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.

Oops, that got broken somehow. It's now fixed in CVS and snapshots,
verified working on Linux and Windows 7.

I didn't find a problem with that one, tested on Linux and Windows
7. Are you sure you have "Script editor uses tabs" checked under
/Tools/Preferences/General?

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]
[cid:image003.png@01CE770C.4349B560]
And when I tried re-downloading from another mirror I got this error: [graphic to follow]
[cid:image004.jpg@01CE770C.4349B560]
Thanks,
Logan

Hmm, strange. When I test on Windows I usually fetch a local copy of
gretl_install.exe, but to check this issue I tried getting the current
snapshot
from sourceforge today, and it installed OK. Maybe some temporary blip
somewhere?

Thanks. I will try again asap, but I am traveling so I might not be to quick to check.
