well i was checking in random
http://feedback.xojo.com/showreport?report_id=55405
then
http://feedback.xojo.com/showreport?report_id=55397

which are not bugs
then you deleted them from the list,
so you’re currently checking them one by one ? :wink:

No. But if he get’s that he made a mistake he corrects it immediately. Like it should be.

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

That list IS only reports I have either submitted or signed on to
I’m far from alone with such large lists

That’s a lot of issues.

This is where NOT having a publicly open list that anyone can see is a hindrance

43575 Window Min Width/Height being ignored in specific case
43704 ListBox Shift+End, Shift+Home incorrect behaviour
43705 ListBox Shift+Down Arrow, Shift+Up Arrow incorrect behaviour
46280 Tab order in IDE leads to ambiguous state
46521 ListBox focus ring with no selection stays when control does not have focus on Windows
46671 ctrl shift end issues
46694 ListBox vertical scrollbar not positioning correctly on resize
47810 Listbox.HeaderHeight returns incorrect value
47811 Listbox with no border causes focus issues
48020 The ComboBox height is incorrect
48898 Feedback Creator Name no sorting correctly
48908 listbox.change event fires repeatedly when required selection is true
49189 Slow debugging lengthy data sets in variable viewer of IDE
49390 IDE caret in code editor doesnt resize when window is moved between different dpi scaling
50232 System.DebugLog doesnt work in App during quit
50261 Copy paste problem after deleting class
50308 WM_ENTERIDLE continually sent by SaveAsDialog
50385 Xojo.Core.Date not showing AM/PM designator
50509 Caret lost when focus is moved from IDE or program and returned
50974 Compiler failed assertion at Structures.cpp:1658
51092 Autocomplete adds As in odd places
51123 Switching between Structures doesn’t refresh structure size after using toggling Show 64 bit sizes
51124 Structure alignment issues in Windows
51195 Caret artifacting in IDE
51209 Moving IDE code editor to start of line doesn’t show if start of line is behind line numbers
51223 IDE Script window doesn’t livescroll
51225 Code moves when making first alteration to an IDE Script in the IDE Script editor
51227 Closing last project also closes IDE Script and the Cancel does nothing to stop it closing
51229 Shift+Enter on a SELECT inside upper portion of IF that has an ELSE adds an END IF not an END SELECT
51331 Caret stays visible when it should be out of view
51360 Caret moves to a different column if moved to a line that has only one character
51418 Unable to scroll to end of debug variable hex view in the IDE

Someone should make a Xojo equivalent of Open Radar

yes but that’s mostly IDE bugs,
the end user doesn’t care about the IDE

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.

The saddest bugs are the obsolete ones:

1.5 years later the bug still is open.

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

thats-bait-mad-max

No fishing for me today, another thread getting derailed.

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
