LiveCode BUG printing fields

[paulclaude]

With LiveCode 7.0.1, Mac OS X Yosemite, (I don't know if it's the same in previous versions), you can't print correctly a long field, both using revPrintField of revPrintText, or also using "Print Field" from the IDE's menu.

The last page always duplicate several lines from the previous page, and crop the first line.

The following is only an example. The list is correct and in alphabetical order in the original field, but in the resulting PDF appears corrupted.



I've made many tests with many lists, printing with and without formatting, but the result is the same.

Someone else knows this problem?

cant say much about your specific problem, think about attaching your stack...
i sometimes have problems with fields where the begin of the field is cut off (not whole line)

to me it seems as your problem could be the margins?

[paulclaude]

No problem with margins, it's a real bug.

I've made a simple stack only with a "long" field and a button to print it. Voilà, the error appears.
This is the code of the button:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   open printing to pdf  specialFolderPath("desktop") & "/test.pdf"
   revprinttext fld "Tabella"
   close printing
end mouseUp

Very simple. You can use, as I said before, revPrintField or "Print field" of the IDE menu, with the same result.
This is the stack:

Hi Paul,

yes, same here!
The lines from -> "VOLGA-DNEPR AIRLINES VI RUSSIA" to "WINGS AIR 1W INDONESIA" are doubled!?
Please consider to report this bug with your example stack: http://quality.runrev.com

Thanks!

Hi Klaus, I've reported the bug http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=14519

I wonder if someone can suggest a temporary workaround, as I must deliver an application to a customer very soon....

Paul,

I just tried with 007.0.2.rc.2 and it works fine on my Mavericks Mac.

HTH,

Thierry

Hi Thierry, that's true! It's my fault beacause I don't use to download RC versions.

I will close the reported bug...

Thanks

Paul

Oh, sorry, looks like I missed RC2 somehow...
