Horizontal scroll of rightAligned text faulty?

Hi -hh,

Livecode has problems with right align in certain situations e.g. tab fields with vGrid set to true and apparently as you found out with list fields also.

Usually in a left to right language I would assume that list fields are left aligned.

But here you go: a widget (hack) for a right aligned list field. Please note the properties of the objects and the scripts.

Odd.

Of greater concern to me is that with a field right aligned, it is not possible to shift text that extends beyond the limits of the field by setting the cursor and dragging. In other words, if one has overwide text in a field with "dontWrap" set to "true, with left align you can set the cursor somewhere in the middle of the field, and then click-drag to either side, and any hidden text will be "shifted" into view. This is not possible with right align.

Hi HH

I wholeheartedly agree that LC needs a way to display columnar data with a mix of alignments.
That was what I alluded to with tabbed data.

However I meant list field in the LC sense.
A list where you click on a line and some action takes place.

Kind regards
