Desktop IDE - Classic
LiveCode Create 1.0DP5
A few things I have noticed:

  1. When I paste some text into the materialField widget when configured as a textArea, I get a motif style scrollbar - and I am sure that isn’t intended. [see screenshot]
  2. Pasting formatted text, doesn’t seem to display the HTMLText of the pasted text. Well, it might display for a fraction of a second but then loses the formatting.
  3. Is there a way to enable the Horizontal scrollbar ? I don’t see this option in the property inspector.
  4. Is there documentation for this widget in the dictionary? I searched for materialField and couldn’t find it - I am looking for a definition of the selectionIndicies - not sure what that does.
  5. Can the bounding rectangle properties/color be changed?

I like a lot of what I see with the new widgets, and would like to test them in a new project - but the Motif themed scrollbars would prevent me being able to use this one for now.

Agreed, the scrollbar is nearly unusable…

Thanks for the report!

I have filed them as issues/feature requests and we are working towards a resolution.

For your question regarding setting the colour of the field widget boundaries - You can set the border colour in the Property Inspector but as of right now there is no option to set the hover colour of the border.

Thank you for taking the time to help us improve LiveCode Create!

Documentation is also coming soon!
