Hello Miles,
Just general issues with rendering which are probably down to some kind
of eclipse upate issues. For xampel, when I first open a diagram its
all noise; as soon as I force a re-render by rezizing it looks fine.
And I am often getting into a state where the workbench is completely
messed up -- views are redrawn properly, etc.. but I think this is
because I've stolen the SWT /rendering thread somewhere in my model ->
view updating code. I'm still figuring out how to do the updates in a
nice fail-safe way.
Would you mind filing a bug for the garbled display (noise) problem in
our bugzilla, which you can find on this page:
http://www.eclipse.org/projects/project_summary.php?projectid=technology.gef3d
Please attach a screenshot and, very important, the following information:
Operating System (if Windows, which SPs are installed, if Linux, which
kernel version)
Video hardware (Manufacturer, model, version)
Video driver (Custom or from manufacturer, version)
Maybe I can reproduce the problem and fix it.
Regarding updates, I plan on looking into the update manager and update
mechanism in general myself as well. I think there are some problems
hidden in that code, too. If you find anything, please let us know.
Regards
Kristian
