Known Bugs in Endeavour Version 1.4
The latest version of Endeavour is version 1.4,
released on July 13, 2006. A software patch is available
for users who are still using prior versions 1.0x, 1.1x, 1.2x,
1.3, 1.3a, or 1.3b (see Update page).
Bugs that are still present in current version 1.4
-
When you export a structure into CIF format and at least one atom symbol
is blank (cf. command "Structure/Atomic parameters..."), the CIF causes trouble
when reading into Endeavour again.
Workaround: If you enter or change atoms into/from parameter
list, assure you define an atom label.
Bugs that have been resolved in version 1.4
-
Endeavour crashed when a molecule was marked as selected in
the list of the "Define molecules" page (page 2 of 7) of the "Preparation of
structure solution" wizard, and that molecule was deleted in the dialog
"Molecules" that is opened via the "Place molecules..." button (formerly named
"Advanced settings...").
-
Nonsense text when switching the fixing flag for a selected
molecule in the "Molecule" dialog that is opened via the "Place molecules..."
button (formerly named "Advanced settings...") from page 2 of the "Preparation
of structure solution" wizard.
-
Formerly defined rigid-body molecules were not available in
the drop-down list "Molecules" of page 2 of the "Preparation of structure
solution" wizard. (They were not read although listed in the ENDEAVOUR.INI
file.)
-
After adding a molecule on page 2 of the "Preparation of
structure solution" wizard neither Tab nor Enter or Escape key worked. (To
continue with the next page of the wizard, you had to use the mouse.)
Bugs that have been resolved in version 1.3b
-
In some cases, if atoms were placed, the "Define atoms in unit cell" page (Page
3 of 7 of "Preparation of structure solution" wizard) showed negative counts in
the list.
-
In some cases, if all atoms were placed but contained at least some unfixed
parameters, the option "Local refinement" was yet possible.
Bugs that have been resolved in version 1.3a
-
If a second or third etc. molecule was referenced in an Endeavour Script input
file, the atoms of the second molecule were appended to the atoms of the first
read molecule. In some cases Endeavour crashed due to subsequent reading
errors.
-
In some cases, the symbols of the atoms in the parameter list were not
updated after "Preparation of structure solution" wizard.
-
When ending the "Preparation of structure solution" wizard with "Create input
files only but do not run kernel", the Endeavour document was not marked as
modified and the views (structure picture, data sheet, etc.) were not
updated.
Bugs that have been resolved in version 1.3
-
Severe bug:
Four typing errors in the parameter table for the atomic form factor
calculation have been corrected. Affected elements: H, Sc3+, Ru4+, Bi5+.
-
Structure picture display on computers with aspect ratio different from 4 : 3:
-
On computers with an aspect ratio different from 4 : 3, e.g. a wide-screen
notebook display, objects are mostly distorted, that means you see ellipses
rather than circles for atoms etc. This happens in flat mode and rendering
mode, except rendering mode with central projection.
-
In rendering mode and central projection, the selection of objects may fail,
since the object rectangles may not match the objects' representation on the
screen.
