2 problems noted

[hsmyers]

I don't know how easy this will be to duplicate, but I've had to deal with two problems in the editor.



1. use ALT-2 to place cursor in REPL window, then

2. a simple click back in editor window flips the changed status.

3. next, after a save and a switch to the REPL window, hitting return results in:

I don't think that is correct? Perhaps the save message is being evaluated?

Yes, it was evaluating the text on the line under the cursor. When switching windows with Alt-1/2 (or Command 1/2 on Mac OS X). The cursor positions itself wherever it has been before.



In the next version there will be a semicolon prepended to all messages in the monitor area. That will inhibit evaluation, taking them as comments. What I always do, is hit Ctrl-M to clear the monitor area after messages, or position the cursor with the mouse after the text output.

This can also happen after executing code that uses println...



Any ideas about the change after clicking in the editor (dirty bit flip)?



--hsm

p.s. I'd wondered what the keystroke(s) for clear screen were, thanks!

Improvement on several fronts; save state seems fixed and the save statement shows up with a semi-colon. That said, some problems remain. Edited buffer work flow:

Code Select Expand


newLISP v.9.3.11 on Win32 IPv4, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.

Code Select Expand


(lambda (n) (zero? (% n 2)))
(lambda (n) (not (even? n)))
(lambda (n) (+ (/ n 2) (% n 2)))
true

Then:



1. make a change (bogus change state seems fixed...) and save

2. ALT-2

3. return



Results in:

So un-authorized buffer eval-ing seems to remain.

this one always puts the cursor at the end of the buffer:

[hsmyers]

Excellent! Not only looks better(at least to my compulsively neat-freak eyes) but works as well!!
