In comment 81 (!!) of this report http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16848, a community member has found a workaround, which seems to work for most of the affected users. The other related bugs Hermann mentioned are those: bug 16975 <http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16975>bug 18025 <http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=18025>bug 17565 <http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17565>bug 17715 <http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=17715> Best, Panos -- On Thu, Apr 13, 2017 at 5:19 PM, Richard Gaskin via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Thanks for the background info. > > Can you share the bug report ID's so I can follow those in Bugzilla? > > -- > Richard Gaskin > > > hh wrote: > >> Richard G. wrote (in the 'vertical-text'-thread): >>>>> On disk the Linux build of CEF takes up 135 MBs, and like any >>>>> browser I would imagine it more than doubles RAM requirements >>>>> for an app using it. >>>>> >>>> hh wrote: >>>> I would even give a full Gigabyte of RAM if this could make the >>>> browser widget work on linux ... >>>> >>> Richard G. wrote: >>> had pretty good luck on Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit - what's your setup? >>> >> >> Richard, I moved this to a new thread, fitting more the subject.
