Known Bugs and Limitations in JaxoDraw - 2.0 ---------------------------------------------- For a latest list, see http://jaxodraw.sourceforge.net/issue-tracking.html * When using IBM's Runtime Environment, the program may be executed and works fine for most parts but presents some peculiarities: the layout of pop up windows is not always the same and XML output serializes the bounding boxes of objects that are explicitly marked as transient in the source code. This has been reported to us for version number 1.4.1 of IBM's SDK. For us, this appears to be an incompatibility between SUN's and IBM's Runtime Environments. On the other hand, the program compiles fine with IBM's jikes compiler (tested with version 1.19 and 1.22). * Some swing internal components do not allow full internationalization (see: http://www.progdoc.de/papers/intSwing/intswing/intswing.html). This is Java bug #4195173. For JaxoDraw, this effects only some text fields in the FileChooser, ColorChooser and Print dialogs, where the text will always be given in english. * If a LaTeX text object is present at the edge of a graph then the bounding box of a "LaTeX -> EPS" export is most probably not correct. This manifests itself by a "broken" text, ie, a thin white line is crossing the text. Basically, there is no way for us to estimate the extension of a text after latex compilation, so the only workaround is to adjust the bounding box by hand. * When drawing a line or loop and releasing the mouse outside the drawing area, the object will still be drawn correctly. However, the same does not work for arcs and beziers: clicking once outside the drawing area will make the object disappear. This is a fundamental Java limitation and cannot be fixed in general. * On windows, plugins cannot be un-installed from the Plugin Manager. They get removed from the current session but remain in the plugin cache, so next time JaxoDraw is started they get loaded again. The plugin jar has to be removed manually from the plugin installation folder to uninstall the plugin permanently.
