AmigaOS freezes when window resized to minimum ?
Just can't stay away
Just can't stay away


See User information
Hello,
Sometimes, not every time, when I resize a MUI window to the minimum size (very small window where even the close gadget is no more visible) my system freezes.

I remember to have had this problem even with rxMUI.

For now, to avoid this problem I force the closure of the window when size is < 100 pixels.

Is it a way to set a minimum size to a MUI window (without adding a fixwidth object) ?

And is it a problem on my system or a know "bug" ?

Thank by advance,
Guillaume

I'm sure that Thore will answer your question.

In the meantime, though, are you dealing with someone else's application using MUI, or a program that you have written yourself, using MUI? The answer really is that the application has to be written so as to prevent the crash.

cheers

Hi,
For rxMUI, I used the some rxMUI samples in the rxMUI package.
For MUI, it's my own programs.

But it's true that I don't find another program where the window can be resized at the most minimum size.

For info, freeze is reproductible with MUI-Mplayer.

Open an video and resize the video window to minimum => freeze.

Is somebody have the same problem ?

Can you provide a small demo program which can be used to reproduce this issue?

Not a very convenient reaction as there is no way to open the window again. In fact it looks as if the program has terminated itself, although it just closed its window.

No. This contradicts the basic MUI principles.

Actually this happens with BOOPSI/Reaction windows as well. Unfortunately I haven't reported this to anybody.

As MUI-MPlayer is not Open Source Roman 'kas1e' Kargin is the only who can answer this question. Maybe the window is not under control of MUI but created in the usual way using intuition/OpenWindow(). Furthermore the freeze might be caused by the video display due to a possibly invalid dimension, i.e. zero pixels width/height.

I'd say this takes MUI out of the equation completely.

Yes, of course,

1) Freeze is reproductible with MUI-Mplayer.
Open an video and resize the video window to minimum => freeze.

or with

2) FastView on OS4Depot, in this version I don't close the window when < 100 pixels.
Start FastView (no need to install it, just go in Data/FastView/)
Drag pictures file inside the window and click on picture thumbnail.
Resize the new picture window to minimum

edit : Sorry I didn't show the TSK and your last reply, Thore.

Is it useful to open a thread on Hyperion for open a bug report ?

I just checked and there's an official report for this already.

Thank you TSK, Thore and Tonyw for your replies.

I have renamed the title to remove MUI.

Nevertheless, a small example demonstrating this problem would still be handy.

I notice that this type of problem is often reproducible on a system but not on the others .. for example some years ago (at the time of the 4.1 Update 1 on Sam440) even using exactly the same software and the same version of the OS i had this type of freeze on my Sam440 but not on my AmigaOne ..

Might be an issue caused by the relative young port of AmigaOS4 on the AmigaOne X1000 .. might be, but not sure of course ..

Rigo :
If MUI-OWB or FastView reproduction described above is not sufficient, personaly, I could only make a sample with a resizable MUI window,
Is it OK ?

Samo79 :
I'm sure that even on my previous Pegasos2, I had these freezes when I played with the windows of some rxMUI examples.
Therefore, at least present on Pegasos and x1000 (or maybe, it's me the problem... ;) )

Samir, does it work for you when you play a video with Mplayer and that you resize the video window to very very minimum size ?

Mmm, tried now and you are right.
Minimize the windows caused a freeze on my Sam440 aswell (atleast with MPlayer MUI)

But not immediately, i forced the situation a couple of time ..

Just open a window without a layout attached.

I just retried to open a window (MUI) and to resize at minimum size.

http://zzd10h.amiga-ng.org/Divers/MiniWindow_OK.jpg

It's not really well looking but it doesn't more freeze my system.

Tried with 2 of my programs (MUI, FastView and FlipPaper)

It's nice but, by curiosity, do you know why it works now ?


MUI4 ?

An AOS update since June 2013 ?

Because now, FastView is MUI4 and SDK53.24 compiled ?


Thank you
