Hi All,

The eighth full release of StrongED 4.69 can found on the “website”:
http://www.stronged.iconbar.com/archives/releases/se469f8.zip

This release fixes a number of bugs that have been found in 4.69f7. A
couple of minor enhancements have also been backported from 4.70a8.

As always, all feedback is welcome and appreciated!

Cheers,
Fred.

Changes in StrongED 4.69f8 (from 4.69f7)

• If there were multiple views on a text and a multi-line comment is added/changed only the view with the caret was redrawn correctly. Other views would redraw the changed line but not the text below it. (Wow, this bug was already there when Guttorm left so it’s at least 16 years old and no-one has spotted it till now.)

• Ctrl-Menu click on the iconbar icon is now accepted and opens the iconbar menu. This has been added to allow the menu to be opened on RPCEmu (and Red Squirrel) using the right Alt key (Windows sends a virtual keycode for Ctrl first).

• Added support for Adjust clicks in throwback windows (so it matches LoF behaviour). An Adjust click performs the same action as a Select click but closes the throwback window afterwards.
  • Adjust: move caret to target line.
  • Ctrl-Adjust: create new view then move caret to target line.

• Clicking in the Modes menu on the TaskWindow item now creates a TaskWindow. Before it would create a new text in TaskWindow mode. Which isn’t very useful as TaskWindow mode is only designed to control which keys should be passed on to a TaskWindow.

• The MatchBracket code would try to match the bracket at the caret even when it was in a comment or string instead of ignoring it.

• The GotoBracket function (Ctrl-B) now puts up a warning when a bracket can’t be matched. This provides better feedback, especially when the option ‘Beep on error’ is off.

• Ctrl-Click in a LoF created a new view but it was the caret in the ‘old’ view that was being moved. This was because the new view wasn’t marked as being on top.

• Menus in Global/Mode Choices would cause an abort when interactive help was active. Fixed by adding some code to handle these menus and provide (basic) help messages.

• Previously the ‘Process’ menu item was shaded when no block was selected. This meant that its submenu could not be opened at all, including from the Infobar. Now the submenu items are shaded but the ‘Process’ item is not. The submenu can now be opened from the Infobar at all times (making it consistent with the Clipboard menu handling.
