Little render window bug?
(If either the width or the height of an image you're rendering is
bigger than the screen's size, then the sliders of the render windows
show in both (height and width) sizes and you can't see the full image
at once, even if one of the image_sizes is smaller than the screen)

For what its worth... WinXP, P3, 512MB... still happening in beta 11
(Intel):
Highlight bug #10 (job000137)
(highlights are sometimes visible where they should be in shadow)
http://news.povray.org/3bb4cf08@news.povray.org
{this still seems normals-based to me, not finishes specular
or phong highlights. but then what do I know ;-)
applying interior_texture without normal or leaving normal
out of the main texture alleviates the problem}
crash inside two #while
(Possibly specific to Windows 2000)
(Thorsten says it's the same as job000179)
http://news.povray.org/3c3f1f29$1@news.povray.org
{yep still crashes, here anyway, and does appear to be the
'something to the power of something' in #while bug
of job000179 except that one doesn't crash anymore}
panoramic projection bug? (job000196)
(In progress)
http://news.povray.org/avnfut8fof5ualgf8hnrtpl1knlg8828sp@4ax.com
{yes, angle keyword working only if before panoramic keyword}
no_image, merge and shadows (job000198)
(setting no_image to an object in a merge causes that object to stop
casting shadows)
http://news.povray.org/vqfd0ucm5276q9j8sdh34afjliapc1kj0n@4ax.com
{still so, yes}
bug in sphere_sweep for removing parts of an object (job000200)
(discontinuous normals on inverse of sphere_sweep)
http://news.povray.org/3C1A5D47.EA38F6E5@amc.uva.nl
{appears to be normals all right, as evidenced by slicing of the box
in various places, but it's an odd sort of thing with shape. to clarify,
I could see bevelling along the cut even though the cut itself was
still a perfectly good sphere_sweep surface line}
crash with photons, union, ior, lathe (job000213)
(Intel compile only)
http://news.povray.org/vfra4u0ndv4rf951196881cpt842an4906@4ax.com
{sure does, didn't even leave error message behind}
bug : declared camera with normal statement crashes
http://news.povray.org/3C41A226.7030703@skynet.be
{indeed it does}
[Windows] Save As... with same filename doesn't work
http://news.povray.org/3c44497e$1@news.povray.org
{note that I, bob h, don't see this as a bug at all.
there isn't a crash or error really, just by design}
Re: hollow in light groups
http://news.povray.org/3c21172d$1@news.povray.org
{yes, the camera not in hollow object message still given}
Minor Windows annoyance
http://news.povray.org/3c2bec89@news.povray.org
{note that the 'tip of the day' didn't show when I restored POV-Ray.
that seems the only thing about this, otherwise fine}
Funky fog vs. media
http://news.povray.org/3c642f94$1@news.povray.org
{only a strange red background occurance happens when I check,
otherwise no fog+media problem seen here. the red is due to lack
of fog_alt and fog_offset apparently}
***************************************************
Fixed?:
Light_sources in light_groups don't cast shadows (job000197)
(rendering without light buffers (-UL) puts the shadows back)
http://news.povray.org/3bfd4d63@news.povray.org
{shadows there, whether -ul or +ul used}
Povray main window disappears during rendering
(Possibly the same as the above {not here})
http://news.povray.org/3c1350f4@news.povray.org
{this one only happened to me a couple times in beta 10, and I don't
think any of the supposed related minimized trouble happened.
seemed more a Windows tasking thing to me though}
Hopefully this will help at least a little to let everyone know what's being
experienced by others, such as me.
