Re: Linux OAuth2 (was Browser Widget on Linux: how can it become possible to use?)

I actually found the bug report which provided the solution to the problem. You can see the PR here: https://github.com/livecode/livecode/pull/7381 Good work - thank you. I don't mean to press my luck, but do you have any insight into why the Browser widget has been broken on Linux for the last few years? Or more specifically, what it might take to fix it? Mark Wieder posted a link to a discussion on it, and while it did describe that the problem is non-trivial I have no idea if that means the Browser widget is abandoned in LC on Linux forever, or what it would take to address it. http://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=33805&p=189397&hilit=CEF#p189397 -- Richard Gaskin Fourth World Systems Software Design and Development for the Desktop, Mobile, and the Web ambassa...@fourthworld.comhttp://www.FourthWorld.com ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Browser Widget on Linux: how can it become possible to use?
The Browser widget doesn't work on Linux, and hasn't for a good many years. Possibly related, I recently discovered that the OAuth authentication window so completely hangs LiveCode that a force-reboot is required (yes, bug report forthcoming, when I have time and temperament for that sort of uniquely-frustrating recipe-finding). I have a vague memory that someone in our community had found some sort of workaround for changing the browser config so that it's possible to use LiveCode's Browser widget on Linux. If I'm remembering that correctly, what is that workaround? And for the longer term, though Linux runs most of the modern world's infrastructure I respect that they've ceded the desktop to Microsoft. Accordingly, when it comes to desktop platforms I respect that Windows deserves the lion's share of LC Ltd's time an attention. But as the LiveCode Linux engine falls ever farther out of parity from other platforms, unless we're about to declare the LC Linux engine abandoned maybe we could bring some of that functionality back. The Browser might be a good place to start.
