Hello,

Apologies for my delayed response. I have been traveling. I tried to install the updated CVS to test with Windows 8, but I was unable to install the package. On the first try I got this error: [graphic to follow]

And when I tried re-downloading from another mirror I got this error: [graphic to follow]

Thanks,

Logan

Subject: [Gretl-devel] UI bug in Gretl CVS

Hello,

I have found some odd behavior with the Gretl CVS UI in Windows 8. First, I am running Windows 8 64 bit OS and Gretl 1.9.12cvs.

Odd behavior 1.

When I open a script file from the OS explorer window (assuming Gretl is already running), Gretl asks if I want a new session. If I answer yes, everything works fine. If I say no, nothing happens. I think it is supposed to load the script into the current session.

Odd behavior 2.

If I load a script from within the editor, i.e. File->Open, the currently open scrip disappears in favor of the newly opened script, i.e. tabs do not engage. I do believe I have set the option to use tabs to true.

I have not seen these reported on the lists serves, so this might be a Windows 8 problem.

Logan
