BUG: First PRINT after Resizing Output Window Is Lost (34606)






This article was previously published under Q34606

SYMPTOMS

If you issue a sequence of PRINT commands so that the output starts scrolling and you resize the window smaller, the next PRINT statement does not appear. Subsequent PRINT statements appear correctly. Basic does not recognize the new window size until after the first PRINT statement has been executed on the newly sized window.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Microsoft QuickBasic Version 1.00, Basic Compiler Version 1.00, and Basic Interpreter Versions 2.00, 2.10, and 3.00 (buglist2.00, buglist2.10, buglist3.00) for the Macintosh .

We are researching this problem and will post new information as it becomes available.

MORE INFORMATION

The following example demonstrates the problem:
FOR i = 1 TO 35
   PRINT "test"
NEXT i
PRINT "Now resize output window vertically smaller, then click window"
WHILE MOUSE(0)<>1 : WEND
PRINT "This line will not appear"
PRINT "Second line does appear after window resized"
