I would guess it's some kind of bug or unanticipated interaction with the text display widget. It's something we would have to investigate.What am I doing wrong ?
Hi hippy,I would guess it's some kind of bug or unanticipated interaction with the text display widget. It's something we would have to investigate.
No and I wouldn't hold your breath; creating a VT100 emulator or similar, or even simpler, is something of an undertaking.s there any confirmation that this is being investigated ?. I could really do with it working.
And then we pull the chain...All feature requests/bugs are logged on our ticket system.
Hear, hear!Are Rev-Ed looking into this backspace bug ?
The manual says backspace should work, but it doesn't.
Buzby,It's been over a year since I pointed out this incorrect behavior of PE, and still no fix for it.
I would not have thought that. If they were language related I would expect to either see more of them, or see 'foreign' words in there somewhere.Perhaps the "Foreign" just means non-Engllish?
Almost certainly. Looking through the executable for occurrences of "Foreign"...Perhaps the "Foreign" just means non-Engllish?
Foreign_Quick_Syntax
Foreign_Serial_Terminal
Foreign_Simulation
Foreign
Foreign_TranslateFormControls
Get_Foreign_Serial_Terminal
Foreign_TranslateDockingManager
Foreign_Dictionary
The third party terminal shouldn't be hard but you won't know for certain until you see the code. Not every snippet of code is functionally correct, logical, readable and easily modified. Been there; had to fix that :-(
Will this bug ever get fixed ?This thread started when I reported a bug in the existing terminal system, a bug which has still not been fixed over two years later !.
I seem to be talking to myself here !Will this bug ever get fixed ?
I'm not compaining about the lack of PE7, it's the simple fault in PE6 that's irking me.... That's why the PE6 developer is currently hanging by his reproductive organs at Unit2, Foxcote avenue, until he has finished PE7 with support for ESP Basic.
I've been similarly frustrated by the lack of responsiveness from Rev-Ed in maintaining their software stack, especially on non-windows platforms, which are much more limited and infrequently updated than even PE6 is. See the discussion here for a chronicle of my and many other's complaints for years for the lack of updates to support 64 bit (intel) MacOS and Apple Silicon (ARM) MacOS. In that thread are links to some command line utilities we've developed in free over the years to help supplement the missing features from the non-PE6 development tools.I seem to be talking to myself here !
I'm losing faith in Rev-Ed.
Why is such a simple bug being ignored for years ?.
So it seems they've finally dealt with this bug, but perhaps not in the most ideal way (removing the feature, rather than correcting broken functionality).00658 Removed non-functioning 0x08 option from Terminal
Ha ha !.... So it seems they've finally dealt with this bug, but perhaps not in the most ideal way (removing the feature, rather than correcting broken functionality).
I don't want to use an online cloud based system, I want to use PE6. ( Also, the webserial.io API won't run on Firefox, so it tells me when I try. )... There are also quite literally dozens of free third party terminal applications available, we quite like https://webserial.io/ (as used within the online Blocky / code editor at https://picaxecloud.com).
