Re: st: Stata 12.1 linux bug report

[David Muller <davidmull@gmail.com>]

I can confirm this behaviour of Stata 12.1 on Ubuntu 13.04. After
opening and closing the data browser/editor, the only item available
under the Data menu is 'Activate'.

This doesn't occur in crunch bang linux 11 (based on Debian "Wheezy").

Cheers,
David

> William thank you for your response. The case do not change whether I open browser or editor. This must be a graphical miss-usage issue of Ubuntu unity environment. Probably some kind of incompatibility between Stata and Unity. I reported this bug to Stata user support center as well and I am sure they will try to fix this issue.

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.
