Thank you FRED, and thank you very much SAINT PAUL, whoever you are, you are a blessed person. <3

@Fred :
It would be nice if, contrary to what you usually do, you'd release an immediate quick fix for the autoCompletion misplaced popup that still remains in the 5.70 beta 2.
That particular annoyance really gets in the way of using the IDE, which makes one want NOT to use the beta , which is very likely not your objective in releasing beta versions

[Little John]

Blue, I completely agree with you!

[Justin]

i agree, i have not used this beta since it was released due to this.

[Fred]

I will take a closer look

Same here. It makes it too annoying to test at the moment. Sorry, Fred.

BTW, it's good to see that sponsoring is having a positive effect.

This is great - Thank you Fred!

Also saw the "sponsored by" in release notes. Thank you to the sponsors and to Fred and team for accepting that.

Would be great if we could have requested feature lists and pledges/contributions to help in making those features a reality - sort of like our own Kickstarter

very impressed by PureBasic team's focus and dedication through the years.

Someone should sponsor the PB team a 4K monitor

At the current state, the IDE should not be compiled with the DPI flag.

I will take a closer look

Thank you, Fred, for the extra effort and time.
Much appreciated.

Just got the fix (see Fred's message just below[/i])
Works perfectly on Windows 10, dispaly 1920x1080, DPI 125%.
Wonderful !
Also discovered that the Traveling Debug Output window feature ( ) has been nailed in place, thank goodness !
Is it Christmas already ?

That has to be the quickest PB fix ever !
Again, many thanks, Santa Fred

[Fred]

A new version has been pushed with DPI aware fixes for Windows, don't hesitate to test to tell if it's working for you !

[Justin]

Now the popup appears way below

[Little John]

Here, the new version works as expected (Windows 10, resolution 1920x1080, DPI 125%).

Thanks for the update. Qt on Linux is working much better.

The autocomplete popup works as expected on macOS High Sierra.

[skywalk]

Pb 57b2x64 now works fine on Windows 10 Pro (10.0.17134), and on 2 different DPI's.
2560x1440, 175%
1920x1080, 100%

It now also seems to work well when switching between singel and mult-monitors.
