Hmmm. Just been playing with layouts and could've used /size. But
having experimented with it, I'm getting problems. By my reckoning,
the following should produce two identical windows...
REBOL []
lo: [
origin 1x1
text "Click on me." [view/new p-lo]
]
lo-data: layout lo
p-lo: layout [
origin 1x1
panel lo lo-data/size
]
view center-face layout lo
But when I click on the first one, the second one, (the p-low layout)
doesn't show all the text. So, is this a bug, or should I just wait
for the View manual?
Oh, and the text in the following starts out high-lighted and stays
high-lighted regardless of whether the mouse is over it. Changing
origin to 1x1 fixes this though.
view layout [origin 0x0 text "Some active text." []]
