inform crashes?

Has anyone noticed that the inform tool systematically trashes the view into feeblemin state? once I close the inform window, only a 250x150 region of my display becomes active under view... anything outside this region is DEAD... This has been confirmed on win 98 and a NT4.0 sp6 machine the latter having 512MB RAM. -Maxim << Don't rush me Sonny - you rush a miracle man, you get lousy miracles

Hello Maxim! On 13-Lug-01, you wrote: MO> Has anyone noticed that the inform tool systematically MO> trashes the view into feeblemin state? It seems to work correctly here - I never had problems with it. Regards, Gabriele. -- Gabriele Santilli <[giesse--writeme--com]> - Amigan - REBOL programmer Amiga Group Italia sez.

What (minimal) actions do you take to produce the crash? Are you using view to launch a program that uses inform?

the application in itself is rather complex. it is a multi-source kind of things. BUT all the view stuff is handled in the main source. two windows are opened without border nor titles and another one is opened with title on (I use it as a requester BUT its a normal view window.) The only other thing of note is that Upon launching the application, I do the following: view/new/options switch-pane [no-title no-border] view/new/options tool-pane [no-title no-border] do-events then the tool-pane attempts to open an inform window through a button even the most simple layout with nothing except one button and the ending return button. The problem occurs. the app still works, except the "hot" region of the ui is limited in size as described above. I have tried to call do-events at different places within the event handling (thinking that re-starting event handling might fix this) but nothing so far works. can anyone give me a small source which effectively works at their place so I can see if it works at my place? just so I can compare the differences.. TIA -Maxim

I too was looking for a sample of INFORM that worked and the only one I found was Carl's (pattern recognition?) which was used to register a web site He does: inform layout [vh2 "Could Not Submit Site. Error info:" area wrap 400x200 rslt] I tried and could not get it to lock up. Some of my attempts when I coded it in some samples locked up my untrusty win95 system. You can find it at : www.reboltech.com/addsite.r or navigate to it from the rebol rebsite under World Wide Reb Sites / Add Site. Aside from running the addsite.r script with errors that cause the inform to display on the parent panel, I have not looked at it. But it might be your Rosetta Stone.
