Feb. 24th, 2006 02:51 pmFor two days I've been working with QA on getting a patch release out.
Everything looked fine in their testing except that a certain button
wouldn't enable on a screen. I knew that one of the fixes in the patch
addressed that particular problem, so I thought maybe that fix hadn't
made it into the patch. I checked and rechecked everything. Terry
checked and rechecked everything. We rebuilt the fix several times over.
Button still disabled.
Finally, this morning, I checked out a clean copy of all the software
that matched up with the patch so that I could run in debug mode. And
what do I find? There's a control code value that specifically disables
that button, and it's set. The display of this control code doesn't show
the value, only the description of the value, and I didn't recognize it
when we looked at it yesterday.
