Manual Bug Reports

[Kathy Li]

The original thread got eaten by the last purge, so I'm going to take a chance and start it up again. The game here is to pretend that you're a beta/gamma tester for the Manual in its software form, and you've found a bug. Write up a bug report.

As an example:

==========
Name: Callahan, Dairine
Platform(s): wizOS phone port
Title: Manual initialization self-ref error
Version: 74.?b?3 build 74
Date found: 2454286.49534
Description:
When creating an initial "new user" profile, if the wizard answers "The Manual" as one of the recently books, memory heap overflows attempting to recursively add the contents of the Manual into the profile build.
Possible fixes: Creating an error check that uses the Lspacelib endlessBook() call to handle the special case of the manual.

More information:
When I took over Manual development, I was led to believe that these changes would happen automagically. What's going on up there?????

Platform: Grafire 3.2 (Wizards Tablet) Driver 3.0
Title: Largescale corrupt-feedback reac- (At this point in the readout exploded)
Version: β124.0 build 2
Date found: 2454412.6 (Approx.)
Description:
If you enter anything over 100000 chars in the speech, the pen starts shooting sparks, but the readout says nothings wrong. More characters doesn't seem to hurt it, but trying to draw anything after that makes the readout blank out. When you reboot it, the pen bursts into flames and you get about half an error message before the display burns out. After about a minute the pen melts completely. On a positive note, the pen actually draws in midair like it's supposed to when it's on fire, and the interface overall is much better than 2.4.

Tech. notes:
I think the display is getting caught between the pen and tablet when the signal gets to strong, suggest reorienting it. The pen just seems to hate me.

Platform: Microphone-OS 31.01
Title: A real-time bug has made its home in my manual
Version: β51.aΩ2 build 867-5309
Date found: 2454410.71
Severity: N/A
Priority: Minor, Class C
Description: A bug has manifested in my manual, naming itself Bookworm, though Little Man by manual's owner, and has been eating information as fast as manual can output it. It seems to be happy enough, the microphone and bug and the symptoms a some odd reflected singing, unusual inspiration for further music and being annoying

Journal Entry on Discovery:
Day One - This bug is kinda cute, but I wonder what's wrong with my manual, it seems to be instantiating unusal music every time I turn away from it.
Day Two - This bug keeps getting bigger, I wonder what it is doing. It doesn't seem to understand anything I say, or if so, has been ignoring me obstinately. I've named him LIttle Man.
Day Three - This bug is sooo annoying! It keeps getting in the way of me trying to use my manual.
Day Four - I wonder if anyone is lonely for Little Man, surely there's someone that'd want him... or want to eat him.
Day five - My show was ruined because of the bug! That's it, I'm reporting this Little bug.

Suggested Solution: Ship the bug off to Abu Dhabi once able to figure out how the bug manifested itself.
