Error description

  • Exception_Access_Violation error when switching Edit Modes in
    DOORS (from Exclusive Edit to either Read Only Mode or Shareable
    Edit Mode) by following these steps:
    
    Versions: reported in DOORS Client 9.3.0.4, we are able to
    reproduce even with 9.3.0.7
    
    Steps to reproduce:
    ==============
    1.? Open any Module and create new Attribute (while ensuring
    that the option 'Add new attribute to current view' is enabled)
    You can also create new Attributes by choosing any existing
    Attributes (provided that the original Attribute has the option
    'Add new attribute to current view' enabled themselves)
    
    2.? Repeat step # 1 atleast 3 times, so that there are 3 new
    columns added to the View in the Module.
    
    3.? Goto Edit ? Edit Mode and select either Read Only Mode OR
    Shareable Edit Mode.
    
    4.? Choose 'No' when prompted to save unsaved changes in the
    Module.
    
    We would observe the Exception Access Violation error message as
    follows:
    =====================================
    -R-E- DXL: ?config/menuFns.inc:391? An unexpected error has
    occurred: doors.exe caused an EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION in
    module doors.exe at 0023:00402F31
    
    -R-F- DXL: ?config/menuFns.inc:391? internal error, please
    submit a bug report
    =====================================
    Along with a diagnostic log file as attached to this record.
