Re: st: Stata 12.1 linux bug report

[William Buchanan <william@williambuchanan.net>]

I don't think many people here will have tons of experience working with the dialogue boxes, but I would suspect that the issue is that you are viewing your data with -edit- rather than -browse-.  If you could send a copy of the commands that are processed it would make it much easier for others to help figure out exactly where the issue is and how to solve it.  Many of the users of Stata work from the commands themselves, so the output from the command pane will typically get you a much faster response.

I may click on the menu “Data” and execute any command, such that I may generate a variable by executing the command “generate n = 1” via menu item “Create new variable”. All works properly till I call the “data editor” (ctrl-8) window. After this point, (opening and closing the data editor window) the pull-down menu item “Data” do not work properly. When I click on “Data” now, I get a single and not working item “activate”. All other items under “Data” disappear.
