Samir

ruby
I cannot reproduce the Combobox item bug you are describing.
Can you give me more info on this one ? What language are you using ? Do you use chinese/japanese/korean strings ?

Thank you for your feedback Ruby

ruby

sometimes it crash very often.

for example, at sample widgets.wlua, select Edit, then in the edit box, select all text,ctrl a or mouse drag, then ctrl X to cut , then it crash and disppear

Samir

ruby
I can reproduce the edit box ctrl X crash.
I will investigate more this one. Thank you again

ruby

it's Microsoft Windows [ver 10.0.19042.508]

though it's a Chinese OS, there's no chinese/japanese/korean strings in the test code, but always get first 2 letters ( displayed in the box). it's ok in item.text property)

local ui = require "ui"
local win = ui.Window("test list")
local combobox = ui.Combobox(win, {"Button", "Label", "Entry", "Picture", "Edit", "Checkbox", "Radiobutton", "Groupbox", "Calendar", "List", "Combobox", "Tab"})

win:show()

repeat
    ui.update()
until not win.visible

Samir

Thank you for the precisions.
I cannot reproduce the bug, even with the sample you provided.

Two possibilities :

It may be related to the Combobox.text property bug reported, that is now fixed but will be available in next release.
It may be related to IME, that is certainly activated by default on Windows Chinese version, I have to dig more into it

Samir

Update :

Various GUI crashes fixed (like the one reported by Ruby with CTRL+X in Edit control)
Still investigating on Combobox behavior (related to Chinese Windows version ?)

ruby

hi I upgrated to Windows 11 and now the combox doen't truncate selectd item any more.

Samir

Thank you Ruby for your feedback.
It might be related to known bugs in Window 10 and IME.

ruby

hi, tried some more windows:
windows server 2022 , truncated

and on vmware:
windows 7 , ok
windows 10, not work (ui flash and disappear)
windows server 2008 , ok
windows server 2019 , not work (ui flash and disappear)

Samir

Hi Ruby,

Many thanks for your valuable feedback !
I have tested LuaRT on some Windows VM too (Vista, Seven and Windows 10).

When you say "ui flash and disappear", are you talking about LuaRT installer or any Lua script that uses the ui module ?

ruby

hi, I mean ny Lua script that uses the ui module .

and at win7, though it worked when I extract it and run script with luart.exe,
the installer luart-0.9.5.exe does not work.

it reported this error at the end of installation:

Runtime error

["install.wlua"]:46: attempt to concatenate a nil value (local 'user_path')

ok

at win11 the installer works without any problem

support latest windows is almost enough.
win7 is kind of too old.

Samir

I agree with you with Win7 being too old, and that LuaRT should focus on Win10/Win11 compatibility, but I need more feedback on that point.

The runtime error is a known reported bug that is fixed now for the next release

Samir

Updated with Tab.selected and Tab:remove() bugs, fixed in next release
