    Hope to get back my underscores so they are visible again in Synwrite. Lost them somehow after 95.008 upgrade.

      Check your setting in SYNWRITE. Function key F9. All good on the reference computers here. I have seen issues with very hi-res screens. Do you have hi-res?

    Aha, yes the false setting worked in Syn.exe.manifest "<dpiAware>false</dpiAware>" . I just have a standard 1080p 1920x1080 display.

    Thank you Evan, and Jacques Nilo for finding the cause. Have cheery good'day.

      Yes. When you have hi-res display adapters. sometimes (but, not all display adapters) the underscore is not visible in the IDE. This is a bug in the underlying editor not Great Cow BASIC. The fix is to manually edit a specific config file.

      If you can see underscores in the IDE. Do not worry.

    Yes, my underscore is missing (not visible) in the Synwrite IDE I have tried that bug fix in the synwrite.exe manifest file but it has done nothing for me.

    It is probably because I am using a larger font in the frame because as it comes the font is really very very small.

    It's no big deal not being able to use the underscore but it would be nice to use it again.

      So, I am assuming you have a hi:-res screen? if https://sourceforge.net/p/gcbasic/discussion/579126/thread/65c0c800/#5eb7 does not resolve. Pop over to the Synwrite forum, see if you can get an answer there.

      Let us know the answer. I am sure others will hit the same issue.

    If you don't mind, I'll leave it for the moment. I'm having a hell of a time trying to make Atmel Studio 7 compile a .c file. I'm begining to think it won't !!

      That is becouse there are only two languages worth knowing, Assembler and GCBasic :)

    AGREED !!!

    Try this. I have just updated to Great Cow BASIC. Does this fix the issue? You may still need to adapt Syn.exe.manifest for a particular user config.

    Download https://svn.code.sf.net/p/gcbasic/temp/SynWrite.zip, copy on top of your existing install. I will delete this as this is likely to be included v.0.95.010. We need to test this anyway.

    Thats it --- Sorted -- Champion! Thank you...

      Can you please try all the functionality? Are there any other issues?

      As an example, Great Cow BASIC context help was not working in the previous release of Synwite. We need to know all is good.

    Summary:

    You need the version of the IDE greater than v.0.95.008 to resolve this issue. I will include the new editor in the next release.

    I resolved this problem by simply changing the "Line Spacing" from 1 to 2.

    Options > Customize > Viiew Setting > Line Spacing
