#LEGS & FW
2 messages in this thread
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:

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.
