Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2001-04-24 13:36:22 UTC

The crash has been fixed in cvs.  Now, I get...

** CRITICAL **: file cell-draw.c: line 191 (cell_draw): assertion
`width > 0' failed.

Comment 3 Jody Goldberg 2001-04-26 04:33:47 UTC

The warnings were spurious.  In this case the situation it was 
reasonable to end up with negative internal sizes.  We now silently 
ignore the draw in that case.

There is still no support for spinner objects (low priority)
and the column background is not imported correctly (medium priority)
This is the first test case to demonstrate a visible difference 
w.r.t. the background colour.  We'll use it to track the precedence 
of full row vs full col.

Comment 4 Jody Goldberg 2001-05-06 01:54:07 UTC

This has now been patched in CVS along with a place holder for 
spinners.
