AMOS:Bug Input
Revision as of 16:08, 5 October 2007 by Spellcoder (talk | contribs)
If text from Input command reacher right side of screen, AMOS will freeze for a while. When the input is very close behind a Screen Open, the screen may not have appeared yet when AMOS hangs. (leaving you a black screen). Some time later (half a minute?) AMOS resumes.
How long the text needs to be for this to happen seems to depend on the width of the screen.
Screen Open 0,320,200,4,Lowres Input "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789!?";A$
This example uses 38 chars (so it's 38*8 pixels = 304 pixels width).
The cursor is also 8 pixels (304+8=312).
(not tested yet if it happens earlyer if you place the cursor in the middle of the screen)
