Thanks for the improvements !

Alpha testing :

HScroll bar : i see no change

UDT : I have a simple code that worked with previous beta. It doesn't work any more. Can share.

SWICH : Fix confirmed (fast test)

Code completion : still appears while typing comment. Code tip too. Or is it something else ?

Null char at end of script : looks ok

RAWTEXT :

uses "CONSOLE"

dim myStr as String




' this is NEAR OK :                 thinAir code coloring is inadequat
myStr = RawText
7 CHARS
END RawText

PrintL len(myStr) ' 7 chars = OK


' this is not OK
myStr = RAWTEXT
"this is a sign: ' , and this is another sign: " "
END RAWTEXT

PrintL myStr

waitkey

ok, I just remembered you set the second part as a new issue.

first part was reported as issue #599

I did few tests on my PC:
- horizontal scroll bars behave differently, but still not 100% correct
- BEFORE - there was intense flicker
- NOW - IF I move it fast, it works okay to move between start and end of line, if I move it slow, it sometimes does nothing at all

- user tools menu now handles up to 20 tools in total (up to 17 from thinAir_Tools_Usr.ini)
- user tools respect the thinAir_Tools_Usr.ini, excellent!

DirectuX, I see no code completion in comments on my PC

The scoll bar still doesn't allow to scroll to the end of the right. It stops before. Then to go further , the arrow must be clicked. Then, coming back to the left is stopped before the start of the screen. Again , arrow is required to show the beginning.

It behaves as if the scroll bar wasn't aware of the text width, but the arrows was.

Remark : in thinAir nPage seems to never change whatever the larger of the script. (see nPage on this picture)

Scintilla Edit control uses a default 2000 column width: https://www.scintilla.org/ScintillaD...SETSCROLLWIDTH

As a work around I've added an option in theme file in order to improve width.
Change it into Default.theme.xml to a value like 6000 like the following

<item name = "scroll.width">6000</item> <!-- max hor scrollbar width. 0 to use default -->

Maybe I will find a clever way to adjust based on current script max width.

[DirectuX]

can't we just enable SCI_SETSCROLLWIDTHTRACKING ?

<item name = "scroll.width">6000</item> <!-- max hor scrollbar width. 0 to use default -->

This works as expected ! Thanks Eros
