Goodmorning everybody,
Just a small question. Did anybody encounter the following problem?
If a "relative" large amount of data contained in a variable is put into a field, the field doesn't show all the data although it seems to be present.
To force all the data in the variable to be seen in the field, one has to copy it to the field in smaller chunks.
I tested the following scripts on several computers in the vicinity (only OS X and that's the why of the question) and they all showed the same problem.
(the scripts give a different mileage in Revolution and Metacard, although they use the same engine)
on mouseUp put "" into fld "output" lock screen repeat with i = 1 to 10000 put i & ", " after b end repeat delete last char of b put b into fld "output" select after fld "output" put the number of items in fld "output" end mouseUp
Have you tried to remove the lock screen? May be it interferes here?
What is the purpose of select after? To have a blinking cursor after the inserted text? The side effect of this may be that the field scrolls, so it may also affect the screen update. May be you should try doing this select through a time-delayed send to allow all other updates to proceed as scheduled.
Last, what about having enough memory? Field updates require some extra internal buffers in the engine. I know because I have a program that updates a field regularly while other activity is going on, and for some reason (memory fragmentation of some sort) results in memory leak.
