DOS ain't dead

B.S. movie available of FD EDIT 0.9 bug (Users)

posted by DOS386, 18.09.2008, 00:54

Bugshot movie ( .OGV , 9 MiB)

What one can see is the ghosted mouse cursor, then it becomes visible when I click the bar on the top, remains good as long as I move there around, then reghosts just after clicking "Display" ... and then I try to click "Mono" ... and finally get it, cursor is ghosted all the time, instead of a stable red rectangle there is an almost invisible (you can see it in the movie if you look well) thin flickering line

Note: of course I did use Khusraw's encoder (progress indicator is bad, output good)

Warning: the movie is bloated and lousy ... an example how a movie should NOT look like ... reasons are in camera rather in the Theora codec, but should be sufficient for the given purpose here.

The bug securely occurs in both 25 and 50 lines mode, with and without JEMM, and in EDR-DOS and FreeDOS. FreeDOS EDIT 0.7d doesn't have this bug, nor INFOPAD, nor any other text mode mouse controlled application.
