RE: Lines of code are disappearing! ~Tate Quetgerobergakoi 31.Dec.03 04:27 PM a Web browser Domino Designer 6.0.1Windows XP
It just vanishes - you have no warning, no indication of anything amiss until you try to load the application from your client - sometimes you get obvious compile errors from dropped loop or conditional statements, in other cases I have noticed entire paragraphs or even an entire function totally missing.
Yesterday, I tried to delete a bunch of functions and subs that I had in the Globals of a form. When I tried that, it wouldn't drop the Exit Sub or Exit function statement and I had "ghosts" of all the subs and functions in the form and of course it wouldn't save.
Another thing I see, which may be specific to me, is when I use the bright red font in fields. If I have multiple red fields on a line, and then go between them and hit the return key to give a line break, all the fields subsequent to the break revert to black text. When you click on the field properties, however, it still shows as being allegedly red text.
I could go on and on, but the bottom line is that the behavior of Designer is aberrant and unpredictable. I have little confidence that what I code today will make it to tomorrow 100% as I coded it. Needless to say, this drags development time out and leaves me very frustrated.
What I believe is that there are some buggy elements in Designer which can induce corruption in design notes. Depending upon how you code your design elements, you may or may not run across them and therefore this is a fairly spotty thing and is hard to reproduce since the behavior is so intermittent and unpredictable.
Oh, just for information's sake, I'm running ND6.01 CF1 on a Win2k platform - pretty generic, I'd say.
