Subject: [9fans] Scrolling considered harmful
Date: Tue, 23 Apr 2013 15:35:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20130423133534.GC19997@polynum.com> (raw)

Hello,

I had already reported that a machine froze hard when manipulating
windows under rio.

Indeed, nasty things arise when some program is spitting a huge amount
of text; window is blocking while there is more; I then, in the middle
of the process, switch to scrolling.

The nasty thing is writing in memory in the wrong place, since the
machine is hard frozen, and even soft reboot does no cure (I need to
halt and switch power off to have a really cold reboot).

Is somebody knowledgeable with this part of the code, to have clues
about where to search for the fault?

TIA
