Re: [Pythoncard-users] LayoutEditor trouble on Mac?

[Christian B. <c.b...@qx...>]

There seems to be a workaround: changing the template that is opened by
default when the layoutEditor is opened:

If you modify tools/resourceEditor/templates/templates.rsrc as follows

...
  { 'type':'Background',
    'name':'bgTemplate',
    'title':'Standard Template with File->Exit menu',
    'size':( 800, 600 ),
    'style':['resizeable'],
    'statusBar':0,

...

the panel that can be worked with is 800 x 600 pixels big. Not very elegant,
but this makes the editor at least usable on the Mac. Better would be a
solution that adapts the panel to the size of the window automatically.
