I'd like to know who submitted that one lol !

Certainly not on an 8-bit computer !

Some languages don't bother with LF, you may type a lot of things on a single line .

Sounds like a runaway iteration loop.

Feature request, this one came from Kent at fmslug but is something I also struggle with greatly.

On mac, the script debugger has an annoying trait where if you step over perform script steps, it jumps to the bottom of the debugger so you can't see what is coming next. Can this be fixed via MBS in any way so that it always ensures you can see the next 5 or 6 lines of a script coming next?

[MonkeybreadSoftware]

You mean to scroll the debugger automatically and make sure at least the next three lines before and after are visible?
I think I could do that.

[weetbicks]

Yes that's the one

• Added SystemInfo.AppResourceUsageStatistics function.
• Improved how we scroll lists to make sure more rows below and after a visible.
• Improved debugger in FileMaker to scroll better and show a few rows adhead on stepping.
• Improved our CopyButton to not show the warning in console about adding a button to the title bar.
• Updated DynaPDF to version 4.0.102.290.
