Transcript

Couple of different problems with the Transcript in Beta2.

Fire up the image, open a workspace and evaluate

100 timesRepeat: [Transcript print: 1; cr]

1) The only way of opening the Transcript is by clicking on the task bar,
none of the icons/menu options or evaluating "TranscriptShell show" seem to
work.
2) When you do open the Transcript you have to click on the scroll bar to
get it to show the contents.

I don't know about the first problem (we'll investigate as a new defect, but
I suspect that 4.0 may behave in the same way under Windows XP?). The 2nd is
simply the reappearance of the behaviour in 4.0. We'd "fixed" the latter by
using a MultilineTextEdit instead of a RichTextEdit view. Having reverted
the change, the old bug report (#149) has been reopened.

No. Clicking on the Transcript icon/menu option in 4.0 opens the Transcript
as expected.

I traced it to View>>show  which, unlike 4.0, uses SW_SHOW rather than
SW_SHOWNORMAL. Change that back and the Transcript re-opens when expected.

Thanks Ian, I've reopened defect #463, the fix for which has caused this
problem.
