1. COED11 opens minimized and will not restore in WindowsCOED11 opens in a minimized state on the taskbar. Clicking on it to restore the program has no effect. Usually when the COED11
closes, it saves the position and size of the program window to enable it to open in the same place the next time. But instead of saving the fact
that it is minimized, it saves the size of the window as zero. Then when the program is next opened, it loads the window as size zero as though
the restored size of the program is zero.
 To fix this problem try the following steps.
- Right-click on the shortcut for the COED. Choose PROPERTIES
- Under the SHORTCUT tab, look for the bit that says RUN: followed by a selection button that probably says NORMAL WINDOW.
Click on this and select MAXIMIZED. Click OK.
- Open the COED using this icon. The COED should open in a maximized window.
- Close the COED and then go back to the PROPERTIES of the shortcut again (right-click and choose properties).
Change the RUN: option to say NORMAL WINDOW and click OK.
- Open the COED again, it should appear as big as the screen but it will not be actually maximized.
Click and drag the title bar to move the whole window then use the mouse to drag the corner of the window to make it a sensible size. Close the COED.
- Open the COED again using the shortcut. It should open in the same position and size as when it was closed.
2. Headwords display the definition of the entry above itWhen certain headwords are clicked to display the definition, the entry above the one required in the list is displayed. E.g. offshoot
displays the entry offset in the definition screen.
The problem starts on the entry for octroi, the definition for this is displayed as the ORIGIN part of the definition of octothorp
which is the entry above it. Looking at the definition of octothorp, the ORIGIN part of the definition is missing. In the print edition the
definition is stated as another term for the symbol # the # is missing from the definition. From this entry onwards the entries are
displaying the definitions of the previous entry, until you get to oil well. This is the last entry to display the previous definition. The
following entry, oily, displays the correct definition. This means that the definition for oil well is actually missing.
This bug can be fixed by clicking below to install version 2.1 of the COED11.
