Known Bugs

Here you find a list of known bugs. For a more detailed list please take a look at the TODO file in the LabPlot package.

1. pstoedit sometimes doesn't work correct.
2. LabPlot crashes on SuSE 9.0 on startup.
3. ImageMagick can't be used on FreeBSD 4-stable.
4. When using the KPart object of LabPlot the window can't be resized.
1.

pstoedit sometimes doesn't work correct.

pstoedit has sometimes problems when converting postscript files created by Qt™. Especially with truetype fonts Qt™ seems to create corrupted postscript files. These postscript files may look good when using ghostscript but fail when converting them with pstoedit.

I haven't found a solution for this problem and finally changed the standard fonts of LabPlot to use fonts that produces no problems with pstoedit. I hope this get fixed in a future release of Qt™.

2.

LabPlot crashes on SuSE 9.0 on startup.

The original Qt™ package of SuSE 9.0 has a bug when rotating text. So all applications using this library to rotate text are crashing. SuSE provides an updated Qt™ package for SuSE 9.0 on their website. So please update the Qt™ package.

Unfortunately the text rotation of Qt™ on SuSE 9.0 still has a bug so that the single letters of a string are not rotated. To fix this you should update to SuSE 9.1 on which Qt™ text rotation works perfectly.

3.

ImageMagick can't be used on FreeBSD 4-stable.

When compiling LabPlot on FreeBSD 4-stable and you have ImageMagick there seems to be a problem that only appears on FreeBSD 4 :

/usr/include/sys/cdefs.h:273: warning: `_POSIX_C_SOURCE' is not defined

I have no idea what the problem is. If someone can fix this please send me a note. By now the only thing to do is to deactivate ImageMagick (--disable-ImageMagick) when compiling.

4.

When using the KPart object of LabPlot the window can't be resized.

When resizing the window to the desired size please reload the page with the KPart. That should fix this bug.
