Personal Paint 7.3a for 68k bug
« on: August 06, 2016, 07:36:02 PM »
I just bought and installed the new version of Personal Paint 7.3a from A-eon and I believe I am encountering a bug.

Using any drawing tool (freehand, box, circle, etc) if I have the single pixel brush selected (from the top of the tool menu... top left), it will not draw anything.  If I select any other size brush it paints normally but when selecting the single pixel nothing.  If I right click a larger size brush and then resize it down to a single pixel then everything works fine but if I then select a larger brush then select back to a single pixel again... nothing.

Anyone else using the latest version for 68k from A-eon encountered this?

Thanks,
Dan

I don't know what those 2 apps are (fblit and ftext) I did installing "betterwb" on top of a fresh 3.1 installation.  Is that something that betterwb could have installed?

Ok, so I went into PPaint settings and under settings/graphics/ I turned *on* "Amiga Blitter" and now it seems to draw the single pixel fine.  Should Amiga blitter be on anyway when using standard Amiga screenmodes?

well I got the personal paint issue solved by turning on amiga blitter.

Now after reading the feedback on fblit I am tempted to try it, but it sounds like it does have some compatibility issues... and I hate those. I do have a 40mhz 68040 so it sounds like it would be faster at somethings... but I would hate to have some programs acting all buggy.
