Personal Paint 7.3 Bug thread

I’ve had no issues typing text on my 3.9 A1200. I’ve just tried it on my 3.1.4 A1200 this evening and I have the same text issue. The cursor moves when you type but nothing appears.

I'm using the standard intuition. Not the one that lets you drag windows off-screen.

The Amiga Kit team were our guests at the SWAG Workbench event in October. I’d completely forgotten about this thread so proceeded to demo the inability to use the single pixel brush issue. The reaction I had from the team was this was the first time they’d seen it!

I’ll have to look for the free version of Personal Paint if that works. Crazy that this still hasn’t been fixed umpteen years on.

What version of Workbench are you using?

I have the issue on 3.2.1 and 3.2.2.

Apologies for the delay in replying.

On the off-chance I'd missed something with my original installation, I tried copying all the files from my 7.3c CD on to my Amiga 1200's CF card. I then proceeded to copy any libs to the libs folder and also copied the H folder to the root of my system partition. This didn't resolve the issue.

Next, I asked a friend to send me a zip of the files from their 7.3c CD. I copied these files over and the file persisted.

In the end I've gone back to version 7.1. The single pixel brush works for me on that version.

I'm still baffled as to why I'm having issues with 7.3 on OS3.2.1 and OS3.2.2. It was fine on OS3.9.
