Wish I could help but I don't know what causes this and
have not been able to reproduce this defect reliably. I have
a feeling is that it has something to do with having too many
bindings windows up at the same time - I have to stress that
this is only a _feeling_ .
I just want to log that I have experienced this as well on
vt-1.10 and I will report something as soon as the failure
criteria becomes a recognizable pattern.
Luckily the lost bindings were only 10 or 15 lines in
length, so rethinking and retyping was not a big problem.
Large products would cause me some real grief though.
Recommendation:
Backups should always be a done frequently during
development. vtcl is still very much beta so
backups should be done even more frequently than
frequently. :)
(I learned this early on in my career.)
Anyone else run into this "bindings gone missing" defect?
Regards,
Tony Grimm
