Ugly Bug - Livecode 7.0 dp7

[jeffe]

Hi All,

Please be aware that there is a bug in "LiveCode 7.0 dp7"
The code used is...
Set the Statusiconmenu to "Show" & Return & "Exit"

There is no new line between the "Show" & "Exit"
The "Return" does NOT work in the windows tray - not sure why?

It should look like this...

Show
Exit

Hi all,

I also noticed that when compiling an exe (Windows) with Livecode 6.5.2 the size of a one button
livecode application is 2.78MB. When compiling with Livecode 6.7 dp7 it is a whopping 9.08MB.

Is this going to be standard or is something wrong?

It's 3.1 MB when compiling with LC 6.6.2

Hi Jeffe,

9MB is out of this world !!!

Yes, I agree and maybe it would be good to submit this point as a bug as well? Hard to believe that it's all OK.
I'm not using any DP versions - they are only meant to test and debug as I understand.

LiveCode 6.7 or 7.0?

In LiveCode 7 there is a significant increase in size due to the unicode data added in LiveCode 7. This has been discussed publicly by the devs, and they are hoping to find ways to make it smaller in future versions.

I have now reported the Windows tray bug

I think I might try the 6.7 - Really NOT happy with the size of the compiled exe (Windows) in 7.0
9MB before I even add and buttons, scripts or objects is just too big.
