Beta 1.77 large code modules

[stevel05]

I attach a file that has a large code module (taken from an app so it won't compile as is) but it shows a problem with the large code module.

When I load it I can see down to line 1258, if I click the - sign it shows more lines but incorrectly formatted.

Keep clicking the - or + if it changes and things start to get weird.

Does this error happen with the attached file as well (\r\n converted to \n)?

It seems that with files bigger than ~33kbytes the problem appears.

that looks remarkably like a 2^16 = 65536 byte limit/bug as it corresponds to 32768 UTF16 characters!

Does this error happen with the attached file as well (\r\n converted to \n)?

Yes, exactly at Line 1258.

(I installed Net 4.0 meanwhile - no change!)

Seems like you are correct. The 32768th character is in the first line that causes this issue.

I confirm, the error remains.

Best regards.

Hi,

i could not load the file showsong.bas
Message: An error occured. Error loading file. Der angegebene Schlüssel war nicht im Wörterbuch angegeben.

I tried now Vb 2010 express, loaded the file, copied it and could paste it in Basic4Android. I got 2042 lines of code, i had only 4 lines to remove at the beginning:
Type=Activity
Version=1.77
FullScreen=True
IncludeTitle=False
@EndOfDesignText@

I hope, this information is usefull!

For me everything working fine. I can go down all to the end without problem and weird charachters.

EDIT:
I will test it in half hour on my wife HP laptop with Windows XP

It happens to me too.

b4a version: 1.78
NET version: v2.0.50727
os version: Win XP SP3
English language, spanish region.

Loading the file from post #21 (ShowSong.bas), text cuts at line 1258, same as rbsoft tells.

I also noticed that with the cursor keys I can go further down that line, and if I copy and paste some text (that I cannot see), then more lines appear, the last one being 1261. But it doesn't work well, really.

Sorry I've not been about this morning, this file appears OK on my set up XP SP3. Except that the - is missing from Sub Orientation Lock (As per Klaus' reply)
Net framework shows as:

EDIT for completeness: didn't work looked at the wrong version of B4A sorry

 

[Erel]

Please try:
- Open the file with a text editor.
- Copy everything
- Paste it into Basic4android

I'm trying to understand if the problem only happens during loading.

 

[pluton]

Here it is.
On my wife HP Compaq nx6325 everything is also OK
I have just installed B4A to test it because I don't work on her laptop

OS: Win XP
B4A Version: 1.78
Doesn't have android SDK installed
Doesn't have updated .NET framework

The previous file did not work properly (Looked at the wrong B4A Version sorry), still the same error. and pasting from a text editor made no difference.

and pasting from a text editor made no difference.

Just to make sure, you pasted the text to a new project and encountered the same issue, correct?

Yes that's correct

Can you save the project after opening it with the IDE (make sure you have a backup) and upload the module file?

 

[stevel05]

Here's the module.

So did I.

I've just loaded v1.78 into an XP SP3 virtual machine and can reproduce the problem. It doesn't occur under Windows 7 64 bit which is the native OS on my desktop.

The problem does not appear to be a loading problem but seems to be a display problem in the editor. When initially loaded the editor pane appears as in the screenshot in post #10. As I delete blocks of code in the "good" section of the editor above the "bad" line, previously "bad" code is now correctly formatted and displayed and the "bad" line has moved further down the code.

 

[stevel05]

Yes I can confirm that I see the same behavior, except that I have to manually collapse and expand the subroutine to get it to display the new correctly reformatted lines.
