IT Support - fix it. Glitches in the video are not acceptable. Send me your post address, and I will email you "Mr. Paperclip" that will permanently kill your glitchy monitor.
I have zero toleration for IT groups that toss out crap to developers.

Further poking reveals it could be the docking station... Also I'm a Hardware Guy not a Softie (I refuse to call LabView a programming language )

Amen to that (the tabview comment).
My reference to Mr. Paperclip goes back to a conversation in 2001. Another group of engineers was trying to work on 15" monochrome displays that were horrendous. I asked their manager, who is one of two of the biggest ass-hats I have ever met, why he didn't buy them current tech. I had just upgraded my team's displays to 21" Viewsonics (heyday at the time). "They still work." He said this in front of his team.
After he left, I suggested they just drop a paperclip down inside the electronics.

After death, the priest and scribe supervised. (12)

Administered ?
After death = Ad ( Anno Domini )
Priest = minister
Scribe = Ed ( editor )

Yes, you solved it Pete. Here's your first place medallion : 🏅

Doesn't Anno Domini mean "Year of the Lord"?
I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated.

Thank you! I tried - I even hastily threw my answer up before going back to edit in the definition, but Pete was just too foxy for me!

Edit
I meant Randor, Landor is a dodgy pub in Brixton

Despite all of my years practice, every now and again, even now, there are still times where it feels like WPF hates me!
Right now my custom ListBox subclass that I am editing for the n-th times really behave.. like it shouldn't!!!
Why, oh why doth you hateth me so?!

Didn't you know that WPF stands for: Windows Persistent Frustration

I didn't know! But I now recognize your wisdom!

While sitting in my gloom, a voice came to me.
"Cheer up, things could be worse"
So, I cheered up.
Things got worse.

"Custom" ListBox ... there's the problem.

Because it's WPF. WPF is a great example of how your (or anyone's) years of practice is an exercise WPF telling you "no", "no", "sort of", "no", "no", "ok in this custom scenario but don't expect it to behave the same if you make one little tweak."
At least that was my experience. I gave up on WPF pretty much at the get-go because it kept telling me "no" far too often.

|

Haha.. I didn't suffer that much...
But come to think about it.. I am pretty sure I hit a few WPF bug over the years that I had to work around.... Always frustrating!
