IBM Power Ideas Portal


This portal is to open public enhancement requests against IBM Power Systems products, including IBM i. To view all of your ideas submitted to IBM, create and manage groups of Ideas, or create an idea explicitly set to be either visible by all (public) or visible only to you and IBM (private), use the IBM Unified Ideas Portal (https://ideas.ibm.com).

IBM Rational Developer for i Version 9.1.1 - Outline View Issues Remain

I received this from one of our developers....

I'm still running into some Outline View issues when in edit mode in the updated RDi. What I'm seeing happen is that when you have the Outline view set at a certain point, like a certain field name, or a sub-routine name, if you then move your cursor over into to the editor and make any changes, the Outline view, while not collapsing completely like before, will take its display to the top of the Outline view, instead of staying where it was at.

For example, I had MD0350 in edit mode, and had my Outline view set on field Workphindt to track the places where it was used. I then went over to the editor and added a new line to my code and the Outline view switched up to the top of its view, instead of staying on the display of where field ?Worhphindt' was referenced in the coding. I also ran into the same problem when I had a display of where some sub-routines were referenced in the Outline view, and the new RDi update took the Outline view up to the top of its view right after making some edit code changes instead of staying on the sub-routines display I had showing.

    Thank you for taking the time to explain your issue with our product. This issue would be more easily resolved by opening a Problem Management Record (PMR), For more information on opening a PMR, please see:
