| Summary | 0005146: Down-Arrow key is not working when WHDLoad is loaded from the CLI | ||||||||||||
| Description | Typing "WHDLoad" into the Shell gives a summary of options from which the 'Down-Arrow' key or 'Return' key scrolls them down a line at a time. Only 'Return' works now to scroll the line! 18.5 works as expected with the Down-Arrow, but 18.6 doesn't appear to respond to it. | ||||||||||||
| Steps To Reproduce | Open a Shell and type in: "WHDLoad" and try pressing the Down-Arrow key. | ||||||||||||

This is strange. It works fine here. Does Space for page down work? Do you have a chance to test it with kickstart 3.1? |

Space works and so does Return, but no Down-Arrow. 18.5 works fine! Tried it with 3.1 and 3.1.4 with same results. This is all under WinUAE though version 4.2.1 (an older version from 2019). Update: Just tried it on my real 060 Amiga 1200 (a 3.1 system) and it has the exact same issue! Down-Arrow doesn't work! Luckily I had the 18.4 archive still on there and I extracted it and tried the WHDLoad executable from that and the Down-Arrow worked! |

I can confirm the issue, cursor down doesn't work for me either in 18.6. In older versions of WHDLoad it works. |

@Wepl: Curiosity got the better of me and I checked with WHDLoad 18.4 and 18.6. Main difference is that WHDLoad 18.4 calls _LVOWaitForChar() after cursor down has been pressed, WHDLoad 18.6 omits this call and hence never receives the correct code for cursor down ($9b42, the $42 part is never received). Should be an easy fix but it makes me wonder that cursor down works on your system, as far as I can see the cursor down handling is broken and doesn't work. |

I had optimized the call to WaitForChar() to be more compatible with VAMOS which does not implement it currently. It works in KingCon but not in CON. I think this a bug in CON as a single keypress should also be read by a single Read. However, I will revert and fix it. |

Please check latest beta http://whdload.de/whdload/whd187.lha which should fix the issue. Thanks for the report :) |

That 18.7 beta has fixed the issue so it seems. I've tested on my real 060 3.1 system and my WinUAE 3.0 020 setup. Thanks! There is another minor issue I noticed (you're thinking WHAT?!) When WHDLoad is loaded in a small height shell window (like the one from execute command in WB menu) and it gives you those options with Space to show next screen/down arrow or return to scroll single line... well if you instead expand the shell window in height to full screen, then pressing return or down-arrow will 'fill in' the expanded lines of the window per key-press - which is correct of course. Space on the other hand doesn't behave the same and even after expanding the shell window to full it will not 'fill in' the empty screen space and just keeps itself to the initial top few lines (1/3 of the screen). Lha has a similar setup, but it works as expected and expands and fills all lines (rows) of the window after being expanded and then scrolled. |

@Wepl Are you looking into this? Not sure whether I should reopen it for the above. |
|
Wepl (manager) 2021-05-17 21:14 |
I'm still thinking about if a change for this is worth the effort. I don't really see the use case to execute whdload via the WB menu. |
|
Paul Head (reporter) 2021-05-18 12:02 |
You're right, it's NOT worth the effort. I just checked out Lha again and even that cocks up when going the other way and even sometimes crashes. I suppose not many people but me prattle about with such things. :-D |
