No kidding. You nailed the problem. When I use the value returned by
Fl_Preference::entries(); as the loop condition.
If comment lines are removed then everything works correctly.
Unfortunately I really need comment lines in the prefs file.
So the problem is that Fl_Preference::entries(); returns the number of
entries plus the number of comments.
I would point out that the code I supplied was to demonstrate the
problem. I was not asking why it did not work, I already know why.
1) Fl_Preference::entries(); is not fit for purpose as stated in the
docs.
2) Fl_Preference::entries(); is working correctly but the docs give
erroneous information.
One I think because if two is true then why bother with the function
in the first place.
