RE: QB64 Phoenix Edition v3.12.0 Released! - Pete - 03-03-2024

Anyone have a handle on what is messing up the ASCII display? In SCREEN 0, solid lines are dashed lines and ASCII characters like 254 do not display properly. I also noted the font irregularities previously mentioned, but in the created exe projects, not just the IDE. Something is certainly off in this release.

Greetings from Finland! :-)

I am also reporting a problem with displaying the text in the latest version!

I Hope this image and code clarify the matter:

END SUB


Without "SCREEN 12", the text is displayed normally. 

Although v.3.12 is a bit unclear all the time.

What I'm more curious about at the moment, however, is how the heck did you generate two different size images?



I'd imagine you just used _SaveImage to generate those two images.  Am I right?

If so, why the heck is one 779 pixels tall while the other is 780?
I use two monitors. I had each version of QB64PE opened on each. I then took a screen shot and used an image editing program to cut the desired areas out. I just got lucky that the images were that close in size.

RE: QB64 Phoenix Edition v3.12.0 Released! - Kernelpanic - 03-03-2024

@MaSaCoder - This is simply due to the size of the output window.

I just had something strange happen. Code that was running normally for me suddenly started crashing. Loading different code in did the same thing. According to Task Manager the QB64PE IDE (v 3.12.0) was using over 256MB of RAM while sitting idle. Closing and then reopening the IDE corrected the issues with the IDE using around 86MB which is what I would expect.

I normally leave the IDE running for days (heck sometimes weeks) at a time and have never run into this before.

I'm watching the RAM usage right now for the IDE continuing to climb after the restart (which is normal). It seems to have settled down now at 87,084K.

I'll keep mindful of what I'm doing if the issue happens again to help give some clue as to why this would have happened?

Has anyone else seen high RAM usage coming from their IDE?

Terry are you still using Windows 7 or into Linux now?

RE: QB64 Phoenix Edition v3.12.0 Released! - Pete - 03-11-2024

I'm pretty sure Terry is still running Windows 3.1 on a laboratory squirrel. The poor little critter probably spun clean out of its wheel.

@Terry - the system is running full, so to speak. I only know something like this from Linux freaks who wanted to show how great their system is.
Shut down the system at the end of each day, full: C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe /s /t 0

And if problems still persist afterward, you have gotten yourself into trouble.

Yeah Terry, give the squirrel a break! Even Windows 3.1 booted up faster then than Windows 11 boots up now... and that was on a 486!

@Pete You're gettold and need to take your memory-enhancing drugs again.  Win 3.1 would *NEVER* boot up; it wasn't an OS.  It ran under DOS.
