Windows title reduced to a single character

[Sarah Reichelt]

Has anyone managed to find a work-around to the problem with a stack's
title being reduced to a single character under Windows, if there is a
player on the card? This is proving a real blocker for me at the
moment, despite several bug reports, one of which says it was fixed in
Rev 3.0. I'm using Rev 4.0 and a pre-release of Rev 4.5 and it's still
happening there. So far the only solution I have found is to build the
app using Rev 2.8 which seems a bit ridiculous and causes other
problems.

For further details see:

Basically, it means that it is impossible to deploy a professional
looking standalone under Windows if it uses a player.

Checking the archives of this list, I see that Scott Rossi was reduced
to trying to place a sub-stack over the title bar so as to fake the
title of the stack but I don't know if that was successful. It
certainly seems rather extreme for a problem that has supposedly been
fixed. Mark Waddingham's work-around, suggested in September 2008, of
setting the revRuntimeBehaviour to 4 does not work, at least not in
the versions of Rev that I have tested. Maybe it worked in Rev 3.

If this cannot be fixed, then I suggest that it be noted in the docs
or on the web site that player objects are not fully implemented or
supported under Windows. And there will then need to be an alternative
supplied that will do the same job for Windows apps.
