I've also seen the Terminal window opening with only a few pixels height and huge width. Smells like an initialization race condition.

comment:2 by anevilyak, 17 years ago

You mean the terminal that's brought up on startup, or any random Terminal? I haven't observed that as of yet. And init race was my thought exactly, as the restart dialog appears to be created on boot and then just Show/Hidden from there instead of being recreated.

I've noticed the Media preflet become exceptionally wide (something that felt like 10000 pixels). Don't know if this is related, but as Ingo mentioned the Terminal...

Replying to bonefish:

Yeah. I saw this too several times, last time it was 2 days ago. It was when i started several times Terminal from LaunchBox.

FWIW I'll attach a picture containing a broken Terminal and a broken restart dialog I've encountered at some random time. Maybe it's related to this and someone might get a clue based on a picture?

I think this is the same problem reported in #502. Could be that the Portlink gets full and doesn't send/receive some data in some cases ? See also hrev23554. BTW could we call debugger() if portlink is full and start dropping some data ?

comment:7 by axeld, 17 years ago

From the looks of it, I would think the problems are based on the font sizes the application retrieves - at least it looks like all interface elements are there which would be very unlikely if there was something wrong with the PortLink.

comment:8 by anevilyak, 17 years ago

For what it's worth, the behavior seen in mmlr's screenshots seems to be a somewhat different case from what I ran into that caused me to initially open this bug...I was never able to drag that window far enough to even find the buttons.

Should be fixed in hrev26192.
