PB64 IDE 5.7b1 Autocomplete window in the wrong place
Re: PB64 IDE 5.7b1 Autocomplete window in the wrong place
No problem here.

Perhaps renew your PureBasic.pref file

Re: PB64 IDE 5.7b1 Autocomplete window in the wrong place
Hi mk-soft!
So the question is, which entry in the used prefs has to be
changed to get auto complete postion working.
The only difference in [AutoComplete] part of prefs is:
Which else entries have to be changed to get a working auto complete
with the old prefs file? I want to preserve all other settings.
That works, but all changes in in preferences are gone.mk-soft wrote:...

my old prefs wrote:Width =150
Height = 200
Changing these entries doesn't have any effect.new (working) prefs wrote:Width =230
Height = 300

Export the settings from the defective pref-file, then import them into your new pref-file.

This didn't work.mk-soft wrote:Export the settings from the defective pref-file, then import them into your new pref-file.
Autocomplete-dropdown is on the right place now, but all other
settings are gone (language, theme, tools panel, folding, selected font, ...).
Until now I always copied *.prefs from previous versions of PB into the new
program folder. There was never a problem with this procedure.

There is the item export under settings.
First export the settings from the defective pref file.
Then remove the defective file and let Purebaic create a new one.
Then import the settings again.
Not all settings can be exported.
If it doesn't work like this, the file was already too badly damaged.

Re: PB64 IDE 5.7b1 Autocomplete window in the wrong place
I just tested this:
I copied the "defective" prefs file from PB5.70LTS(x64) to PB5.62(x64).
Result: Autocomplete dropdown is showing up in PB5.70 just under the
actual line as it should.
The only difference in the prefs after closing PB is an extra entry
"DPIAware = 0" (and of course the version number).
What does this tell me?

This can only analyze Fred with the unchanged file.
It can also be that the invisible characters or control characters have crept in.
Just try to copy the contents of the file into a new one to keep all settings.

In PB5.70LTS such prefs file shows autocomplete far right, prior to PB5.70 this same
prefs file works flawlessly.
It looks like - in my opinion - that since 5.70 something went wrong. As you remember,
the beta versions started with problems with autocomplete dropdown.

Could you post your faulty pref file somwhere so I can take a look ?
