I've had both these - the second is really starting to annoy me - I think it is
to do with the Auto-load error file option - see my post "WinMegaPOV" in p.u.p
Also I noticed that when the clipboard is not empty WinMega/POV will not copy
the pane.
And after 24 renders of a scene containing just
"sdghfdhfhgdfghdfghdfghdfhgdfghdfhgdfhg" WinMegaPOV killed the horizontal
message window scroll bar
WinPOV-Ray also did it (23,22 renders) whether I disabled Auto-load error file
or not
A scene containing the following did it in less (7 official&mega) - maybe it is
to do with the capacity of the message window
"#declare i = 0;
#while(i<100)
#debug"a\n"
#declare i = i+1;
#end
sdghfdhfhgdfghdfghdfghdfhgdfghdfhgdfhg"
Adding an extra 'a' resulted in no change
but adding an extra line did it in 4/5 renders and changing the string to
"\n\n\n\n\n" did it in the middle of a second render
"nnnnn" took 21-24 & so did
"nnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn"
It seems that the number of lines causes it but I haven't a clue on how to fix
it.
The first problem could also have a similar cause.
Bugs??
