Known Problems

• IDE-4593
  When {{iarbuild.exe}} loads a project generated with an older version of IAR Embedded Workbench, the project file is not updated to the new version.

• IDE-4579
  The Embedded Workbench IDE can have problems showing graphical elements properly if the screen resultion is changed.

• IDE-4540
  Source code completion can fail if the project path contains non-ASCII characters.

• IDE-4522
  The coloring of doxygen keywords can change to an incorrect color scheme when a source file is edited. Closing and reopening the file restores the coloring.

• IDE-4488
  Using casts in the *Watch* window might fail because of ambiguous grammar. A workaround could be to provide some context, for example, {{(struct Derived *) instead of just (Derived *).}}

• IDE-4443
  When the C-SPY debugger is started, a message {{Flash download error: Failed to open file xxx.sim}} can be displayed, caused by the {{.sim}} file being locked.

• IDE-4442
  Font and Color settings are not inherited from older to newer versions of the Embedded Workbench IDE.

• IDE-4438
  Beginning with IAR Embedded Workbench shared components version 8.1, build actions (specified in the *Project>Options>Build Actions* dialog box) will execute as 'attached' processes, meaning that they no longer can open a separate window. To see the version number of the IAR Embedded Workbench shared components, choose *Help>About>Product Info*.

• IDE-4428
  You cannot edit breakpoints if the path of the source code file contains Japanese characters.

• IDE-4417
  The text editor might fail to correctly resolve active/inactive code for {{#if/#else/#endif}} branches, that is, {{#defines}} from included headers might not be included and complex {{#if}} statements might be evaluated incorrecly when resolving active/inactive code. Active/inactive code is only applicable for source files that are a part of the active project.

• IDE-4186
  The TI-RTOS plugin might open a large number of windows when the C-SPY Debugger is started.

• IDE-4162
  Having two editor windows docked side by side on two monitors can cause problems with the window scrollbars.

• IDE-4066
  Redrawing the IDE status bar on the screen can fail, especially when the display scaling is changed.

• IDE-4059
  The column labels in the *Data Sample* window are not updated when you switch variables in the *Data Sample Setup* window.

• IDE-3991
  Command line options, for example include paths, that end with two or more backslashes might give error message "[Su009]: Missing closing quote in command file".

• IDE-3959
  Because of a conflict with the Windows operating system, some IAR Embedded Workbench shortcut keys that contain the Alt key no longer work.

• IDE-3581
  Resizing the columns in the *Workspace* window produces large pixelated icons.

• EW25524 / IDE-2671
  When a breakpoint set at "memset();" triggered, the execution might halt at "__aeabi_memset(_D, _N, _C);" in DLib_Product_string.h.

• EW24226 / IDE-2513
  In some rare cases after performing a "Rebuild All" command, executing a "Download and Debug" command might not start the debug session. Executing a "Clean" command solves this problem.

• EW25237 / IDE-2479
  Pressing "Debug without Downloading" very rapidly creates a crash.

• EW25115 / IDE-2354
  After stepping over a statement that changes the value of the current stack pointer (for example by way of changing which SP that is the current SP) the execution might not stop as expected.

• EW24690 / IDE-2181
  If the embOS plugin is enabled, the contents of Locals window might fail to refresh when the execution stops.

• EW24090 / IDE-1871
  If you enable Code Coverage in the Disassembly window, it might be incomplete unless you also enable the Function Profiler and choose "Source Trace (flat)" from the context menu in the Function Profiler window.

• EW23847 / IDE-1639
  If a collapsed group of files in the Workspace window contains a file that will be rebuilt next time the project is built, the red star icon might not be shown in the build status column. However, if the file group is expanded, the icon is shown correctly.

• EW23821 / IDE-1611
  Files that are not members of a project can be checked out but not checked in again if you are using the IDE SCC integration.

• IDE-1355
  Disabling "Function Profiler" do not disable "Power Sampling".

• EW23347 / IDE-1347
  If you close the Disassembly window while it is the active window, it will be reopened every time execution stops. Workaround: Click in the editor window to make it active before you close the Disassembly window. Now then the Disassembly window will only reopen when the execution stops at a location that does not have any corresponding source code.
