Awhile back I started getting issues in my support box from users of the Tungsten W and one of my apps; the application would just crash (wedge, or sometimes emit a Fatal) when they'd pull down a specific pulldown menu. You could use other pulldown menus in the app, but hitting the one menu would crash the device.
The app has been in use for years and works on every Palm OS device out there.... until he T|W came out. (It works fine on OS2, 3, 4, 5 :) The issue is with really wide menus. (Aside form the fact its naughty to have menus too wide; so be it. But the fact is that wide menus work on all PAlm OS devices except the T|W :) As a test application, you can make a tall menu; if you fill the screen lengthwise, its okay.. the text will not be cut mid-word.. the bottom of the text will rest just above the bottom edge of the screen, and the menu border will be clipped. On every unit except the T|W, the left and right borders will be clipped, if you have to have a really wide menu. One of our menus was 3/4 the width of the screen. At some point, a shortcut was added to a wide item, which made the menu the full width of the screen. No problem.. it was fine on every unit (and we tested them all, and have a rigourous alpha and beta test). Just reducing the text of the menu fixed it. But the T|W would wedge on this wide menu; doing anything to reduce the width solves the problem. We were caught off guard when an app published years ago suddenly started acting up on an OS4.1 machine :) Seems like the OS has a bug for the T|W that no other device has. jeff -- "Have you played Atari today?" -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
