Update on this problem: I found a workaround, but it ended up in the
category of _really_ weird bugs, that I refer to privately as "magic perl
moments". What happened was at the very end of order_details, all my
variables including orderitem description are fine, the
$form->{description}[..] array is loaded... but back in io.pl print_form,
_immediately_ after returning from order_details, the {description} array
has been trashed. To get around it I just made another array called
tempdescription, which doesn't get trashed, and used that in all the
templates.
Any perl gurus on this list have any possible explanation for this
phenomenon?

Subject: intermittent problem with orderitem descriptions when printing
To: [email protected]
Hi,
I'm sure this is a bug I introduced somehow, but it's really driving me
crazy and is presenting a serious problem for my client. When I'm on a
sales order or sometimes an invoice edit page, and try to print, either to
html or to postscript, I find that on some orders the orderitem descriptions
just don't print. The quantity, price, etc. is all there, only the
description goes blank, but if it happens for one item it will happen for
all items, and it's consistent every time I come back to that order. Other
orders that look _exactly_ the same print just fine. I've done a kompare on
the html of the edit screen for functional and nonfunctional orders, prior
to printing, and all relevant fields appear identical. In the order_details
function in OE.pm the descriptions exist, everything looks fine, but when it
gets to parse_template, boom, no descriptions. I know this isn't enough
data for anyone to seriously debug the problem, but I'm just wondering if
anyone has ever seen any similar behavior or can point me in any directions
that I might not have checked yet.
Thanks,
Chris Calef
