Hi,
I see something surprising in the behavior of the StatusBar. The
script below is a simple demostration of the issue.
On linux or Windows 7, the entire 130 character message is displayed
as expected in the StatusBar. (I guess I am assuming that your
default font is of a size that the text string in the script will fit
in the 700 pixel width of the Frame.)
On Windows XP, the message is truncated at the 127th character.
I don't see anything in the documentation that suggests this limit
should exist. Nor do I see a way to work around it.
Any suggestions? Or will my Windows XP users just have to live with
this limitation?
Thanks, as always!
Bruce
