Label Option form not displaying

jrem

I am trying to add labels to my layout using Virtuoso IC6.1.-64b.485 and the label options form is not displaying. At the bottom of the CIW window, it says to "Use the option form to enter the text of the label:" after I select Create->Label... from the layout window.

 It looks like the function leHiCreateLabel(hiGetCurrentWindow() leGetEnv("labelMode")) is issued but nothing happens

 Any ideas?

  • Does it appear if you hit "F3"?

    What window manager are you using? I have seen issues with options forms not being brought to the front due to the "focus stealing prevention" behaviour of some window managers.

  •  In 5.1.41 the options form poped up automatically when you started the "Create Label", no matter

    if you have set the option in the CIW->Options->User Preferences->"Options display when command start".

    That changed in 6.1.  which may be the trouble here.  F3 should work and I have filed a CCR already which will

    bring back the old behavior.

     Regards,
