Title: loosing background bitmap
Post by: PeterF on March 10, 2010, 06:34:34 AM

I'm loosing the background bitmap, as I edit the Program/Run screen. The screen editor version is Mach3Screen 2.7e, the screen set was 1024.set. Editing was on the buttons but it seems not related to what I want to edit. On a simple Open../Save As.. the effect happens.

(It seems the bitmap is lost on opening, as it does not even display. I can then place the bitmap again and it saves it.) (Is that perhaps related to the fact that the bitmap MillBitmaps/BackgroundMain.jpg is 967x725 pixels, but the location is (2,4), size is (1024x725), means scaling and slightly offscreen). (I do not loose the background bitmap when trying to edit with MachScreen V1.39c)

 What can be done to avoid this behaviour? or is that known?

Thanks for thoughts.
Peter

I'm going to use Screen4 as a screen editor. This resolves the issue.
