The following script works (as I think it should) in e.g. 11.6.RC12,
but fails in 12.0.9.
set echo ename1 20% 50%
font echo 25 sans bold
color echo yellow
echo Hello
The failure is that the "font echo ..." command is ignored. The
problem is revealed when you use Up Arrow to recall the commands. The
command ending in "%" is concatenated onto the next ("font echo")
command, e.g. this becomes a "single" (non-functional) command:
set echo ename1 20% 50% font echo 25 sans bold
The problem does not occur, of course, if you enter one command at a
time. It is only when you paste in all 4 commands as a multi-line
script that the problem occurs. It also occurs when the multi-line
script is run via "script filename.spt".
Again, this problem does NOT occur in 11.6.RC12 or 11.6.14.
The problem DOES occur in 11.8.2 and in 11.9.1 as well as 12.0.9.
--------------
A regression (pertaining only to the application):
In 11.6, echos were reported in the Jmol console in a bold blue font,
very nice!
But starting in 11.8.2 they are reported in the console in the same
thin black font as entered commands, making it easy to overlook them
and hard to find them.
---------------
Now here's something weird. Another regression? I am testing in
Safari in Mac OS X with current Apple Java 1.5.0_24.
For over a year, I failed to realize that to paste scripts into the
Jmol console on a Mac, you need to use the WINDOWS shortcut Ctrl-V
instead of the expected Mac shortcut Cmd-V. (The only way I knew how
was to block, drag, and drop.)
In the APPLICATION Jmol console, the only way to paste in is with
WINDOWS syntax (Ctrl-V); Mac Cmd-V fails. This is true for 11.6-12.0.
In the APPLET Jmol console for 11.6.RC12, Cmd-V pastes in (HOORAY!)
in a nice bold font. Ctrl-V does nothing.
But in APPLET Jmol console for 12.0.9, we're back to having to use
WINDOWS syntax; Mac syntax doesn't work!
