Linux - Datagrid scrolling stops; column label missing

[Glen Bojsza]

Hello,

I have an app that was built on OS X Livecdoe 4.6.4.

When standalones were generated we found that the Linux (CentOS 6.2)
version had some strange problems:

1. the vertical scroll for a datagrid sometimes fails. there are several
rows by when the user drags the vertical scroll bar the datagrid does NOT
scroll.. the bar moves but not the rows?

2. the vertical scroll up and down arrows also do nothing?

By refreshing the dgtext of the datagrid group things start to work
normally again until when it just stops working again (hard to reproduce
but it does fail regularly)

3. one of the three column labels disappeared except for the very first
letter.
- tried editing the clumn label using rev's ide but it would not do
anything to the letter .. not allow you to delete it or add to it
- tried Data Grid Helper and same problem.

Next step was to open the original file on CentoS Livecode 4.6.4 .

Not able to have problems 1 or 2 above fail in ide only in the standalone.

Fixed 3 above by pasting the full column name when the first letter was
selected.

Also, found in standalone (not the ide) that clicking a check box in a
datagrid sometimes does not register the associated message.

So, I am wondering if anyone else has come across these problems and if so
have any suggestions?

Also, wondering if the datagrid was built in the ide on CentOS and not OS X
if it will make a difference?

We found that sometimes moving a livecode stack from OS X to Linux some of
the script text has extraneous characters which need to be removed for the
script to work properly.

I am hoping these issues can / are resolved if not then Livecode is not
really supportable for Linux applications unless you don't use datagrids
IMHO.

thanks,

Glen
