T tried several numbers and letters. No change in effect. I used a short script from WIKI Guides/J8 Standalone. I made a few minor changes. It follows:
(;:'wdbase z') copath 'base' GETURL=: 0 : 0 pc geturl escclose dialog ;pn "Retrieve URL"; bin vh; minwh 40 22;cc urlsrc static right;cn "URL"; minwh 400 24;cc src edit; set src text http://; bin z; bin h s ; cc ok button;cn "&OK"; cc cancel button;cn "&Cancel"; pcenter; ) test=: 3 : 0 wd GETURL wd'pshow' ) geturl_cancel_button=: 3 : 0 wd 'pclose' ) test '' I made the form to allow resizing to better see the actions. Added a cancel to make it easy to get rid of. Should have been able to use ESC but for some reason it didn't work. I had to change the "wh" to "minwh" as I got "wh : command not found: wd". I tried the form in both W7 and UBUNTU. Got same error. Guides/JqtChildClasses lists both "wh" and "minwh" as valid. In both W8 and UBUNTU if I had the "s" on the last bin the two buttons tracked with the right side of the form and their size remained constant as I resized the form. The size of the edit token stretched horizontally with the form size. On W8 the form size would not resize smaller than the minimum size of the edit token. But on UBUNTU the form size continued to shrink and the right side of the edit token was cut off. I could even shrink it vertically until the tokens were almost invisible. I tried all sorts of number and letters which should be invalid and no change in the way the form worked. Even tried a question mark. Never an error. If the "s" was there the buttons moved to the right with the form and their size was unchanged. If it was gone the buttons stretched horizontally to fill the width of the form and shrank and stretched horizontally as the size of the form changed. >From the About box.
