Random tokens when 3 is pressed
« on: April 25, 2011, 10:51:29 pm »
Sometimes, when using my calc and press the 3 key, sometimes the Real( token pops up followed by some number or another.
After I press 3 and the tokens pop up it doesn't happen again for a while.
I have no idea why this happens.

Just now I tried to type in 49538/16384 and 495real(35,8/16384 .  It's also done this in the program editor and the y-var editing screen.
Installed atm are omnicalc, zstart, axe and calcutil.  This happens on average two or three times a month, but in this case hasn't happened for a month or two.

Spoiler For omnicalc stuff enabled:
entries menu
RAM recovery
base conversions
lowercase Letters
thousands Seperators
quick APPS
hide Finance app
no options selected in calcutil, only installed

Axe: the hook and lowercase enabled

Personally I'm suspecting omnicalc b/c it's using the real( token, but I can be completely off.

EDIT: real(35 doesn't seem to be associated with any of the omnicalc functions, so it's probably not that... ???

EDIT2: this happened long before I ever used zstart, btw

I have also had this problem when using *only* Axe and Omnicalc, so I assume its to do with some quirk with their hooks fighting eachother

In which order are they installed?  IIRC, Both Axe and Omnimcalc can chain hooks, and so I would suspect that one of them is calling the other with some bad values in mind.

I have the same problem (with Axe/Omnicalc)

I pretty much always install omnicalc first to make use of the RAM restore feature, which brings it to the previous config.  Goes too far back to remember :P

I think I always have omnicalc in first anyway b/c I use the entries menu extensively.

I always install Omnicalc second, since I usually install it in the middle of Axe programming when i suddenly need to convert between bases

Axe doesn't chain hooks, it uses the Token hook exclusively.  I'm not sure how omnicalc uses the Token hook (which is Axe's only hook) so I can't say for sure what the problem might be.

I believe it does.  Or maybe the token hook will change tokens in the catalog too.

EDIT: Well, I've confirmed that axe doesn't use the catalog hook.
