Hello,

See how the text becomes clipped at the bottom. Also how do I hide the scrollgroup arrows? I tried using <text> instead of <floattext>, but the damn text won't wordwrap and I end up with massively wide windows! I just want to get the columns width fixed!

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<application base="Jack">
	<window title="Jack - Multi-purpose Workbench Commodity - Commodity Help Window" muiid="HELP" id="HELP" notify="closerequest" sizegadget="false" open="false">
		<!-- Column Widths to do -->
		<vgroup>
			<colgroup columns="2" fixwidth="900">
			<floattext font="big">\33b\33A[10] App-Store:\33n Open the AmigaOS / OS4Depot App-store.</floattext>
			<floattext font="big">\33b\33A[241] Update Weather Forecast:\33n The forecast is automatically updated every hour. You can click this icon to manually refresh the forecast.</floattext>

			<floattext font="big">\33b\33A[165] Capture the Screen:\33n Take a quick snapshot of the screen, you can also select an area of the screen to crop.</floattext>

			</colgroup>
			<hgroup>
			<button id="help-jack" notify="pressed">\33A[244] Visit Jack website</button>
			</hgroup>
		</vgroup>
	</window>
</application>

This looks like a bug in OS4's Floattext class because it doesn't occur on MorphOS. I'll report it to the OS4 MUI maintainers.

To get rid of the scroller, use Listview.ScrollerPos (Floattext is a subclass of Listview class).

OS4's MUI maintainer was very fast. He has already fixed the issue. No idea when it will be available for end-users, though.
