Area bug?

 [1/5] from: atruter:hih:au at: 5-Sep-2002 16:49


Out of the many problems I have found answers to on the ml and elsewhere, one still eludes me. Given: view layout [ area 100x25 button "Next" [ view/new layout [ field "Name" area "Some text" ] ] ] Press next, then close the window, then enter two lines of text and press next again . . . notice how (on Windows95 at least) the field and area text are scrolled. The obvious questions are why? How do I prevent this? Is this a bug? Has anyone raised this with feedback yet? Any and all workarounds greatly appreciated (preferably of a global nature, having to "do [xxx]" each field / area is not really practical).

I'm sure it is!

Don't know, but I think you should.

After a bit of play, I found that a 'focus before you opened the next window seemed to clear the bug. (At least on Amiga.) Try this... view layout [ a: area 100x25 ; Note the addition of 'a for 'focus to focus on. button "Next" [ focus a unfocus view/new layout [ field head "Name" area "Some text" ] ] ] The 'unfocus is optional with regards to clearing the bug. It also seems it doesn't matter what you focus on - placing the 'a in the /new layout works just as well... lo: layout [ a: field head "Name" ; 'a here now. area "Some text" ] view layout [ area 100x25 button "Next" [ focus a unfocus view/new lo ] ] Hope this works for you too... -- Carl Read

it is not a bug, is a (strange) feature. The para object, which keeps scroll info, is shared by faces. A simple: x: field para [] clones the para object. A more global solution: my-styles: stilize [area: area para [] field: field para []] view layout [ styles my-styles field "" area "" ] --- Ciao Romano

It will just use a bit more memory. Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[g--santilli--tiscalinet--it]> -- REBOL Programmer Amigan -- AGI L'Aquila -- REB: http://web.tiscali.it/rebol/index.r
