Seems I found a bug in the GadTools of MorphOS.
The GTStringGadget returns always an empty string, as seen e.g. in "AsteroidsTR" or "TuiTED", found on my HP under

http://www.hd-rec.de/index.php?site=others

Is this a known bug, a new bug or no bug at all ?

Is there anyone who can verify this and report this to the developers of MOS ? (I have no clue how to reach them).

Easiest way to reach MorphOS developers is to join IRC with web irc available at MorphZone homepage. Or you can use another Irc client, as long as you set it to use right Irc server.

Secondly.. as a owner of Pegasos, you shoudl have been joined to beta2 mailing list.. Quite many devs read/post there.

I don't own a Pegasos, nor have I seen MOS in action ever. This was reported from a tester of my software.
As all my programs use GadTools, I have strong interesst to see this fixed in next MOS version. Can someone report this for me, sorry, I have no time to do this.

Ask the tester of your software to do so?

What do you mean with "return"? Ie. how do you query the contents of the string gadget?

Using GT_GetGadgetAttrs(GTST_String | STRINGA_TextVal) should definitely work. It does in AROS. Just tested. And MorphOS gadtools.library is based on AROS one.

Do you by case have any "is gadget->GadgetType GTYP_STRGADGET) in your code. That won't work.

BTW, I have tried out this editor a few days ago under Linux/UAE and it seems to not doing scrolling correctly. Likely using ScrollRaster() (ie. not ScrollWindowRaster) and then not taking care of possible layer damage caused by it. You can see the problem by moving another window (partly) over the editor window and then scrolling in the editor window. Stuff which is basically scrolled out of from underneath that other window (the scrolling creates layer damage there) is not refreshed.
