As the title says, the "PureBasic Updates" window width is 11x the desktop wIdth...
The text:

Code: Select all

A new version of PureBasic is available for download on
                 your personal account

                    PureBasic 6.11
is centered to the window (together with the button), and the links:

Code: Select all

Visit the download site
Change settings
are located bottom left.

A bug that has been reported several times. It has existed for several years. Unfortunately, it has not yet been fixed.

Sorry, didn't search in the forum before posting.
(didn't use PB in a while...)

Not sure why, but I thought the reason LTS exists is to maybe have less new futures than the "normal" branch, but at the same time having less or no known bugs.

Apparently I was wrong.

Well, it's a pretty condescending comment, may be you missed the part about the 6.0x LTS releases where we fixed hundreds of bugs without adding new features ? Such comments are not helping and annoying to say the least.

Sorry Fred if you find my comment condescending, it was not meant to offend you or anyone else working on PB.
What I wrote is my "naive" understanding of LTS.

BTW: I saw that many, many bugs have been squashed during 6.0x LTS release, which is very nice.

Also, if there are already bug reports about this bug, you could delete this thread altogether.
Would have no issues whatsoever if you do.

Peace.

It is impossible to made a screenshot of this large update window. This produces a Mac OS error message, that the area of screenshot is too big...
