This is intended to be a cumulative list of known open bugs so anyone can easily find reports that might affect them
Searching in Xojo’s Feedback is difficult if you dont use the right key word or the same keyword
Add yours
Originally I opened feedback and set my list to show open reports
I copied that list
and posted it
Someone else pointed out the list included ones marked fixed
So I went & did it again using a slightly different order of what I did in feedback and it gave me a slightly different list (why I have no idea)
So I edited and reported the list to me correct

Bugs are bugs, please don’t derail this thread with excuses. We know you love Xojo and that’s great. Please don’t derail anything criticizing Xojo, this isn’t the official forum.
no the “end user” [the person using the APP created with Xojo] doesn’t care… they don’t care about Xojo bugs, be they IDE or otherwise… to them a bug is in the APP they are running, and THAT is the pervue of the developer.
Who DOES care about Xojo bugs… ALL bugs including the IDE is the developer, as it is he/she that has to expend extra time and effort to compensate for things that should NOT be issues
Mostly…43% (117) aren’t IDE bugs or to put it another way, 57% are bugs in the product people interact with every day and 43% are there to mess with your product.
Totally agree Beatrix, there’s a lot of stale cases which doesn’t help things. If you click the Status: Reviewed at the top you can ask for the case to be closed, I think this shows up more obviously for Robin (and others) to see.
i checked this one yestarday, because i was not sure i undestand it properly, but I did.
you even posted a video, you like posting bugs !
honestly, this is far it can gets to the definition of bugs, maybe not even a quircks. plus i’ve seen this behaviour elsewhere, maybe even in my apps (a rounding problem?) whatever
maybe you expect too much from a company like xojo inc.
xojo inc will NEVER have PERFECT native ide behavior because xojo inc is not Apple or Microsoft.
and on windows side what are the concurrent of xojo ? is delphi or else still alive ? except B4
a) Delphi has more customers than Xojo and makes a turnaround of more than 27 Million Dollar. That is much more than Xojo,inc has. So I guess that discussion is ended at that point
b) a programming language which has big errors in math is not usable at all. One thing a language and a compiler has to be able to do is math
c) B4J, Java, C++ are all still alive and quite bigger
No one expects perfect
They do expect that reported reproducible bugs, ones that should be the easiest to identify because the situation CAN be reproduced, ARE fixed
Thats not happening very quickly
Instead we get renamed desktop controls, renamed events and properties breaking years of code
