Aweb Popup problems with OS3.9 Boing Bag 1

Top | Amiga | Aweb Contact


Richard de Rivaz reports that popups with less than three options don't work with AWeb 3.4 and OS3.9 BB1. I can confirm this on my BVision and CGFX v3 but others on the OS3.9 list say they have no problems. Stephan Rupprecht who posts the fix below says that it depends on your font size.

2 options, this does not work:

3 options, this does work:


It turns out that this is a problem with the listbrowswer.gadget in sys:classes/gadgets, you must change two bytes:

The problem here is a change to listbrowser.gadget. To fix this problem load the gadget into a hexeditor and look for the following hex numbers


0C6A 0023 0150
replace the 0023 with 000F

0C6A 001F 0152
replace the 001F with 000F

Regards.

You can use a hex editor, or you can use this patch file and spatch (inculded).
