Digging for bugs Message #1 Posted by Stefan Dröge (Germany) on 6 Nov 2013, 2:08 p.m. I tried to cause some strange behaviour and were successful: When I am on a input line and then press the keys "x^y", "sin", "cos", "tan" one after another, chinese symbols appear on the input line. There are several combination which lead to similar errors. One more example is "x^2", "+/-", "( )", "," "( )", "+/-" "x^2". A similar phenomenon is when you type "x^2", "+/-", "( )", "," only two more key presses seem to be accepted and are shown on the input line. The symbols are not always the same (i.e. they are different depending on whether I am in the CAS or the numeric environment). The simulator does not show this behaviour. - Stefan

Re: Digging for bugs Message #2 Posted by Terje Vallestad on 6 Nov 2013, 2:48 p.m., in response to message #1 by Stefan Dröge (Germany) What settings have you got? I tried to input the sequences as you described in both textbook and algebraic and in Home N CAS and could not reproduce any Chinese symbols? Cheers Terje

Re: Digging for bugs Message #3 Posted by Stefan Dröge (Germany) on 13 Nov 2013, 4:39 p.m., in response to message #2 by Terje Vallestad Sorry for the late response. After resetting the device I could not reproduce the behavior either. However I am pretty sure that I have not changed the default settings before I saw the error. The only thing I remember is that I had activated the exam mode before I saw the bug (but I encountered the bug while I was NOT in exam mode). And I also remember copying large amounts of text. Too bad that I could not find a way to reproduce the error :-( Stefan
