Yes. I've checked in my current state of GTK so you can test it
If you update everything, it happens on console-pro and GTK-IDE
{} is OK now that I've forced a build

On Linux only?
Kaj

[6179x2]
Dunno, probably not
I'm running View 2.7.8.4.3
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6181]
Can you try it with /Core 2.7.6? (just in case...)
Kaj
9-Mar-2013
[6182x2]
Sigh. rebol.com only lists 2.5
Found it in the maze. It works
DocKimbel

Great!

Well, I haven't used that in many years. I would like it to work 
with 2.7.8
DocKimbel

[6186x2]
Have you tested with Core 2.7.8?
I only trust 2.7.6 for my production code, I had too many weird behaviors 
and bugs in 2.7.8. 2.7.6 has some bugs too, but at least I can spot 
them easily and it seems to much more stable overall than 2.7.8.
Kaj

Same issue
2.7.6 and 2.7.7 have problems, especially in View, that make them 
unstable on Linux. I'm using 2.7.8 in Syllable
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6190]
2.7.7 is definitely a no-go.
Kaj
9-Mar-2013
[6191x2]
It works fairly well for me
Red works OK on those versions, except this problem
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6193x2]
I have never tested deeply View on non-Windows platforms, as I never 
needed it for my production code.
I will give it a look tomorrow testing with 2.7.8.

Thanks
Make sure not to change anything, as any shift in the code makes 
the problem go in hiding

In case, some of you are interested in a more detailled view of Red's 
roadmap, I've started using Trello for keeping track of current and 
future tasks. I've just started adding stuff, I have many more things 
to put there. Here's the URL:

I'm getting a blank page with just a header bar
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6199x2]
Ah...let me see...
Try with this link: https://trello.com/b/FlQ6pzdB

Redirects to same, with same result
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6202]
The board is public, it should be visible to anyone...
Kaj
9-Mar-2013
[6203]
It isn't
BrianH

I'm going to extend https://github.com/BrianHawley/rebol-patches
to R2, taking the R2/Forward stuff that made it into 2.7.8 and retrofitting 
it into older R2 versions, plus any fixes to 2.7.8 that we can manage. 
That should make it easier to use 2.7.6 or even earlier versions.
Not today, but it's the plan.

Kaj: do you see the content there: http://transmog.net/iphone-simulator/mobile-web-browser-emulator-for-ipad-2.php?u=https://trello.com/board/red-programming-language/51387ada4e1ba9b86b001141
It's a web proxy, you can surf the site from there.
Kaj
9-Mar-2013
[6208]
No, same bar. And the URL printed outside the address bar
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6209x2]
Hmm, so not a web proxy...
Do you have JS disabled?
Kaj
9-Mar-2013
[6211]
Yes
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6212]
To use Trello, please enable JavaScript.
Kaj
9-Mar-2013
[6213]
I don't see that
DocKimbel
9-Mar-2013
[6214]
I've seen it there: https://www.megaproxy.com/go/_mp_framed?https://trello.com/board/red-programming-language/51387ada4e1ba9b86b001141

If I go to syllable.org in the emulator, our site flashes by and 
then that screen goes blank, too, so that emulator is broken, too
That proxy doesn't work at all
I'm fairly sure this will all go away if I enable cookies, but I 
don't want to let all those sites install cookies, without choice 
and without telling at that

I think the window can be hidden, it might be worth checking.
Kaj
9-Mar-2013
[6219x2]
You mean the SDL program? Yes, the window is already hidden, but 
if I try it on Linux I do get a task bar icon
Measures could be taken to close the window sooner, but it's not 
worth it just for the example

Trello is a very good choice, so anyone can see what is on the list 
easily. I use it for my work and personal lists. There is Android 
app too.

Kaj: do you have multiline input support in your console-pro version?
Marco

I suggest to change the relaive part of "Readme.md" to:

Running the Red/System hello script
------------------------

1. From the REBOL console type:

    `call/show ""` ; (type this only once to fix Rebol 2 bug)

    `change-dir %red-system/`

2. Type: 

    `do/args %rsc.r "%tests/hello.reds"`
	

    the compilation process should finish with a `...output file size` 
    message.


3. The resulting binary is in `red-system/builds/`, go try it! type 
(on Windows):

    `call/wait/shell/console %builds/hello.exe`

Tell the Red interpreter "find a slash" and it finds one, Now that's 
programming computers! 
Hurray for file! support!
