Multivalent Bugs and Support
We are accepting bugs and support requests
specifically related to PDF and Tools and DVI only,
not for the Browser or other document formats.
Before reporting a bug:
- Check for known bugs below, known Java bugs above,
the FAQ, and on the
sourceforge bug tracker
and forums.
- Check that you are using the latest version
- Double check the downloads page for relevant explanations
Report bugs to bug tracker on sourceforge
(NOT via email).
The forum is used so that lots of people have a chance to answer your
question faster, and so that the same question does not get answered
repeatedly.
Include the following information in bug reports.
Often only one or two pieces of information will quickly point directly to the bug,
but it's hard in advance to know which piece.
- A document that exhibits the problem!.
This is essential in order to be able to reproduce the problem,
and once fixed the document is added to the regression testing suite.
The document can be made available via URL, emailed as an attachment, or uploaded to sourceforge with a button on the bug report form.
If the document is sensitive, generate another the same way that isn't.
If the issue is with a tool that processes one document and products another, it's the original document that's wanted.
- What are you trying to do?
Sometimes it's easy to get lost in the details when the problem is better addressed at a higher level.
- Does this happen in all cases / with all documents,
or just in particular cases?
- (A stack trace is not helpful.)
- Describe your system:
- Multivalent version
- Java VM version
- Operating System
- New user or updating from another version (which version?) of Multivalent
- Describe the bug (what was expected, what actually happened)
- Describe how to reproduce the bug.
If you were running a tool from the command line, copy and paste this line.
General questions and discussion can be found on the
Multivalent forums on sourceforge.
