Re: [ ANN ] Release 8.1.0 RC-1

I've been getting random CTD on 8.0.2 in El Capitan. I was going to revert to 8.0.1 which seemed very stable to me. I'm sorry for not researching it further. I usually run into the issue while I am using the app in a production environment and I don't have the luxury of troubleshooting inline.

Are you really banned from the Use-List? That's amazing, did you, as they suggest in that lovely film "Educating Rita", 'bugger the bursar'? As someone who has been banned twice, and, arguably, should have been banned a fair few other times, I really wonder what did that. Mark, you have just

@Mark Can you please submit a bug report, and attach the crash log(s)? We plan to do a RC2 release late next week, so if what you see is a RC1 regression we will have to fix it for RC2. PS: A sample stack/pattern/recipe would be helpful as well On Fri, Aug 26, 2016 at 10:24 PM, mwieder

Re: [ ANN ] Release 8.1.0 RC-1

Colourising the messageBox is marvellous . . . But it would be even more marvellous if one could set the font and the font size for the messageBox like one can the scriptEditor. Personally I find the teeny-weeny font size in the messageBox a bother: and I have had the font in the scriptEditor

Yes; you are quite right. I opened the scriptEditor and then the messageBox. It might not be a bad idea to put that into the documentation. Thank you, Richmond. On 25.08.2016 20:14, panagiotis merakos wrote: I think you must have opened the script editor first On 25 Aug 2016 18:11,

At the risk of sounding very stupid indeed . . . I installed 8.1.0 rc 1 and typed this into the Message Box: put 5 into AA add 1 to AA put AA and saw no colourisation at all. What did I do wrong? Xubuntu 16.04 64-bit. Richmond. On 25.08.2016 17:01, panagiotis merakos wrote: Nice to hear
