I have a problem when running Final Writer on an LEGSx.screen. In FinalWriter Softwood implemented a new type of Cycle Gadget. When you click on it all available selections pop up and when you choose a new selection, the pop up menu disappears. Now, these gadgets don't work correct when I run FinalWriter on an LEGSx.screen. When you click on the gadget, only the first (actual) selection appears. To see all possibilities you have to move the mouse up and down still pressing the left mouse button. When you made your choice and release the mouse button, the background which was covered by the pop up menu won't be correctli refreshed. A second problem I also had with FinalCopy: When you drag and drop the tabulators and the signs of the left/right margin, you normally see how you drag the signs and where you drop them. On the LEGSx.screen as soon as you click on the signs they become invisible and it's rather difficult to position them correctly. Since everything works fine on a regular Workbench Screen (whatever mode). I am not shure if it is a FW or a EGS Problem. I run the EGS-Software on a GVP Spectrum 24/28 Card with 2 MB of RAM. The following List I produced with EGS-Info: EGS Info Product: EGS-General Manufacturer: Viona-Development Gfx Unit: Version: 6.000 Max.

Mr. Gasser, Have you contacted Softwood regarding this problem? We do not have a copy of Final Writer in house, so we cannot test it. Their other software has worked, and it seems that FW does also except for that requester. If Software does not know of a solution, have their programmers contact GVP's Product Management so that a solution can be found. Pete
