[Mono-dev] SWF Issues

[Luke Page]

1 Yes - in the SVN UseSystemPasswordChar and PasswordChar have no effect for
MaskedTextBox (although bugzilla says these properties were fixed for
TextBox, so it shouldn't be too much of a problem)

3 - Yes, the textbox retains focus, but loses the caret.

4 - I've fixed quite a few RTB bugs since 1.2.6, so its likely that these
screens now work (I hope!)

If you don't get round to adding these to bugzilla, please email me the
sample RTF files and I'll raise/fix these.

thanks,

Luke

> around that by have a textbox of minimum size. After the form has been
> shown, I set focus to it, and in the textbox leave event, I reset the focus
> to the textbox. This works in windows, but in Linux, the cursor leaves the
> text box. This may be because the form is not maximized.
> 4)      Most instruction screens are blank. I think it is because the text
> is in a rich text box.
