lingo-l text display bug after 3000 words
hello list In a rich text editable cast member, after about 3000 typed words, a great amount of the text suddenly disappears in the middle of the whole text. In place of the vanished text the user can see only a white area. If you type return at the beginning of that white sector, the text is coming back. Do you know a way to avoid that problem ?

Re: lingo-l text display bug after 3000 words
if i am not mistaken i once expwerienced that with long text. i don´t remember the amount of word but it was LONG. What happened was similar to what you describe. the only way i had to fix it was start with another director movie from scratch and work it from there. Anyway in authoring the problem was there but in runtime the text displayed correctly and no problem there but it was really annoying having to edit the blind text - Original Message - From: jean-louis valero [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 8:04 AM Subject: lingo-l text display bug after 3000 words hello list In a rich text editable cast member, after about 3000 typed words, a great amount of the text suddenly disappears in the middle of the whole text.

Re: lingo-l text display bug after 3000 words
I've experienced similar things in the script window with DirMX/WinXP. With long movie scripts, sometimes lines will white out and come back later. It's usually not too big of a deal, but one time it kept doing the same thing over and over again; it would crash Director and I would try the same thing again and it would crash again. I eventually had to edit the script differently (write parts of the script in a different order) to get it to not crash. jean-louis valero wrote: hello list In a rich text editable cast member, after about 3000 typed words, a great amount of the text suddenly disappears in the middle of the whole text.

I eventually had to edit the script differently (write parts of the script in a different order) to get it to not crash. This happens fairly frequently for me. (Usually more than once every two weeks.) What I end up doing is to turn off the syntax coloring and line numbering, make the edits, and then re-enable them and usually all will be well. But it all just makes me miss nice, fast, non-buggy editors that other tools have. - Bruce [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
