In running the nightly build of Josm from 06.07.06, and when I select multiple dots and lines, It frequently just vanishes. The entire screen goes in a flash leaving me at the desktop. Its not happening at exactly the same spot every time.
Is this a known of problem, that is nolonger there in the later builds? I’m just posting this, cause i cant report bug, cause the option never comes up.
I said all that i know about it… there is no such thing as ‘help>about’ on my version… theres only files-connection-layer and edit. I downloaded the nightly on 06.07.06 (6th July <This year!>)
File was create on 06/07/06 at 20:28:45 and it says opens with: Java™ 2 platform S if thats of anyhelp.
Do you use Windows? Please click on Start, then on Execute, then enter “cmd”.
in the black box that pop up, enter “java -version” and press enter.
if that get you a “Command or file not found” or similar, Type “cd ProgrammsJava” and then “dir” and look for the directory names.
If you use linux, open a shell and enter “java -version” (without the quotes).
The Help menu of JOSM is on the very right corner of the menu bar. I am sure it’s there somewhere, but maybe a bit unimposing
I should include the java version information in the JOSM about dialog…
Well, I strongly believe, it is your java version. Maybe you installed Java6 Beta. There were problems reported with this before (mostrly GUI flickering).
Or you have an corrupt install. You should try to reinstall Java from http://java.sun.com. Choose the latest Java 1.5 jre (usually the most penetrating and biggest DOWNLOAD ME - button there
Anyway, JOSM should not be able to crash your java machine. I really can’t fix this bug from within the programm…
