Hi, just struggling with some layout issues. I want to have screen with two colums of fields: user-card: [ style txt text 70 bold right style btn button 80x20 across txt "Jm�no:" jmeno: field mark: at return txt "P��jmen�:" prijmeni: field return txt "Ev. ��slo:" ev_cislo: field return txt "N�kl.St�:" naklstr: field return txt "Odd�len�:" oddeleni: field return txt "Refer�t:" referat: field return guide mark txt "Telefon:" telefon: field return txt "Mobil:" mobil: field return txt "Fax:" fax: field return txt "email:" email: text-list 200x80 ] guide mark navigates me to strange position: X coordinate seems to be OK, but Y starts just as if I put the item on other line (below the 'referat field) once setting 'below in front of 'guide, it seems to be OK, I just need another pairs (name of field and field itself) to put on one line, so I change above to: below guide mark across ... but Y coordinate is reset to 0. Why? I don't want to hard-lay items by using 'at directive, but I am not able to follow all the combinations of below, across, guide, at, origin and their dependencies ... Anyone willing to help or confirm a bug? I know rebolforces.com reports some similar problems too, but not sure if it concerns .38 version too ... Thanks, -pekr-

Hi Petr, The following changed version seems to work. It appears 'guide needs an 'at to tell it where reset the guide from. (I'm assuming you wanted two columns) user-card: [ style txt text 70 bold right style btn button 80x20 across txt "Jm�no:" jmeno: field mark: return txt "P��jmen�:" prijmeni: field return txt "Ev. ��slo:" ev_cislo: field return txt "N�kl.St�:" naklstr: field return txt "Odd�len�:" oddeleni: field return txt "Refer�t:" referat: field return at mark guide txt "Telefon:" telefon: field return txt "Mobil:" mobil: field return txt "Fax:" fax: field return txt "email:" email: text-list 200x80 ] view layout user-card

When we see the beta5 docs, we'll have a better idea again. It is hard to judge what is the intended behaviour now, because of changes since the beta4.1 docs.

The FAQ there is for beta 4.1. I'll have to go through it and see what is still relevant to the experimental releases, expect an update in the next week. Cheers, Allen K p.s I've just added another new gadget in the workshop area of my reb.
