits in column 1 till you let go the
arrow key. To reproduce: Open a member (any source type will do). Right
arrow accross any line to the end. Format line cursor does not move or lags
behind regular cursor some distance. Often progresses in chunks of 5 or 10
characters.

Blinky text:
The blinking shimmering text may be my video card but I have failed to
explain to myself why 9 does it an 8.5.1 does not, even running at the same
time side-by-side. Perhaps Eclipse's drawing routines changed in such a
manner as to tax my video card where it did not before in 3.4. To
reproduce: Open a member. Even a 20-line C module will do (does not seem
to pertain to source type). Just down arrow from top to bottom. Blinky
redrawing artifacts ensue, format line cursor is frozen, or delayed, or
lags behind regular cursor.


I am not a PMR-worthy user.

Stu, I would need to reproduce this in order to fix it.
Can I first confirm that this lag only happens in ILE RPG with the dynamic
outline?
Does this only happen with large members, or members with lots of files
being referenced?
To be honest I can't figure out what could cause this, so if you can
consistently reproduce it, please open a PMR, so we can get your
environment and figure this out.

Folks,

I just noticed this behaviour as well. I have a RocketSled PC with 96 TB
of physical ram (ha) and WinXP. Really, it is plenty juicy. Decent video
card as well.

It is very annoying, as when I am using the arrows I watch the ruler at the
top to see where I am on the line. Well, used to. It is bad with the
arrow keys, is it far worse with the spacebar.

The symptoms described in the OP did not happen in 8.5.1 with any
regularity (until you got to the 1024MB storage threshold, but then
everything went bad). In fact, I can run them side-by-side and V9 does it
and 8.5.1 does not. I'll add that the duplicate cursor in the ruler area
at t he top also disappears.

I have also noticed that just using the arrow key to go up one page (from
bottom to top of one page without scrolling it) blinks the whole page as it
redraws the text on every keystroke. It's sort of psychedelic as the lines
ripple and shimmer with white space streaking though them. Again, 8.5.1
did not ever do this and still does not today.

Perhaps the live parsing in V9 took a hit and now affects the display.
Parsing on every keystroke (per Edmund) might be a bit much, and that's
probably where the issue lies. Anyway, it sounds like an issue to be
investigated. A poor solution would be to have to disable the "more
timely" outline mode as that is easily 30% of the benefit of RDi. IMO.

Edmund - just found this in the archives:

"The Preference is found here in Rdp 8.5
Remote Systems->Remote Systems LPEX-> IBM i Parsers=> ILE RPG
checkbox "Update the Outline view when text is changed in the editor"

I used this to toggle the outline settings and it seems to have solved

the

problem - how bizarre...

Thanks for pointing me in the direction of the live outline toggle.
