Known Problems

1.18 - 23 Sep 1996

If you have any hard information about any of these problems please let me know
ASAP so that I can clear them....

-  Clear does not work - this is a tk problem and a work around is impractical.

-  Help system. Not much of it is there yet!

-  The history mechanism doesn't handle some recalls properly, namely
   lines containing ircII formatting characters and lines generated
   using morse/rot13/reverse.

-  People DEC Alphas running OSF/1 seem to experience some trouble with
   the X resource settings - buttons dont look 3D and checkbuttons don't
   show up as checked. I dont' have an Alpha so I cant check it out - sounds
   like a tk problem.

-  Problems with option settings for individual tags. I am going to
   eliminate the use of X resources as it seems to be more trouble
   than it is worth and it is not portable.

-  If you have both a system preferences file and a personal preferences
   file there is a possibility of confusion when using the configuration
   system.

-  In certain circumstances, handling nick changes can get into a very
   difficult situation. These *ought* not to appear for the majority of
   people, but could if you have an unfortunate conjunction of friends'
   nicks, active DCC connections and a nick change..... I am working on
   a total solution to this, but it may turn out to be impossible without
   changing some other behaviour which I dont want to do if at all possible.

-  The multi-net stuff is not all shaken down yet, so it there might
   still be problems.

-  The graphic buttons still have problems.
