Re: Problem with Script Editor in LC 9.6.2 (rc3)

Thanks you Lagi, Tore and others. Looks like this is specific to Mac OS Big Sur. I have submitted a bug report: https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23139 Henry > On Mar 25, 2021, at 4:11 PM, Lagi Pittas via use-livecode > wrote:

Re: Problem with Script Editor in LC 9.6.2 (rc3)

HI Henry, Tried it on windows LC 9.6.2 RC2 and it works fine. I still have the problem of very laggy text editor for a machine with 16G of Ram and SSD, there is no scrolling problem on a greater than 5000 line script so it looks like it's big Turd this time ;-) Lagi On Thu, 25 Mar 2021 at

Re: Problem with Script Editor in LC 9.6.2 (rc3)

I have followed your recipe and I can confirm that this is a problem also with ordinary scrolling fields in LC 9.6.2 (rc3). It does not seem to be a problem in LC 9.6.2 (rc1). Best regards Tore Nilsen > 25. mar. 2021 kl. 22:07 skrev HENRY LOWE via use-livecode > : > > On further investigation

Re: Problem with Script Editor in LC 9.6.2 (rc3)

On further investigation this appears to be a problem with any LC scrolling text field, not just the Script Editor. Please try the following and let me know what you observe: 1. Create a new stack (e.g. 1024 x 768) 2. Add a scrolling text field and resize the field to fill the card. 3. Paste e

RichardG, That was a very long way of not answering the question. Very insightful regarding the DG though. :) It also went a long way of assuming the skill levels of the audience. Some of us are not limited to xTalk level. I understand C++ and why Trevor likely coded the DG using such. My question

Re: Problem with Script Editor in LC 9.6.2 (rc3)

I have definitely experienced this in Windows, not Mac. But I had assumed it was an anomaly from running it in Parallels. I’ve had it for a number of versions back now. It only happens occasionally and, as you say, only for large scripts where it has the most impact. I tend to walk away, make a cof

Re: Problem with Script Editor in LC 9.6.2 (rc3)

Quick question. Why would the line number field be complicated? I can’t imagine anything that would necessitate making it complicated. Numbers and break points. That’s all it handles, right? On Wed, 24 Mar 2021 at 21:45, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > I

Are you sure you do not have a mouseUp handler somewhere in a frontScript? Bob S > On Mar 24, 2021, at 2:58 PM, HENRY LOWE via use-livecode > wrote: > > Thanks Richard. I turned off the line number option and the problem still > occurs. I can reproduce this with any script that extend beyon

Re: Problem with Script Editor in LC 9.6.2 (rc3)

Same LC version but not Big Sur. I was able to scroll properly while selecting text. Bob S > On Mar 24, 2021, at 2:05 PM, HENRY LOWE via use-livecode > wrote: > > Since updating to LC 9.6.2 (rc3) on a 2019 iMac running Mac OS Big Sur 11.2.3 > I have been experiencing the following intermit

Thanks Matthias. I am not using any 3rd party text tools or plug-ins. If anyone else can confirm this issue I will submit a bug report. Henry > On Mar 24, 2021, at 3:17 PM, matthias rebbe via use-livecode > wrote: > > Henry, > > i had a similar problem already with previous LC releases. In m

Re: Problem with Script Editor in LC 9.6.2 (rc3)

Henry, i had a similar problem already with previous LC releases. In my case a 3rd party tool called Popclip was the culprit. Popclip is automatically activated as soon as some text is selected. So when i selected text in the editor some strange things happened, for example the whole text was s

Re: Problem with Script Editor in LC 9.6.2 (rc3)

Thanks Richard. I turned off the line number option and the problem still occurs. I can reproduce this with any script that extend beyond the bottom of the script editor pane. Select the first line of a script and then (holding the mouse button down) continue dragging down to select additional
