I know there aren't a great number of Mac users out there, but I've got an
intermittent Mac problem which is driving me nuts & I'd like to know if there is anyone who
has seen this or knows what is happening.

On some of our machines, but not all, files opened from the CodeWarrior plug-in
don't appear in the P4Web default changelist. They are listed in the path browser as
opened by the current user, but when a submit is attempted, they are not listed in the
submit form. The client is set to the same thing in P4Web and CodeWarrior VCS setup.

If I select the same client on a different machine in P4Web - either on Mac or
Windows, I see none of the files as submission candidates.

Does anyone know what P4Web might be looking at to determine that a file which
is opened for edit by the current user on the current client is not a candidate for
submission? I can't be sure this is a P4Web problem, but it sure looks like it. The
frustrating fact is that other machines work without any problems at all, but I have at least three
which exhibit this problem. Has anyone else seen it?

I have some engineers who are submitting every file in an independent change
list to get around this problem, making our whole system harder to use. I don't want to tell
them that they can't open files directly from the IDE. I've got to find a workaround! I
submitted this bug to Perforce a couple of months ago, but I don't think they have been
able to reproduce it - so I'm not expecting a fix until I can show them what's going on.

Thanks!
