Sorry to have fallen behind in the email, there have been some other things going on at this end.
You're right, the CV pane is really broken. I'm away from my layout until (probably) Wednesday, so can't check everything, there seem to be a number of problems:
a) The "Read Sheet", "Read All", "Write Sheet" and "Write All" buttons just plain don't work.
b) Writing a CV by changing the value on the CV pane and clicking write can sometimes write nothing (no change), or write a zero value.
c) Changes to the CV pane are not always reflected in the other panes.
d) There's something wrong with how the CV pane understands the "state" of a CV's value. On other panes, this is reflected in the color. Here, it shows in the State column (which is not directly editable on purpose). But sometimes that State column is not right, e.g. an edited CV doesn't show as "Edited". And clicking the state column can change that (as if the state really had changed, but the display hadn't updated)
I've been able to reproduce a, b and d, and have no doubt that c happens too.
I'll look in to it soon. Sorry for the trouble. In the meantime, people might want to use the single-CV programmer instead of that pane for changing a single CV. You can (he said optimistically) have one of those and a set of panes open at the same time and use them both, but they won't see each others changes to values.
Has anybody had any problems with _reading_ CVs from the CV pane?
