Just started working with LB5.350 on Mac OS

[bjazmoore]

Mac os 10.14.4
Some stuff I have seen - 

In Editor: Edit -> Find and Replace: throws an unhandled exception.
In Editor: When you rename a file the new name is not reflected in the file tab. (actually if load or save a different file it will update all the tab names)
In Editor: It would be cool if the editor parsed file path characters "\" and "/" in windows and unix environments so that only a single file path character would be required across both environments (or maybe some directive to handle both environment's path characters based on OS) - I don't know.  This is not a bug - just a wish list item.
LB5: Somehow I managed to orphan a window that I could no longer close.  I had probably launched several versions of the code while working with it and somehow left one running under the LB5 editor window.  I closed that code file and went on to working with other files.  Later I noticed this file running and tried to close it using the "x" button, but it would not close.  It worked fine while working with the file previously.  There was a trap for the close event for this window.  I have not been able to reproduce the situation.
LB5: Working with the LB4 demo file bitmap.bas I have found that the command to write a new face onto a bitmap button (print #main.button1, "bitmap arrow") does not seem to work.  The loadbmp command is working fine, I altered the code to display the bitmaps. I will post the code in a comment to this item. 
LB5: I don't think anyone would be shocked to hear that the command StyleBits is not supported on the mac os.  It leverages truly windows WIN32 functionality.
LB5: I am working on converting the BUTTONS1.bas file to LB5.  I am having issues with graphics not firing at the right times.  I think the graphics window needs more work in the LB5 mac os environment.

And this is the code for BITMAP.bas promised in the first message.


 'bitmap.bas
 'demonstrate the bitmap command for bmpbuttons
   'currently broken in LB5 - the command to print a new bmp onto a bmpbutton is not working.
 WindowWidth = 248
 WindowHeight = 175
 nomainwin
 loadbmp "arrow", "bmp/arrwbttn.bmp"
 loadbmp "blue", "bmp/bluebttn.bmp"
 bmpbutton #main.button1, "bmp/blank4.bmp", button1Click, UL, 22, 11
 bmpbutton #main.button2, "bmp/blank4.bmp", button2Click, UL, 22, 46
 open "untitled" for graphics as #main
 print #main, "trapclose [quit]"
 print #main, "down ; fill white; flush"
   print #main, "drawbmp arrow 80 11"
   print #main, "drawbmp blue 80 46"
 'wait here for input events
 wait
sub button1Click handle$  'Perform action for the button named 'button1'
 print #main.button2, "setfocus"
 print #main.button2, "bitmap arrow"
 print #main.button1, "bitmap blue"
end sub
sub button2Click handle$   'Perform action for the button named 'button2'
 print #main.button1, "setfocus"
 print #main.button1, "bitmap arrow"
 print #main.button2, "bitmap blue"
end sub
[quit]
 close #main
 end

Also noticed the editor sucks all the white space (blank lines) between basic lines of code out of the file when saving.

Perhaps it's a difference in line endings?
