Calculator and waveform windows unreadable

Hi all,

I have this strange error I'm trying to debug. When I use analog
artist, the calculator tool, and any waveform windows are badly laid
out - it seems like extra vertical space has been added everywhere. It
varies as to how bad it is - sometimes you cannot see anything in the
windows apart from grey, and presumably the data is off the screen
somewhere.

This is an example of the problem. I have tried running cadence in a
fresh directory with no design kit and its ok, so I guess its some
setup file thats corrupt but I cant figure out which one. Any
suggestions would be appreciated.

Reuben,

Very strange. Look to see if you have a file ".ws*" somewhere (e.g. .ws_state)
and if so, delete it.

Which subversion of IC are you using? (icfb -W)
I've not seen this before, but this might give me somewhere to start looking...

Regards,

Andrew.

 

Perfect - thats fixed it.

I have been doing a lot of ocean/skill work recently - perhaps that
messed things up...

It was 5.10.41.169 by the way.

Thanks again, Andrew.
