[racket-users] Re: No scroll ability in DrRacket v6.12

2018-04-19 Thread Stephen Smith
Installed Racket on another laptop in my home running Windows 10 and it scrolls without issue. Obviously an issue local to my machine. No time to debug this right now but if I do find the problem I'll post it here. On Sunday, March 25, 2018 at 1:20:46 PM UTC-4, Stephen Smith wrote: >

Authoring a new Racket book (targeting all platforms and non-programmers) and having to tell users to quote paths with spaces to be able to use the command-line tools seems distracting and an unnecessary complexity to impose on them. Reference this post: https://groups.google.com/d/msg/racket-

Hi All, I'm not sure if it just happened after installing 6.12 but after working on a program of some length I noticed I can't scroll any windows in DrRacket with the scroll wheel (grabbing a scrollbar works). Even the Help -> About DrRacket window won't scroll. I'm using an external Microsoft
