Problems with window format

Hi people.

I have just started using Processing but already run into problem.

I cannot see what is on the left side of the window. It simply seems like my code disappears… Also if I copypaste anything on a new line, the first letters in the text disappears.

Anybody who knows how I can make my code on the left “appear” again?

Oh nevermind, I figured it out. I just needed to use the “edit” bottom in the top of the screen and then press “Increase Indent”

Hello @Evolvingcoder ,

I have run into this issue before.
There should be a scroll bar to move it back but it is not present sometimes.

For Windows 10 I simply hit the “Home” key and I am back in business.

Hello glv. thank you!! :slightly_smiling_face:

This is not a good solution because the indent is meant to increase the readability of the code.

Lines that are dependent of other lines have a bigger indent.

Try it with ctrl-t which gives you automatically indent.

You are welcome!

I have found a way to reproduce this.

Open a sketch and move the scroll bar to the center:

Maximize the sketch window and the scroll bar dissapears:

The “Home” key will left-align the view.

Tested with Windows 10.

Thanks @glv for investigating. That’s clearly a bug! If you don’t mind reporting this opening an issue on GitHub that’d be much appreciated :folded_hands:
