CCS/TM4C129ENCPDT: Memory Browser clips last digit of 32-Bit Hex, and 16-Bit - C Style

Part Number: TM4C129ENCPDT

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Working with CCS 8.0.0.00016 on macOS 10.13.3, using the Memory Browser to trace a Fault, and suddenly the display is clipping the last digit of 32-Bit Hex values, both TI Style and C Style, as well as 16-Bit C Style. I have used this feature before on a couple of computers and there were no display problems like this. I cannot find any setting to affect the font size. Resizing the Memory Browser just changes the number of columns, but the last digit in each column is always clipped. I've tried quitting CCS and restarting; I've tried closing the Memory Browser and adding it again; nothing seems to fix this.

I suppose it's possible that the multiple times I've used the Memory Browser were all under macOS Yosemite, but I feel like I've used the Memory Browser at least once on macOS 10.13.3 without this issue. Anyone have an idea of how to fix this? I can view in 64-Bit without clipped digits, but then I have to mentally reverse the order of the 32-bit values.

  • Brian,

    I believe I see what you are referring to.  

    Interesting that at the bottom of my view where there is only a single column of values it is not clipped.  Seems like the leading whitespace of the next column draws over top of the previous one.

    I will file a defect for this and see if I can find a workaround.

    Regards

    John

  • If I bump the font up to 12 for both the memory text and the default font size then it shows the last digit ok.  

    I am unable to reproduce on Windows so it looks Mac specific.  I have filed CCDSK-3197 to track this.

    Here is what it looks like with the changed settings

    Thank you for the 12-point workaround and official bug report.

    This may be macOS specific, but it's not a problem with Yosemite ... not sure which releases in between are good versus bad. I run Yosemite, which is rather old, for other compatibility reasons. I only mention this because the bug fix should probably be tested on multiple macOS releases.
