Windows 10 script editor problem
Hi all, I have a student who is trying to run 8.1.0DP1 on her Windows 10 laptop. It installs and launches, and she can open a stack, but when she tries to open a script editor window, it does not appear. There is a tab for it on the task bar, but clicking on the tab doesn’t bring up the editor window. It’s almost like it’s invisible or off screen somewhere. I tried showing IDE windows in the View menu, and I can see it in the Project Manager list, but again, it won’t appear on the screen. Setting the visibility to true doesn’t help, neither does setting the loc to somewhere on screen. Has anybody run into this with LC 8? Maybe there’s something about Windows 10 I don’t get, like some sort of virtual desktop, “Spaces” thing. Any ideas appreciated.

Re: Windows 10 script editor problem
Did you try checking the editor window's location or topLeft and verifying that it's within the screenRect?

Re: Windows 10 script editor problem
Didn’t do that specifically, but it seemed like the resolution was set to an acceptable size. What we finally ended up doing that worked was to have her create a new user account and reopen livecode. Script editor window shows up normally in the new account. So… weird Win 10 setting or corrupted prefs file?

Re: Windows 10 script editor problem
I wasn't thinking resolution, but some surprise, like ten monitors or a super huge monitor. Maybe there was something weird in your remote desktop settings that was cleared in the new account.

AW: Windows 10 script editor problem
Might be something different, but I have for a long time over all last versions randomly odd IDE window behavior on Windows. Often there is a window, sometimes the script editor, sometime a stack of mine, where the window keeps minimized in the task bar and only can be opend by right klicking on the task bar icon and choose "maximize".

RE: Windows 10 script editor problem
I have had this once before, drove me nuts for a while! Load stack normally and trigger code editor, If you then hover your mouse over the Livecode icon on the taskbar, a few smaller windows will appear, one of which will be the code editor. Right mouse click on that window and select maximize - This should then display code editor full screen, allowing you to resize accordingly. Since performing that trick, I haven't had the issue again.

RE: Windows 10 script editor problem
I had a similar problem but with the Stack Properties window. I filed a bug report and the answer that I received was to delete the preferences file since it looked like some type of corruption in the file. That suggestion from tech support worked.

Load stack normally and trigger code editor, If you then hover your mouse over the Livecode icon on the taskbar, a few smaller windows will appear, one of which will be the code editor. Right mouse click on that window and select maximize - This should then display code editor full screen, allowing you to resize accordingly. Since performing that trick, I haven't had the issue again.

The LC stack file format is robust. What exactly is the IDE doing that makes its prefs file so pervasively brittle? -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Re: Windows 10 script editor problem
Disappearing property inspector and script editor windows happen often here in latest desktop versions of LC 6/7 on all three, Mac/Win/Linux. I had then always a lot of windows open or too many (closed) stacks in memory. That's why I cannot fix a situation for a bug report. == The hidden property inspector requires regularly a restart of LC (purging RAM requires more time). == The hidden script editor window is here *ALWAYS* available in LC-menu "Window" and comes back to front if selected. I prefer such a 'passive' behaviour to an 'aggressive' top-layering of the editor (which I saw in some other development environments). -- View this message in context: http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/Windows-10-script-editor-problem-tp4705855p4705876.html Sent from the Revolution - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Re: Windows 10 script editor problem
HI Folks I've done some work on preferences recently and there are a number of issues but I think the core of it is preferences are currently undocumented. I've started and we will document more as we touch each preference. If anyone from the community is interested to contribute to that effort it would be a great help. The next issue is in many cases there are still older that scripts get and set custom properties directly on the revPreferences stack rather than go via the revIDEGetPreference and revIDESetPreference. This makes it difficult for us to switch to a non-stackFile based data store. Only recently did we notice there was a setProp handler on the revPreferences stack that was interfering with the menu! Again if anyone wants to contribute to changing preference getters and setters to use the API they are more than welcome. Regarding IDE stacks not being where they are meant to be I have done some work on this recently with a focus on multiple screen issues. Many IDE stacks were using the screenRect and the screenLoc rather than line (the screen of this stack) of the working screenRects. If anyone wants to see and comment on my changes and suggest others here is my proposed patch. https://github.com/livecode/livecode-ide/pull/1238 There are still issues with: - saving stack rects in preferences in combination with multiple screens where if you have a few different common screen arrangements (for me either just my laptop as main screen or my 27 inch monitor as main screen and my laptop and another monitor on each side) the IDE should remember where you want things for that screen arrangement. - saving screen rects while a stack is in a maximized/Mac fullscreen state rather than saving the state. This requires some support at engine level for control and awareness of the maximized state of a window. Dealing with fullscreen state on Mac is rather high priority now that 10.11 has defaulted toplevel windows to have the fullscreen rather than zoom button.
