After a couple of years absence I have started coding with PB again.
I have the latest version of PB (5.71 LTS(x64)) installed on Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon.
Running checkinstall.sh reports everything is correct.
Everything with PB seems to work fine except when I try to access the IDE help I get something that looks like this.
It looks like some kind of index but no other text will appear when I click on any of the entries.
I have spent some time searching the forum for a solution but I didn't find anything about this problem.
Some older versions of PB that I also have installed (5.70 and 5.61) also have the same problem with IDE help.
I think the problem started when I switched from Linux Ubuntu to Linux Mint.
My guess is the problem is with my Linux installation and not with PureBasic itself.
Can anyone give me a clue as to what I might need to do to fix this problem?
Thanks, BasicallyPure

Until you know everything you know nothing, all you have is what you believe.

Re: PB IDE help not working with Linux Mint
I think you need to grab that splitter handle on the right side. IIRC there was a fix somewhere on the forum to reset the splitter, either in the PB prefs file or the help file or wherever it was.
Re: PB IDE help not working with Linux Mint
in the PB prefs file, in section [Help]
Code: Select all
[Help]
...
Width = 1680
...
Splitter = 402

Yessss!!!!
It was just that easy. When I read your reply I thought; 'what handle are you talking about?'
When I moved the mouse over the right side of the help window,
the mouse cursor changed and I could drag the splitter to the left.
Thanks so much.
I'll check out the tip you gave.
