Problem with Calculator in ADE - Not showing

BrunoSchmitt

Hello Everyone,

I am using Cadence Virtuoso through a server (using Putty and Xming), on a Windows 10 laptop.

Everything was working fine and suddenly when I tried to open the Calculator, the windows is frozen, (i.e. the Calculator windows shows up, however when I click on it, it just disappear).

I tried everything I know to get around it (reboot Virtuoso, using another laptop, etc) but it did not work out.

Do you guys have any idea?

Thanks,

    I've not seen this, but knowing which version of Virtuoso you're using would help (Help->About in the CIW will tell  you the subversion number).

    Essentially this is very likely to be an issue with the X server you're using since I'm sure it's not something that would happen with another approach for sharing your display onto a Windows machine (perhaps you could try using vnc for example?). If it was an issue with Virtuoso it would show up on a direct X server connection. The Wikipedia page for Xming does indicate some issues, but I've no experience of using Xming so I can't really say how it behaves with Virtuoso - other than to say I'm not aware of others using it (from my customer interactions).

    Andrew.

    Dear Andrew,

    Thank you for the reply. I am using version IC6.1.5.500.15. 

    Yes, I have the same feeling that this issue is related with the X server. But what is weird is that I just tried using vnc and the issue persists.

    Hi Bruno,

    I can't find any report of such an issue. You are however using a rather old (and unsupported) version of the tools (probably about 5.5 years old), but I don't recall this happening before. Might be worth checking with something more recent.

    Regards,

    Andrew.
