Bug Report

[Muhammet Abay]

We open any existed mark lookup and change the lookup type to "single adj..." or "pair adj..." or "caret pos..." VOLT ask us "This will erase all lookup data...". When we chose the "Yes", then click to glyph preview panel VOLT crashes without any notification.

I do not remeber problem like this reported.

It is hard to say what's going on without more information. Does it happen with particular font, or all fonts? Does this happen on particular or all your computers?

Thanks,
Sergey

I use VOLT only on one computer (WinXP Pro SP3, Turkish). But I reported this problem in different fonts. I attached an axample font that I reported this problem.

There is another problem for opening two file with same name, from the different paths. If a file is open, yo can't open a second file with the same name, VOLT says for the second file: "the file is corrupted"

Sergey, I confirm this bug with latest VOLT. When one switches lookup type in the GPOS window for an existing anchor attachment lookup, the existing data is deleted, but the GPOS glyph pane is not refreshed, i.e. the same glyphs stay in the pane even though the references to them is deleted. If one then clicks anywhere in the glyph pane, then VOLT crashes.

Now, there's no good reason I can think of to change lookup types in an existing lookup. It would be better if, once data has been entered in a lookup, it were to be impossible to change lookup types. Changing lookup types should only be possible when the lookup is empty.
