Hi, just wondering what the state of Lemur is these days? Is it still a 'live' product?

I ask because a couple of years ago raised a couple of times that the E command on windows had been broken in an update and this still remains broken.. Is this just something that we have to live with or can we expect a fix for this at some point in the future?

I've tried using the Editor on my Mac but as the command bar always appears behind the OSC menu bar, I can't actually connect to an iPad anyway.

In addition there have been repeated requests to fix cut/paste and accidentally hitting CTRL-S with an error in a script when then deletes (unrecoverably) the script contents after the error...

So, are these ever going to be fixed and/or enhanced or is this how things are going to be? Sorry to sound a bit negative, but these issues are at least 2-3 years old...

Cheers
Hey... I took a look around and I think I deleted the installer in my most recent purge of useless/unnecessary files. That's really weird, though. Like so weird, I really want to try to figure out what's going on and how to fix it. I didn't even know it was possible to get an app behind the menu bar. What OS are you using?
Apparently it does happen sometimes with other apps. Click the bottom edge of the app where it's black and you can drag it back into view, let me know if that worked. You might have to resize it first using the bottom right hand corner (area of the GUI with three lines)
Yes, Lemur is very much still actively developed.

Hey...
So, we have the same version of El Capitan. I just installed v 5.3.2 of the Lemur editor. I'm not having the same issue you're having. This is probably going to make you feel a little frustrated, but it's a good thing. It means that the Lemur editor works fine and there's something going on with your machine. I'm p good at troubleshooting and am willing to help you if you want. If you aren't able to drag the app back into view, the next thing I would try is adjusting your screen resolution.

Hi - If i change the resolution the top bar does appear! - Nice suggestion... However, everything is slightly offset - i.e. I have to click above and to the left to select what I want - as a result of that I still can't click on any of the control buttons, or grab the title bar as i can't go high enough on the screen to select...

Probably not easy to understand - will get a vid together when I get time...
I think I understand what you're saying... before I look into what might be going on, my next question is are you using an external monitor or are you using the built in display for a laptop?
That's what I thought. I've had a similar problem with a Windows 7 machine before. I never really tried to get to the bottom of it, but my guess is it has something to do with the resolution of the monitor and the resolution settings on your mac mini. I'm going to look into what's going on and how to fix it when I get the chance (today is kind of busy for me), but in the mean time there's something else you can try that might work. Go to System Preferences>General then select "Automatically hide and show menu bar." The menu bar stays hidden unless you scroll to the top edge of your screen. You might be able to grab the top of the Lemur editor before it drops down. Hoping that works for you.
