Hi,

i use version V5.07.05RC4.
When I scroll down and up once in the editor, the top row of pixels of the numbers and letters disappear on some lines:

The error occurs with MODE 1 as well as MODE 2, whereby it is more disturbing with MODE 2...
This malfunction does not affect the whole line, nor all lines.

In MODE 2, the assignment of the function keys is not displayed in the footer - is this the way it should be for space reasons?

The ' character is not on the correct key on the German keyboard. As with Teraterm, it should be the '# key and not the `'. You can live with this anyway - I just wanted to point it out...

Frank

I used "OPTION LCDPANEL CONSOLE 7". The standard at MODE 2 was too big for me.

Found it - will fix in the next RC (day 1 Geoff bug which makes a change

). Only seen in fonts that don't have two clear lines between the top of one character and the bottom of the previous.

That code is six years old. It is amazing how these smaller bugs can stay hidden for so long.

Part of the old "90/10 rule"?
