Hi All,

Using the browser widget for a help system (the help can be updated in the database and synced when the App starts).

On The Mac and IOS there is no problem we just use set the htmltext of the widget and then show the widget.

On windows for some reason the htmltext shows for a split second then the widget goes blank.

A temporary?? fix is to set the URL of the widget to a working URL (a blank page is best) WAIT for a second then set the htmltext and show the widget.

If I wait for .2 or .3 of a second the htmltext shows then vanishes and I see the URL. .5 seconds works most of the time so I set the wait to 1 second to be on the safe side.

This is course has to be temporary as if the internet is not accessible then the htmltext vanishes to be replace by a blank page.

Just to be clear we have local tables with the help text so this has nothing to do with internet access.

Is this a regression or has it always been this way on windows?

Kindest Regards Lagi

p.s I will be posting a link to this on the list

Do you use LC 9.5.1 on Win 10?
Then you could try 9.0.5 or 9.6.0-dp.

Hi Hermann,


Sorry I forgot to mention I am using 9.5.1 (stable!!) on Win 10 yes.

I will get onto 9.6 forthwith

Somehow I knew you wouldn't let me down

Thanks again Hermann

UPDATE: As per Hermann's suggestion above, I installed 9.6 DP2 and it fixed the problem. - Thanks again Hermann.

Lagi,

currently I have no windows machine available.
Could you please make a bug report on this issue with a small sample stack?

There's no need for a report as it is this https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22279 - which was fixed (as observed) in 9.6-dp-2.
