19. Bugs

If you use the "kill" or "close" an Xspect Buffer, View or Window, this may have bad consequences for the future functionning of the program, especially when synchronization is set on that View. Therefore, if you want to get rid of a Window, it is safer to just iconify it. If you want to get rid of a "Frame" in a Window, push its limit to the limit of the Window (see the last section of 3. Read this first). If you want to get rid of a "Buffer" in a view, just replace it by another.
When a "Buffer" is killed or a "View" or a "Window" is closed (dont do any of that anyway!) the eventual "synchronisation" to/from this view-buffer are not always properly taken care of.

Cut and copy are not yet implemented.

The "Visit file" versus "Replace by visiting" feature is an easy source of problems. Read section 12. Visit file/Replace by visiting carefully.

The "play" of a float .sf file from SGI crashes on ALPHA!

When keys "Num Lock" or "Caps Lock" are ON mouse clicks do not work anymore. If mouse clicks seem to not work, look at "Num Lock" and "Caps Lock".

In "Raw format default" (menu "Context"), an odd DataOffset (1, 3, 5, ...) causes a crash at file loading because of misalignment.

It may happen that(??): On Alpha platforms ("Farinelli" at Ircam) , the first loaded file may not play! The second time, it plays! A distorsion may happen after several plays.

The "Default Breakpoint Function" (menu "Context") values do not seem to apply correctly at Breakpoint Function saving.

The "raw format" given in a file named on the command line after "-fileFormat" does not change the defauts in the "Raw format defaut" (menu "Context") even though it is correctly applied

There may be a problem with the "maximum frequency" (menu "Current analysis" or "Next analysis") for F0 analysis.

If you change the channel number in the buffer context, to a non existing channel, the non existing number appears in the buffer context even though the error is detected and the non existing number is ignored (previous channel is kept)

If the same "Buffer" containing a Breakpoint Function is displayed in more than one view, the max/min values displayed in the views are the max/min limits of the first view where the Breakpoint Function was loaded!
