iOS: deleting a line from a field

[John Dixon]

Using delete removes the line, but when using a scroller in iOS then readjust the height of the field that contains your lines and the rect theat the scroller should cover...:-)

Dixie

       delete line lineCheck of fld 1
      /* readjust the heights that need to be scrolled */
      set the height of fld 1 to the formattedheight of fld 1
      iphoneControlSet scrollid, "contentRect", (0, 0, the width of fld 1, the formattedheight of fld 1)

In the IDE etc, the statement deletes the line and closes the gap remaining, but in iOS it doesn't close the gap but leaves a blank line! I don't know if this is a bug or one of the numerous errors I find myself making. I have anyway found a workaround, which is to replace the above script with something like this:
> 
>    put the selectedChunk into t1 -- this looks like e.g. 'char 5 to 25 of fld 4'
>    add 1 to word 4 of t1 -- to include the return at the end of the line
>    do "delete" && t3
