Move cursor in 4dScript editfield

Post by enterprisedynamics »

I installed ED on my computer.
When writing 4DScript code, I noticed that when I'm writing code for the first time, there is no problem.
When I confirm an Edit 4D Script window and want to edit the code again, I can not move the cursor and I can not create a code selection area to select parts of my code.
This is big problem for writing code. Is there a solution for this problem?

For non Latin languages, we have seen this problem before. We have seen this with Turkish, Eastern European and Chinese language types.
That problem could be solved by adjusting the font type which is used by the ED editor.

Please try the following:
1) Open the preferences window (menu bar: File | Preferences)
2) Select "Appearances"
3) In the right part of the window, select "Editor -> Text" in the second pull-down menu (seen from the top)
4) Use the "Change" button down right to select a new font. In case that your current selection is a non true-type font, select
a true-type font; otherwise vice versa. (selecting arial type font instead of MS Sans Serif type can work). Also changing the font script setting here is worth trying.
5) Click OK.
6) Check if the problem still exists.

It is possible that you need to alter the editor (editing) colors to get readable code.
