[L2Ork-dev] Purr Data 2.15.0

[Albert Graef]

Hi Joseph,

thanks for the feedback, but I'm afraid that I can't reproduce any of these
issues on my side. :(

- Default zoom levels on Windows (10) are *exactly* the same as on Linux
and Mac for me. Note that otherwise all the help patches would be
completely out of whack, and they look fine to me. Well, there are some
minor imperfections due to old Windows code special-casing for nw.js
0.14.7, but I think that Ico already has a fix ready for that which will be
in the next release. If that is not what you see, then maybe (this is just
a wild guess) it's a specific patch and you have zoom save/restore enabled
in the GUI prefs? If it's not one of those things, please post a screenshot
of a minimal sample (preferably one of the help patches shipping with Purr)
which seems out of whack to you.

- We've already discussed your issues with Purr occasionally freezing
off-list, but as I said, I can't reproduce this on any of my Linux boxes
either. So if anyone seems to have similar issues, please report them so
that we can begin tracking down the issue. Joseph, I understand that this
is frustrating, but the hard reality is that we can't fix bugs that we
can't reproduce. :( As soon as we can reproduce them, we can probably
identify the issue and fix it. But until then we'll have to wait and see
whether someone can confirm your problems and tell us exactly how to
reproduce these issues, or at least come up with a good explanation.

Best,
Albert
