Print Card quits no warning on Windows XP (someone verify recipe please)

[Robert Eppich]

Hello Rob and Oliver,

The following crashes my Windows XP, but not my Mac. In your multi- 
line message box, copy and paste the following:

--
create stack
set the defaultstack to the topstack
create field
set the showlines of fld 1 to true
print this card
-- Windows XP crashes

The workaround is to not have a field with both the showLines  
property and the fixedLineHeight property set to true. Turn off one  
or the other and no crash will occur.

Do you get the same results? Oliver, should this be a part of bug  
3624, or be on its own?


Thanks again everyone

Robert Eppich

Hi Robert,

I have bugzilla'd a similar problem where Revolution 2.7.x crashes on  
clicking /file->print card /for a new stack
with a scrolling field. (#3624)

Are you sure that Revolution is quitting and not crashing?

When I selected "Print Card":
	there was some delay,
		then the task bar displayed a message from the printer (HP 842C)
		saying the file failed to print,
			then the card image printed just as I wanted it,
				then I clicked on the printer icon in the task bar and...					the
print queue was empty.
