So something named "MS Edge" exists; this is not a very useful news for me... I don't remember when I've used IE last time (I was a child, I think)

Just to not open a new thread...

"Unfortunately," it has already been used, but today the Anywhere software products should be known as B4A - Basic 4 All

I don't think this is an Edge only problem. It's been happening for years with several browsers.

The so called hidden char that needs to be removed (you'll notice it when the cursor dissapears when moving in a line that gives errors)

I wrote that post only to say that I did not know the existence of a "new" MS browser (now I know it is installed with Windows 10, then is not so new) and that I don't love MS browsers. I'm not saying that these kind of problems exist only with MS products.

IE was one of the worst browsers (perhaps the worst ever).

 

[sorex]

it still is, it's even worse in usage than the non-Edge ones.

My experience by trial and error.
I copy the code text on Notepad then from there to B4X.
Give it a shot.

A true developer doesn't copy and paste someone else's code, they read and understand and write their own!

If you're commenting on what I said above, then sorry I didn't say I am a true programmer to anyone.
But never mind everyone makes a mistake.

I'm not sure that this is the same issue. The MS Edge issue is relatively new (few weeks) and it is confusing as the code looks correct in the IDE.

There are cases where developers are expected to copy a code snippet from the tutorial. For example with Firebase integration.

@Erel
Also when real developers wrap third party libraries or make new versions of others' games. No one today is working from scratch.

LOL, keep the timeline, make the customer happy and see the other 300 things in front of me. We have a saying... Does it work? DON'T TOUCH IT!
