 Problems while connecting Server and GUI
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   Under Microsoft Windows no connection of ProMoT Server with ProMoT GUI 
   can be established.

 Workaround:
   For Microsoft Windows XP:
   In the batch file 'promot-server.bat' uncomment the following two
   lines and replace {username} by your login name:

   REM set HOMEDRIVE=C:
   REM set HOMEPATH=\Documents and Settings\{username}

   For Microsoft Windows Vista/7:
   In the batch file 'promot-server.bat' uncomment the following two
   lines and replace {username} by your login name:

   REM set HOMEDRIVE=C:
   REM set HOMEPATH=\Users\{username}

   Uncommenting is carried out by deleting the string 'REM'.

 Problems using the file chooser dialog 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
   When the file chooser is used, e.g. for export the layout in the
   Visual Explorer, sometimes an exception is thrown.

 Workaround:
   Try to open the dialog again. It should work the second or third
   time.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Bug in disposing the RunnerMessage
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
   The former Cancel button is removed from the dialog but one can
   still terminate the action thread hardly by clicking on the [X] of
   the Dialog, this may cause an inconsistent state, because the
   communication with the server via Corba can be interrupted at
   different stages. 


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Bug when deleting many network elements in the Visual Editor
-------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

   When many network elements in the Visual Editor are selected and 
   deleted, causing that not all network elements may disappear. Some
   of them remain visible in the editor. Further interacting with
   these 'ghost'-elements causes overall instability of
   ProMoT. Current loaded models can not be saved any more.

 Workaround:
   Do not click on or interact with any of the remaining network
   elements in the Visual Editor. Wait until no RELOAD appears in the
   status bar of the editor and choose 'Model'->'Refresh' in the menu
   of the editor to refresh the modules representation and checking.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Problems in updating the ProMoT Browser tree and 
 deleting a set of PromotTreeNodes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   If a set of PromotTreeNodes is selected and deleted in the ProMoT
   Browser tree the deletion throws an Exception and undo is not
   possible. This is also described in ticket #123 (delete of set of
   PromotTreeNodes). 

   Furthermore, sometimes the tree is not updated after adding,
   loading or deleting of nodes. The refresh action should be used in
   case of nodes which are missed or won't disappear.  


--------------------------------------------------------------------------
 Bug when exporting the HTML documentation of a model 
 with option 'with TeX Formula'
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

   When using the option 'with TeX Formula' in the export dialog
   problems can occur regarding the paths of the png images. In this
   cases, the TeX formula (represented by the png image) is not
   displayed in the browser.

 Workaround:
   Do not use this option. The values then are printed as standard,
   non-formated text.
