[gvd-devel] Problems

Ok, I forgot to send my problem list.  Here it is:

1. Highlight line doesn't always show.  Sometimes, when executing
GVD under Linux and SGI the highlight line (showing where you are
curently located in the program) does not show up.  Stepping into
a subfunction usually will make the highlight line show up.

2. Highlight line loses location.  Sometimes, when stepping
through a program GVD will lose where it is in the program and
suddenly the highlight line begins to either jump lines of code or
it doesn't move or it will not move for several lines of code and
then begin moving again.  This seems to happen most when several
loops are one within the other (ie: while-for-for-while-for).

3. I created a simple macro:
	define d1
	display varA (floating variable)
	display varB (long variable)
	display varC (long variable)
	display varD (Array variable with multiple types)
	display varE (same as varD)
	display varF (same as varD)
	end

When run, GVD seems to have a problem displaying everything.  This
is C++ and varD-E-F are an array class.  The problem shows up as
varA or varB not displaying.  Unknown why.  Typing the above in by
hand does not cause the problem to occur.  Only happens when the
macro is invoked.  I do not believe that gdb has a command "d1"
already defined so I've eliminiated the possibility of causing a
problem due to the macro and an internal command duplication.
