Blink VGA function in IBM PS/2 does not work #3447
Comments
Does it work on non-IBM PS/2 VGA? |
In graphics modes, the behavior is by definition dependent on the video BIOS. Try something like an AT with IBM VGA and see if it works there. |
Does it support 640x350 EGA mode? If so, try that with an "[IBM] EGA" video card - that should emulate blink in graphics modes somewhat sanely, although I suspect my handling of plane 3 is incorrect here. I'm currently trying to get a bunch of stuff fixed for VGA and SVGA which should emulate blink properly when I'm done fixing stuff up. To clarify, blink behaviour in EGA-style graphics modes toggles bit 3 of the colour according to the blink clock. I don't know how it combines with the plane 3 data (I implemented it as an XOR but I suspect it actually overrides the contents of plane 3), but this will be a good test case for the proper behaviour. |
I've tested with the latest code and it seems to blink between what you'd actually want and that grey screen. |
Can you upload the VM so this can be reproduced? |
Here's an 86Box VM with DOS 3.31 and Lotus 1-2-3 release 2.3 on an SX495 w/ MR BIOS and a 100 MHz 486-DX4. Launching 1-2-3 is as simple as 1-2:
From there, follow the instructions of the original post. Alternatively: / a a right right right right enter enter |
Describe the bug
When turning on WYSIWYG mode on Lotus 1-2-3 Release 2.3, or launching Lotus 1-2-3 Release 2.4 where WYSIWYG mode is enabled by default, the screen becomes white and is non functional
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
Expected behavior
The screen should've stayed the same color (https://youtu.be/jHUaneVUkfQ as the video here).
I found a temporary remedy that always gets reset when the application is started
This may be as help, as the issue seems to be happening related to "blink"
Screenshots
Without WYSIWYG
With WYSIWYG (it should've looked like without WYSIWYG, here the program is not operational where the menu and any input to the cells is not visible)
With WYSIWYG with Blink turned off (this is how it should look like)
