| 1159698 | LLB does not reliably update when VI is modified post-build
When a post-build action modifies a VI in an LLB and the LLB is copied to another folder, the copied LLB contains an old version of the modified VI and does not match the LLB originally created by the Build Spec. Workaround: The VI in the LLB needs to be modified in something other than a post-build action. |
LabVIEW 2020 | N/A | Jan 6, 2021 |
| 1165082 | Race condition with an array of notifiers and a For Loop
When building an array of notifiers and connecting the Build Array function to a For Loop, the second iteration of the loop will timeout while waiting on a notification. Workaround: Index out the two notifiers and operate on them independently instead of in a For Loop. Make a data dependency so that either Obtain Notifier 1 and/or Send Notification 1 are guaranteed to execute before Send Notification 2. |

| 163371 | "Save As:Copy" on a nested library breaks member VIs if use option to add copied library to owner library
Old Description :"Save As:Copy" on a nested library breaks member VIs if use option to add copied library to owner libraryIf you have a nested library, a library that is owned by another library, and you use Save As:Copy, there is an option to add the duplicate library to the original owner library. If you use this option, the member VIs of the duplicate library are all broken because they are not correctly named as members of the owning library.This bug affects all types of libraries, .lvlib, .lvclass, .xctl and .lvsc. Workaround: Option 1: Do not use the "add to owning library" option and instead add the duplicate library to the owner manually after the copy. Option 2: After the copy operation, open and close one of the new VIs and then move the duplicate library out of the owner library. Browse to any missing VIs that pop up a browse dialog. Move the duplicate library back into the owner library. |

| 169840 | Large matrix operations that utilize the Intel MKL on Linux may crash LabVIEW
When one or more matrix operations consumes most of the system resources, the Intel MKL library produces an unhandled exception that results in a LabVIEW application crashing.This Intel library is used to accelerate fundamental linear algebra operations performed under Linux operating systems. This issue has been reproduced outside the LabVIEW execution environment and a bug report has been submitted to Intel.Because the crash is tied to system resources, it can manifest itself in many ways. For example, we have reliably reproduced the problem by:1. Decomposing a large matrix into multiple large matrices.Specific example: Computing the singular value decomposition (SVD) of a 2500-by-2500 matrix on a system with 256M RAM.2. Simultaneously computing multiple matrix operations using relatively small matrices.Specific example: Computing 30 matrix expressions using 300 x 300 matrices on a system with 512 MB RAM. Workaround: If you have identified one or more matrix operations in your application that exhibit this behavior, you have multiple options to avoid crashing.1. Serialize the matrix operations so that they are not consuming resources in parallel.2. Replace affected matrix arithmetic functions using Basic Linear Algebra Subroutine (BLAS)functions found on the BLAS palette.3. Structure your application so that these operations are not competing with other functions for system resources. |

Changing a constructor from an old version of a .NET assembly to a newer version at edit time does not cause the new assembly to be loaded and consequently none of the new functionality is available. Workaround: 1. Remove the old assembly so the .NET Runtime is not able to find it. It will then return the updated version to LabVIEW.2. Load the new assembly in a blank VI before opening your existing VI. This will load the new version into memory prior to you requesting the older version. |

| 248914 | Changing the order of controls or deleting controls in a type def cluster can change references
When you create a reference for a control in a type defined cluster LabVIEW uses the cluster order to determine what control the reference is referring to. Say you have a type defined cluster with elements A, B, C and D with cluster order 1,2,3 and 4 respectively. On the block diagram of a VI you have control references to each of the controls. If you open the type def and delete control C the block diagram of the VI will only contain 3 references. Moreover, the reference that used to be for control C will now reference control D. This is because the control is based on cluster order Workaround: N/A |

If Windows 7 if a window is unresponsive to user input (e.g. mouse clicks) for five seconds it will ghost the window and display "(Not Responding)".Some operations in LabVIEW run in the UI thread. This is to prevent different operations from happening in parallel (e.g. compiling, edit operations, saving, drawing, etc.). Because large block diagrams can take longer than five seconds to compile or run clean up on Windows can tag LabVIEW as Not Responding.In some cases the ghosted window can move behind the other open windows when it finishes it task. Workaround: Wait until the expensive task as finished before trying to interact with the window. |

| 468139 | .NET Callback Event VI keeps the Callback VI reserved even after calling a Close Reference VI is called
For example, when running the "Passing data to a .NET Event Callback.vi" example, after stopping the main example VI, the "Callback - EventHappened.vi" is still reserved. Workaround: I've come up with a work around for this problem. GC.Collect() can be called manually from the invoke node in a separate VI(Or the user could call it after un-registering the callback). This would un-reserve the callback VI. Steps : 1. Drop an invoke node in an empty VI 2. Right click on the node and in the menu under "Select Class" -> ".NET" choose Browse. 3. In the Class browser dialog navigate to mscorlib(4.0.0.0) assembly in the drop down 4. Once selected in the list below expand the system namespace and choose GC class. 5. Once this is done you can choose the Collect() static method. 6. You can unreserve the callback VI by running this VI. |

| 52263 | Some operations on integer waveforms lose dt value
Some functions, such as Absolute Value and Logarithm Base 10 operate as you expect with DBL Waveforms, but when you apply the same functions to an I16 waveform, for example, the Absolute Value function works as you expect while the Logarithm Base 10 function loses the sampling interval dt value. LabVIEW resets the sampling interval dt value to 1.00. If the input waveform to the log function has a time stamp for t0, that value is also lost. Workaround: Extract the Y-array of the waveform and perform the needed operations on Y before re-building the waveform. |

| 677020 | Channel wires do not automatically update minor changes in core data type (Not A Bug)
Minor changes in non-typedef data types passed to a channel wire do not automatically update the channel wires. As an example, changing the name of a string contained in a cluster will not update the type: creating an indicator from the channel wire's downstream endpoint will still show the original names of the cluster. This is not a bug. The situation is identical to using a queue, notifier, user event, or any other type-with-subtype that passes through a subVI terminal. If you have a queue of type cluster and you pass that queue into a subVI, then you change the field names of the upstream cluster, LabVIEW does not rewrite the terminal of the subVI. The only types that propagate changes to subVIs are typedefs. The endpoints of channels are subVIs and follow the same rules. LabVIEW does provide ways to request an update to the endpoints (see workaround). Workaround: Option 1. Right click on the channel endpoint and chose "Adapt To Element Type". This will rescript the endpoint to exactly match the core type. You will need to repeat this on the other endpoint(s) of the channel. Option 2. Using a typedef or strict typedef as the channel's core type will ensure the types always match. Any changes made to the typedef will be made to the channel. |

| 997305 | LabVIEW can crash or display incorrect text characters when "Use Unicode UTF-8" option enabled in Windows
On systems that have the Windows option "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" enabled in Region settings, LabVIEW can crash or display garbled text in some languages. To find the Region settings go to Control Panel > Region > Administrative > Change system locale...This option causes the system default code page to be UTF-8, which LabVIEW does not support.R&,D made changes in the LabVIEW 2020 f1 patch to prevent the crash, but some text will still display incorrectly in some languages. Workaround: Disable the "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" option in Windows. |

| 2643576 | Incorrect VI Reference Opened by Open VI Reference When Created from an Existing Strict VI Reference
When passing a strict VI reference to the VI path parameter of Open VI Reference, the VI reference output forms incorrectly. The wire's data type is a strict VI reference, but the reference is non-strict. Passing this reference to functions that require a strict VI reference, such as Start Asynchronous Call, will result in a run-time error. Workaround: Fixed. |
