Has anyone else noticed that Uvision V2.39 has a bug when using workbook mode at high screen resolutions (greater than 1024x768)? The workbook tabs at the bottom of the windows will become erratic, disappear, not refresh properly, etc. Keil has said this is not a bug....but it obviously is. V2.36 does not have this problem at high screen resolutions, so they did something from V2.36 - V2.39 to cause this.
I've had similar problems with Keil's IDE, i.e. various lame behavior from the GUI, and I'm running Win2K. One example: the memory window, which I've set to reside in the main frame of the overall IDE window, keeps resizing itself throughout the course of a day, slowly growing at the lower right corner. And, I also experienced them trying to foist responsibility onto the video card, drivers, OS, other running programs, phase of the moon, etc. The simple fact is that a) the tool has numerous bugs that they're apparently ill equipped to root out, and b) they have a very poor quality / customer service ethic, and don't want to own up to the situation.
"The simple fact is that a) the tool has numerous bugs that they're apparently ill equipped to root out, and b) they have a very poor quality / customer service ethic, and don't want to own up to the situation." This seems a bit harsh to me. I have found Keil to be very quick to fix compiler/linker bugs but I do find it irritating that they don't keep a list of known bugs in the current version on the website. I suspect that quite a lot of their customers waste quite a lot of time tracking down known but undocumented bugs. Stefan
