No problem. I saw what you did with the RISC OS version so I figured the fix 
would be the same. :)

Yes, no problem.

I'm having some problems accessing this email account from home, so whilst I'm 
struggling typing on my phone, can you kick off a rebuild of the ppc-amiga 
toolchain please? I added some includes I now need for the version in master.

Thanks
Chris

Apologies for this Chris. I have been making some core changes
improving the font layout API and messed up converting some
frontends. I fixed the others but you got to Amiga before I had
chance. Thanks for that

I have also recently changed the warn_user API. The core have very,
very few usages of this left and mostly returns nserror from API
letting the frontends report errors as they see fit. However this
means frontends now provide the warning API through the miscellaneous
operations table. Frontend code that should generate user warnings
(amiga_warn_user for the amiga frontend) should be called directly

To avoid breakage I kept the old warn_user() API in utils/utils.[ch]
while I carefully remove usages. Rather than risk me breaking your
frontend again might it be possible for you to remove the use of this
API?

Drag and drop does still work - it's just that you now cannot see what you
are dragging!

Marking text isn't working correctly on the Amiga version either.  Put
it on the bugtracker if you haven't already.
