Important Known Open Bugs in 4.0.3
Many known bugs are present in 4.0.3; this is the way of the world. A few of these bugs deserve special attention:
- With jdk 1.6 and tomcat 5.5.23, changes to build.xml deploy task necessary> The bug description indicates a small change that must be made to the main build.xml file in order to use these recent versions of tomcat and java.
- Fix debugger in Safari The dhtml debugger does not work in Safari 2 or Safari 3 or WebKit nightly as of r24285. The bug description includes a workaround if you are building OL from source and you need the safari debugger to work. If you do not do the special dance described in the bug, the dhtml debugger will not work in any known version of Safari.
- drawview gradients broken in Firefox This is due to lack of support in the DHTML canvas tag for opacity in gradients. Firefox is among the browsers that doesn't accept opacity information for gradient stops. Similar effects can be achieved with color.
- lztest-textstyle.lzx fails in legals The foreground and background colors of text are not handled the same in swf and in dhtml. There are minor display differences between SWF and DHTML, because SWF uses a separate background movieclip, whereas DHTML just uses bgcolor attribute of text. The workaround is to put an extra view in behind the text view. This workaround will not work for DHTML/Safari.
