Scrollbars in scripts

Hi Friedrich,

I'm noticing something in 1953 that I don't recall seeing in 1911.
When I scroll down to say line 60 in my main script, then click on one
of my included script tabs, that is NOT longe enough to create a
scrollbar, do something there and come back to the main script, the
scrollbar on the right is at the TOP, indicating that it's at the top
of the file, even though the highlightbar is on line 60. Hit the
scroll up arrow and the scrollbar is repainted correctly.

If the include script is long enough to create a scrollbar, then the
one in the main script is ok when I return. It's like the scrollbar
position on each tab is not saved for the scrollbar to repaint itself
properly when the tab becomes active again.

It's confusing and prone to cause increased heartrate and
bloodpressure when you see half your script appears to be GONE!<g>

Hi Arnór,

Nothing changed here from 1911 to 1953, so I am sure this will also happen
in 1911 (and all previous builds).

I'll try to reproduce this here...

Thanks,
Friedrich

It happens every time here in 1953. To duplicate:

1. Open a script that is more than a screenfull.
2. Create and include a new script with just the standard script
header
3. Include the script created in 2 in the main script.
4. Go back to the main script and scroll down so that the top is not
on line 1.
5. Tab to the new script and then back.

The scrollbar is now at the top. You can not use the mouse wheel to
scroll any furhter up, you must click on the up arrow above the
scrollbar to get it refreshed.

Hi Arnór,

Thank you! Item in review.

Hi Friedrich,

>Thank you! Item in review.

I'm also seeing something strange with the tabs. It's like sometimes,
when I click on the tab that is to the left of the current tab, that
the contents is not refreshed. I have to click on the next tab to the
left and then back to the right. I.e.


[Main] [Common def] [Detect. Clarion ver] [CheckPaths] [SaveToReg]

If I click on the last one, [SaveToReg] then click on [CheckPaths] it
is still showing the script for [SaveToReg] Then what I have to do is
go to [Detect Clarion Versions] and then to [CheckPaths] and it
updates.

This only seems to happen if I've been making changes. It is usually
just one tab that doesn't redraw, but it's always the same tab. If I
close the project and re-open it, it's fine. Then after a few
changes, compiles etc. the second tab from right stops updating.
