Display current view in window title bar

Er, that's exactly what it does do - shouldn't need to do anything to enable this. Maybe the Keysight Moment interface is opening the window and explicitly setting the banner?

Hi Andrew,

All of our windows just say "Virtuoso".

It's an issue with our setup then.

Good to know that's the intended behaviour.

Hi Matthew,

What window manager are you using? I've seen (I think) in the past some issues where the window banner gets truncated because of not understanding the registered trademark (i.e. ® ) character after Virtuoso.

Regards,

Andrew.

Matthew - one thought in case that is it. Try doing this in the CIW and then opening the windows:

envSetVal("designEditor.window" "windowNameFormat" 'string "%m: %l %c %v %x %a")

It's the "%a" that adds the application name. Note that you have to include it somewhere otherwise it gets automagically added to the beginning again (so I just put it at the end).

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew,

That solved it, thanks a bunch! I guess your hunch was right.

I'll add that to my .cdsinit then.

To answer your previous question, the window manager we're using is IceWM.

Matthew

Thanks Matthew - IceWM isn't one I'm familiar with. I can only assume it has some problem with this character in window banners.

Anyway, at least you have a solution for now!

Regards,

Andrew.

Hi Andrew and Matthew,

I had the same issue with IceWM. Andrew's hint (as always) solved it, the registered trademark ® character isn't showing at the end, so it is clearly swallowed.

Since it is our own patched IceWM installation, we have a chance to debug this, if it would help anybody.

Best Regards,

Jörg

Hi Jörg,

First avenue would be to check whether the font used contains the character for ®. In KDE there are Settings for the Appearance, which lists the fonts used for the various places. I see from a quick google search that IceWM has controls for the TitleFontName too: http://www.icewm.org/manual/icewm-11.html

Hello,

IceWM queries the charset of the application locale; this is then used 
for translation of single-byte application strings to unicode before
printing them. If the string contains characters not present in the
charset, the conversion stops with a warning output (on the terminal
that contains IceWM) and the string is shown only up to the non-existing
character.

In case of virtuoso the charset ANSI_X3.4-1968 is returned (the 127
character US-ANSI charset), which does not contain chars >0x7F.

The attached patch changes the charset in this specific case to ISO-8859-1, 
which is a superset of US-ANSI (so nothing will break) and contains 
reasonable definions for the higher 128 characters, thus the conversion 
of the new window title format can be done completely.
