[mgp-users 01275] bugs in 1.10 not in 1.09...

[tbrown@nrri.umn.edu]

Couldn't find anywhere else to point these out, hope this isn't an
inappropriate place.

I think MagicPoint's neat, but I found a couple of things that
stopped working for me between 1.09 and 1.10

I'm using %pause and %again to get bullet points to appear one by
one and change colour, like this:

GLEI in house data system

%fore "yellow", mark
	Project covers coastal regions of the US side of the...
%pause, fore "white", font "standard", again
	Project covers coastal regions of the US side of the...
%fore "yellow", mark
	Distinct subprojects include fish, chemical contaminants,
%pause, fore "white", font "standard", again
	Distinct subprojects include fish, chemical contaminants,
%fore "yellow"
	Subprojects divided into regional teams doing separate data


(I've truncated the lines for clarity)

Note that I used a sed script to make the file look like this, it
would be tedious to do it by hand.

Anyway, here's what broke between 1.09 and 1.10

- With xft enabled, only the bullet markers are yellow, all the text
  is white all the time.  With xft disabled (-x xft) text is yellow
  when it first appears, as it should be.

- With OR WITHOUT xft enabled, 'mark' and 'again' don't go back to
  exactly the same spot, so the text gets smudged.

Neither of these things were a problem with 1.09.
