Unable to use '&" and suggetions in Script Editor
« on: March 04, 2021, 10:34:28 pm »
Hi,

I was wondering if any body has any issues with the Script Editor inside EA.
I am unable to use the ' and " char's inside the Script editor.
I am also unable to get any suggestions after a  . after a element or function.

the funny thing is i can use the ' & " chars at ANY other place inside EA or any place you can think of.

I encounterd this bug at multiple installations and laptop's and in Citrix environments. So i find it pretty odd i cant find anything about it.
running a dutch version of Windows 10 Home Build version 2004(19041.804)- Unicode, Changing the language does not resolve the problem.
Changing chcp page does not resolve the problem.

Happend in v15.1 and v15.2

Wondering if anybody has some suggestions :)

Kind Regards,

Paolo F Cantoni

Hi Stasjah,

Which Language?  "&" works fine for me in VBScript editor.

With suggestions, you mean if you type

"Repository." (note the dot) it doesn't show the different properties and operations you can call?

That is the weirdest thing. I've worked in on all types of systems, including Dutch windows, but neve experienced any of this.
Looks like something in your profile, or one of your installed apps is somehow interacting with the script editor in EA.

Have you tried contacting Sparx support?

I don't know of a fix. I do know this happened to a Dutch colleague of mine.

Must be a weird mixup with regards to the keyboard settings I would think.
