World: r3wp

btw - maybe more direct question - where's defined spacing between 
the elements? I mean - I run Carl's demo next to RMA's demo, and 
I think that Carl's version got element spacing more pleasant. Where 
should I look to change it?

Any pointer appreciated ...

Cyphre is ill (flu), so there might be some delays in answers.

Petr, do you have a screenshot?

We have the box-model like CSS, so there are a lot of different spacing 
things that can be defined.

ok, I'll make one right away ....

this is just first prototype of first section. I have problem making 
a panel, to work reliably ... I don't understand the space at the 
top of the panel, that is still probably buggy on my part ...

Cool... you already made good progress. Do you know the boxmodel 
graphic? I might need to add it to our web-page.

no, I don't ... just the general doc for the WIP, plus your resizing 
docs ...

I vote for the MDP docs being added into the distro, if possible 
... or their generated html variant ...

So, guys, is there any new revised release in the plan?
 - most probably next week
Or any explanations to my findings?

 - having trouble to reproduce some of your findings here, and some 
 problems are related to the parts Cyphre is working on

http://www.rm-asset.com/code/level1/r3-gui/resizing/#sect5

HTML docs are online.

regarding your layout containing the WHEN and CLICKER elements, they 
look like still being incompatible with the current resizing

(that was a note to Pekr)

I know Ladislav - I even tried to comment them out, becuase I was 
nervous about the top empty space, which can be seen in the image 
I posted.

I even took the content out, to remove it from the demo dependency, 
and tried, I posted short script, and the space is still there ...

You can see the short script few of my messages above - the spaca 
is still there. I worry, that I still don't have good understanding 
of panel content handling functions, I used:

child: make-face 'vpanel []
set-panel-content child lay
view child

or 'hpanel [break-after: 1]

You can see what I have got resizing such a layout: http://xidys.com/pekr/rebol/messy-resizing.jpg

When i close window, and call my %test.r3 again, I get stack overflow 
we discussed earlier ... Dunno, why I did not get it running the 
first time ...

CLICKER was not adapted, so no matter how hard you try, without adapting 
it, you cannot achieve good results

I think that the trouble is in make-face and how the panel is preconstructed 
.... because when I use the same layout submitted just to view, it 
works correctly ...

I am not judging the clicker, just comment it out :-)

so what, when I comment the two incompatible parts of the layout 
out, it looks normal doesn't it?

OK, just try very simple layout:

lay: [button "OK"]

child: make-face 'hpanel [break-after: 1]
set-panel-content/no-show child lay
view child

what is wrong with that?

It does just the same here - first the dialog box with button is 
displayed ... I close it ... then I do the script again, and I get 
stack-overflow ...

I use the latest r3-gui.r3

that part is not reproducible for me

(even when doing it ten times, no stack overflow)

OK, I'll redownload all stuff again from RMA ...

that may not help, I probably have a bit newer code

or, maybe I use a different system

But Cyphre might be able to reproduce your problem once he is back

I redownloaded everything. Still the same ...

the culprit is set-panel-content -> insert-panel-content -> parse 
panel .... imo :-) I'll wait for newer code containing some fixes 
...

stackoverflow: We are taking care of this with Carl at the moment. 
We have a test-case where I can reproduce the problem.

Carl? Nice. The culprit is the following code, which is simply wrong:

show-native: :show
show: funct [gob] [
    update-subgobs gob
    show-native gob
]

show-native calls show = itself ... strange indeed, as It does not 
crash with first viewing of the window, but at the second viewing. 
Do you think the problem is low level?

simply wrong
 - why do you think?

This is the code:

code: view [
    title "Opinion Survey"
    text "Do you want programs to be easy to build?"
    hpanel 2 [
        label "Answer:"
        hgroup [
            radio "Agree"
            radio "Disagree"
            radio "Not sure"
        ]
        pad
        check "I'm a programmer."
        pad
        check "I am also a REBOL expert."
        label "Name:"
        field
        label "Comment:"
        area
    ]
    hgroup [
        button "Submit" submit http://www.rebol.net/cgi/submit.r
        button "Reset"  reset
        button "Cancel" close
    ]
]

loop 10 [
	do code
]
print "all code passed - no crashes"
halt

all code passed - no crashes

regarding the above Show-native issue - that is a do-once-only-code, 
as I see it. If you run it only once in the console, you don't get 
any stack overflow

aha, you see? my wrong understanding :-) I thought calling such a 
show causes infinite loop :-)

But, sure, that should be corrected to not cause any trouble if somebody 
inadvertently runs the code twice

as a temporary measure, you could replace the

show-native: :show

by

unless any-function? :show-native [show-native: :show]

...or

if command? :show [show-native: :show]

Robert, does that cure the problem for you?
