Code Display Issue - '.' and ':' removed from function declares and uses

Glider (IDE)
#1

Hi,

I’m using a classes implementation on my project, of course using Lua Glider.

As far as I am aware I have all the latest updates.

My issue is that the period and colons when declaring/using functions within a class are being removed from the display (although they are still in the file - they’re just invisible in the editor).  Also, using the cursor to move through the line, it appears as if its taking into account the ‘.’ or ‘:’ - but again, its just not displaying it.

I have attached an image showing its missing.  My class is called ‘welcome’, the function ‘drawBackground’.  You’ll see that the code coloring identifies the welcome class name, but where’s my ‘:’??  :slight_smile:

Any suggestions?  Is this an issue or a setting I have missed somewhere?  Obviously its not a show stopper, but is pretty darn annoying!!

Thanks

Hello Ben,

Very strange! We have never seen this issue before. Are you on a Mac or Windows? Does this happen for just one file or for everything? It also seems from the screenshot that font smoothing/AA is not working either which might be related to this. One thing you might want to try is to change the style of the colon. By default we made it bold+italic so it stands out from a “.” but it might be the case that whatever font Java is picking from your system might not display it properly. Please see this screenshot for instructions:

Ok, so based on your feedback, I tried using a different font.  Problem went away, so for what ever reason Lua Glider does not handle the ‘:’ or ‘.’ for the Dina TTF font - presumably because it is bold and italic.

So it’s no biggie, thanks for the help.

I’m having a similar problem with the display and it just started happening. I’m using the courier font, which is universal. It’s very distracting. Please fix this. Here is a screen shot:
