#308 Error when trying to change tic spacing on MacOSX
Hi,
The latest Mac build (1.18) seems to have resolved some outstanding problems. Thank you!
But, I seem to have found a new bug. When I try to change the tic spacing, General plot options > scale,
I get an error box that says: Undefinded token "200" found at position 0. 2006 is the lower x-vale in the plot, but 2007 is the smallest data value.
I have other files for which this function works fine. It's possible the problem only arises with files created with the newer version, but I' not sure. I am attaching a minimal file that shows this behavior.
Going through the last few Mac releases with the same file, I see:
D8: open files and the file and changes tic spacing without complaint.
D9: shows the same bug as 1.18
D13: crashes when trying to open this file and others
1.14 and 1.17: show the same bug as 1.18
Thanks,
David
Maybe this is a MacOSX specific bug? I was unable to reproduce on the Linux 1.19 build.
It may well be Mac specific. Is there anything that I can do to help track it down?
Thanks,
David

SciDAVis Bugs:
#308I have verified that the problem exists only on MacOSX. The problem does not manifest on either Linux or Windows.
It might have something to do with parsing a string that uses newlines rather than carriage returns to separate components...
David - the bad news is that my development Hackintosh is packed away, and I will not have it with me whilst I'm travelling for the next 3 weeks. So a solution will need to wait until after that, unless another Mac developer miraculously materialises.
There's no rush, but I've played around a bit and have narrowed down the conditions where this error occurs (so far).
It seems to happen when the maximum of the x-axis is 1000 or greater. In this case the error occurs when trying to reset the tics on either the x- or y-axis. Making the maximum on the x-axis less than 1000 fixes the problem on both axes. Also, a negative value for the minimum on the y-axis seems to cause the same error, but a negative minimum on the x-axis doesn't.
Also, the same error occurs when trying to reset the limits on the axes under some circumstances.
Thanks,
David
i am facing the same issue while changing axes tick values. is there any way ican resolve it on my mac?
as I mentioned, I expect to look at this issue mid August, when I get
access to my Mac. In the meantime, you could try running the Windows
version under wine, or either the Windows or Linux version on a VirtualBox
virtual machine.

As per #268, this is now solved.
Thanks! Is there a Mac binary available with this fix incoporated?
