There are (at least) three things I never use in the rev IDE: the menu builder, the geometry manager, and the database query builder. They all need to be dumped or completely revamped, the way the animation thing was swept under the rug. The fact that you had to write a long explanation on your web site of how to deal with menus is a good reason for reworking the way menus are handled in the engine, not an excuse for "you just don't understand". If the engine is going to be smart (sic) enough to handle my menubar in a cross-platform way then it should be able to take care of the stuff that I would have to code myself in the way of scrolling and positioning. And the location of the Help and About menus. And whatever else needs to be taken care of. There are only a few situations where I have to put platform-specific code in my scripts, as in "if the platform is...", and I'd like to eliminate *all* of those. Everyone comes across the menu bug sooner or later, and that starts a thread here or on the forum. Do you know of any other cross-platform development environment where you have to deal with this?
