Hi,
Thanks for this, but I can't help thinking - "Wouldn't it just be better
to fix the bug(s) in the answer command? That way we could all use an
inbuilt command to debug our code. I try to avoid custom debugging aids
if possible since they can cause subtle changes in the way the
environment executes and mask problems or cause new ones.
Is the code available for the Answer command? If so, I might have a go
at fixing it.
There are two options for this: adding a horizontal scrollbar with the
formattedWidth exceeds the available space, or altering the text engine
so that it breaks on non-word boundaries.
The latter would require rewriting the text engine in Rev, so if you're
looking for DIY solutions the scrollbar one shouldn't be too hard.
I recently rewrite the Ask and Answer dialogs for the MC IDE, and they
were tedious but not too complicated. I can't imagine the Rev dialogs
are much harder to deal with. In MC all the code is contained in the
stacks themselves; with any luck the same is true for Rev so you'll have
no trouble finding what you needs.
If you enhance them it might make a good exercise to also make a patcher
as well, so folks could update their IDE if they choose.
And as Kevin has said here before, if you send a patcher to them they
tend to roll changes into the IDE faster than with just a request.
