[comp.sys.amiga] MSizer disables my escape key

evgabb@sdrc.UUCP (Rob Gabbard) (12/04/89)

Has anyone had problems with the MSizer tool that was recently
posted to comp.sources.amiga ? It does what its supposed to but
in the mean time it disables my escape key. This is pretty
annoying when using STEVIE or when using vi over the modem.

I using this on a 2500/20.

So *that's* what's causing it....  Damn.  I was just getting used to
MSizer, too.  I had noticed the problem with the ESC key but didn't have
the time to track it down.

I have a stock 2000.

I've had a problem with msizer too.  I was trying it out on some console
windows, then using F1 and F2 to restore the windows to default sizes 
when a window ran off screen causing a GURU...apparently either something
is being modified without a lock that should use a lock, or something
is not being updated correctly.   Playing around for awhile I managed to
lock up Intuition once, and cause a GURU several times.

Other than that, it was neat!  I really liked it.

Yeah, I had nothing but problems with MSizer so I dumped it pretty quick.  It's
to easy to make it guru (try "resizing" a window - poof - oops).  As I recall,
it also dorked around with my functions keys  and/or something else.  
Nice idea, still too buggy.

Heck, I couldn't get it to do anything at all.  Maybe I missed something in
the documentation, but it seemed to be a pretty lifeless program.... What
am I doing wrong?

	I dont know what Msizer is, but we have a terminal at work with
an escape key that dosent work. I have instructed the operators to use
^[, and it works just fine. It's a bit annoying, but better than nothing.


					Hope this helps...
