		 PHASE II PROPOSAL PREPARATION SYSTEM


KNOWN PROBLEMS IN V.2.6beta1
****************************************

[2043] Main P2PP box sometimes not correctly displayed. Specifically on certain
       operating systems and window manager combinations.
       
       Clicking on the File menu after the tool starts may cause the
       Observing Run Panel divider to "jump" to the left. This causes
       the panel to be hard to read.
       
       Workaround: resize the window, and move the divider solves the
       problem.
       
[2036] When running Java 1.4 applications on Solaris, and displaying on Linux,
       certain window managers (Gnome and KDE are known) result in the delete 
       (DEL) and backspace keys not working.

       This is a known bug and will be investigated when information
       is available as to under what circumstances the problem occurs.

       Workaround: ctrl-h works as a work around.

[2489] When running Java 1.4 applications on Solaris, and displaying
       on Linux, one may get a list of warnings like:
           Warning: Cannot convert string "<Key>Escape,_Key_Cancel" 
	   to type VirtualBinding 
       This can occur for any X application and on any platform.  For
       example, users have reported seeing this when running emacs,
       nEdit and many other programs and java applications too - on
       Unix, Linux and BSD.

       Possible workarounds are:

       1. Ignore the warnings; they are annoying but there appear to
          be no negative consequences.

       2. One can also prevent the warnings (at least some of them) by
          typing:
              xprop -root -remove _MOTIF_DEFAULT_BINDINGS
	  before starting the application.
	   
[1985] Combo Boxes which display the drop-down list outside of the
       window frame will be displayed behind the main window frame when moving
       the drop-down list scroll bar. This occurs on some CDE (dtwm) sessions.

       Work around: run the command dtstyle (/usr/dt/bin/dtstyle) ,
       select "Window", and ensure the option: "Allow Primary Windows
       On Top" is NOT checked.

       Explanation:

       This is a reported Java1.4 bug (#4781582), which is "in
       progress".

       When a combo box displays out side of the main window frame, it
       is represented with a "heavy weight" component (i.e. a window,
       managed by the window manager).

       This heavy weight window, in combination with the window
       manager style setting allowing a parent to be displayed in
       front of the child, means the combo box list dropdown will fall
       behind the main window.


[xxxx] It is easy to create inconsistencies in param files/target,
       for example, when attaching a second p_targ, downloading target 
       from "View phase1 target" menu, or modifying the file by hand.
 
       There isn't a way to automatically detect the of
       inconsistencies in param files/targets.

       Reading existing cache doesn't automatically re-parse the param
       files.

       Due to changes in the TSF and or the ISF definitions it is
       possible to get invalid OBs (red dot) for previously check-in
       OBs.

[1051] If the "Filename:" entry widget in the SwingFileChooser is
       empty when the user clicks on OK, no file save is performed,
       and the user is not warned.

[1062] The size of the OB View window should not be too small,
       otherwise templates may not be correctly displayed (they may be
       hidden if the window is really small). User comments layout may
       also be truncated in height in some circumstances.

* WARNING: modifications of template parameters are not saved to the
  local cache until the insertion cursor leaves the cell -- make sure
  you click away from an edited cell, or use the TAB, RETURN or arrow
  keys to move out of edited cells.

* Macintosh native look-and-feel is not supported.

* X Windows: some users have their window manager set to ask them
  where each new window should be put. However, Java then moves the
  window to where the program thinks it should be.
