Hi Barry !
This is unrelated to the keyboard tab issue but since I had a fault with
the control panel tonight I thought I would share some info with you.
I usualy have several files open at once. In one file I cut some text of
of the file, opened a new file and pasted it in. I accidentaly cut a little
too much out so I highlighted the text I needed to return to the previous
file with the shift/arrow keys. As I was doing this my overly sensitive
mouse button in my other hand brought up the control panel. With my finger
still on the shift key I clicked on the desktop to close the control panel
and I got the FFFFFFFF warning. Actualy I recieved three different warnings
as listed below.
The first was -
Access violation at address 1000ABDA in modual cmax101.dll
read of address FFFFFFFF
immediatly followed by -
Access violation at address 0077EEF1
read of address FFFFFFFF
Note: there was no mention of modual cmax101.dll in this warning
or the next -
Access violation at address 51FF01B2
read of address 51FF01B2
None of these cause pov to crash and it recovered without complaint.
I was able to repeat these access violations at will by repeating the
highlight text, right click for control panel and clicking on the desktop
sequence. I closed the program and then restarted it. With a little bit
of pushing I was able to make it happen yet again.
I have a pentium 200 mmx 128 megs of edo ram in one bank. My keyboard
is an older AT standard 106 key unit set for the english language on a
windows 98 US version platform. At the time of the access violations
I had only two other programs running in the background - one explorer the
other a small calculator program I keep handy floating above the Pov session.
Nothing else was active in the widows task monitor window at the time of the
problem.
If you haven't already done so please see my recent comments to Alan in
povray.bugreports concerning this issue.
