why am I seeing the spaces? - James D Jarvis - 09-21-2023
Why am I seeing the colored spaces in this program? Shouldn't _printmode _keepbackground be prohibiting this?
![[Image: image.png]](https://i.ibb.co/PwQKMzZ/image.png)
Code: (Select All)
Screen _NewImage(512, 384, 32)
rootpath$ = Environ$("SYSTEMROOT") 'normally "C:\WINDOWS"
fontfile$ = rootpath$ + "\Fonts\comic.ttf" 'TTF file in Windows
style$ = "" 'font style is not case sensitive
f& = _LoadFont(fontfile$, 16, style$)
_Font f&
Line (1, 1)-(510, 382), _RGB32(50, 50, 50), BF
_PrintMode _KeepBackground
Color _RGB32(255, 255, 255), _RGB32(170, 70, 70)
Do
Input txt$
Print _PrintWidth(txt$), txt$
Loop Until txt$ = "END"RE: why am I seeing the spaces? - SMcNeill - 09-21-2023
Looks to me like it's a glitch in _PRINTMODE which isn't keeping the background with the Comma spacing.
Try this instead:
Code: (Select All)
Screen _NewImage(512, 384, 32)
rootpath$ = Environ$("SYSTEMROOT") 'normally "C:\WINDOWS"
fontfile$ = rootpath$ + "\Fonts\comic.ttf" 'TTF file in Windows
style$ = "" 'font style is not case sensitive
f& = _LoadFont(fontfile$, 16, style$)
_Font f&
Line (1, 1)-(510, 382), _RGB32(50, 50, 50), BF
'_PrintMode _KeepBackground
Color _RGB32(255, 255, 255), 0
Do
Input txt$
Print _PrintWidth(txt$), txt$
Loop Until txt$ = "END"RE: why am I seeing the spaces? - bplus - 09-21-2023
It's not printing when it tabs to column for the comma so the red background is coming up?
Definitely a weird glitch. Tab() works and I bet _PrintString will too.

We're digging into it. At the moment, it appears that TAB() doesn't honor _KEEPBACKGROUND at all. At first glance, this looks like a simple issue to patch quickly and without any major headache.

Ha I just tested tab() do you mean comma?

Comma *is* tab().
TAB is func_tab().
Two different beasts in the c-side of things. It's the tab() in libqb.cpp that's glitching, not func_tab().

Looks like the fix for this is all worked up and is just waiting for review and approval. It should be in the repo by the weekend at the latest, I'd imagine.

@James D Jarvis great find!
The whole screen is cleared to black before `INPUT`. I tried this on Linux. Put in `CLS` just after `_NEWIMAGE` to clear the screen to the red color, then `_PRINTMODE` line. I didn't have "Comic" font available so I used "DejaVuSans" normal in its place. But it should make no difference with any TTF font.

We try. Not all things are as quick and easy to fix, but when you guys point stuff out to us, we do try to look into it ASAP.
