About bugs (was This is what REALLY SUCKS about RunRev! - was Menubar Help)

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Dave,

I have some experience in XTalks since 20 years...
I have seen many people like you moaning about what they call *bugs*.
In my experience today, I may ensure you that, 99 times out of one  
hundred, I *know* that the reason is a bad code and , sometimes in a  
place I get pain to find it :-).
Before saying: that's a bug, please, try to reproduce it in a fresh  
new stack.
If you can't reproduce it, it means that your stack has a coding  
problem.
Then don't waste your time: search, track and solve :-)

Best Regards from Paris,

Eric Chatonet.

PS. In your case, as others told you, your stack is the problem, not  
Rev.
