Size and Location values for controls accept only one number

Targets Linux
1

Linux Mint 17.3, Kernel 4.4.0-64 , Cinnamon, Xojo 2017r1 bug!
If you want to resize a control on a Window you can only put one number. 22 --> 2, 340 --> 3 or 0
32 and 64 bits.

Is it only me or is it general?

Yep - also on Mint 18, Fedora 24, Ubuntu, and a homebrew. I design layouts based on the look, so I didn’t note this during beta.

I see the same thing on Linux Mint 18.1. A couple workarounds for now: 1) paste the value in or 2) resize by dragging.

Heh. Seems like we were looking into this at the same time. I’ll connect these two cases.

Ummm, this is still happening in 2018r3 on Mint 18.3 and 19, Fedora 28 and 29, SuSE LEAP 15, and Ubuntu 18.04.1.

And, hitting backspace within a control’s font size field doesn’t delete the field contents, it deletes the control. I’ve also had a couple of incidents where it has deleted the entire parent window.

There actually is a fresh one in the system: <https://xojo.com/issue/52747>.

I’d forgotten about this until I searched to create a new one. This describes what I’m still seeing and has been verified.
