Re: RDi 9.5 announcement

Vern,

Not daily, but maybe weekly and/or bi-weekly, and very intermediately.

Last time, I called over my co-workers, just to make sure I was NOT going CRAZY...

They saw that I could not type, hit delete, and that my cursor disappeared. Then I clicked on many different views, and then it finally got the "signal" to work again. The CPU at 10%, and resources were available. As confirmed by Dot-Netter co-workers, who have reliable Visual Studio.

Anyway, restarting always at least temporary fixes keyboard errors, or clicking on at least 3-different views... <Perplexing>

I don't know what you are doing that raises these issues. I don't have to restart RDi ever, yet you report it's a daily issue.

Admittedly, I don't do any debugging in RDi - perhaps that will change now that we'll have a 5250 emulation IN RDi.

I have also been a user of the M$ IDEs and find them to be most excellent. Some of the new indentation support is bringing us closer to how it is when editing VB, I think.

Now one of the challenges is, the editor still needs to support the 8-80 style of source data, with the mixed free and fixed stuff, too.

I do get surprised by some of the repaint issues and repositioning that seems odd. But it's not been enough to warrant, for me, raising too many alarms - although I might eventually!

Cheers
Vern

Intermediate, not full time. But still very annoying!

Like the save-icon not working, as the dot-netters laugh, and say it works in Microsoft products. <frown> As they hear me cussing.

Every so often my delete key stops working, cursor disappears. And force to create new workspace. Not very often, but still happens. That does not happen in Microsoft Products.

If I could repeat the error on a consistent basis, I would open dozens of PMR to get these fixed. But it is quirky, and I have no clue why it happens. It "seems" to happen most when I am debugging a program for some strange reason. Not repeatable tough. That is the part that drives me BONKERS!!!! And I KNOW for a fact, I am NOT THE ONLY ONE...
<sad face>

OH well, I need shut-up. I need to get use to re-starting RDI several times during the day. And then maybe re-create new work-space and move on is the motto for this product.

A new release is NO GOOD, if it breaks things that worked fine in a previous release. I hope and pray that IBM does QUALITY control on this release BEFORE releasing it to the public...

Yes, I am skeptical, as past experience have taught me that...
<Big Frown>

New features are worthless, if the base package is not 100% stable...

PS. I hope I eat humble-pie and crow!!!!
<Big Smile>

RDI user for over 9-years now. Still a WHOLE LOT BETTER than SEU, even
with it occasion "quirks"... <smirk>
