--- Comment #9 from Sergio Callegari scallegari@arces.unibo.it 2008-12-21 20:04:07 --- Bug is still present as of 1.1.10. In the meantime LTSPICE is now called LTSPICE IV. Updated link to download is http://ltspice.linear.com/software/LTspiceIV.exe. This software can be downloaded and run by anybody.
Instructions to reproduce the MDI bug are as above:
1) open a sample circuit, they are provided in the example dir in the program folder of the installed circuit simulator. For instance try the astable.asc circuit among the "Educational" ones.
2) Press the simulation button or use the menu item Simulate -> Run
3) Wait for the plot pane to appear side to side with the circuit pane
4) Minimize the plot pane and then the circuit pane. Note that a spurious tab appears in the multiple document interface
5) At this point there should be two overlapping icons in the bottom left corner of the application window. Drag the top most one, so you can see both. Note that when you drag an icon, if they were (partially or fully) overlapping before, then the background of the other icon is (partially or fully) copied too, which is clearly incorrect. This has probably to do with the fact that the circuit icon has a transparent background.
6) Click on the circuit icon (the .asc one). The circuit pane appears, and one more spurious tab does too.
At this point each document has both a "proper" tab and a "spurious" one. Clicking on spurious tab performs no useful action. Also these tabs cannot be closed.
