blank sliders in synthsim

Post by Steve Taff »

Using 5.8. This happens on only one machine; another works fine. Same model on both.

Open model to page with an Input Output slider. Run Synthesim by clicking little button at top. Slider goes blank and can't be used. Refresh screen by zooming to different size, slider is visible and operational again. Close Synthesim and slider is fine. Run Synthesim again and slider is blank. Rezoom......

Any ideas on this one? Not a big issue, just an annoyance.

It sounds like a timing issue, but not one I have seen. If you want to email me the model I will take a look to see if I can reproduce it.

The new version seems to have fixed this problem. Thanks!

Actually, the new version fixed the problem on my laptop, but now I've got something similar (screen refresh issue) on my desktop--which didn't have any problem with the previous version. Ain't computers wonderful!?!

FWIW, my desktop card is Radeon X1300/X1550 Series, with the 9/298/2007 drivers from ATI.

Try 5.8b which is now up - see if that changes anything.
