I have the same problem. But I've already downloaded and installed the latest version of Blitz3D (1.87, right?) and it still doesn't display any code.
If I create a new file and start typing, I can't see anything I type, or a cursor. But if I Select All and Copy, the code does get copied to the clipboard, and the program does run correctly.
Sometimes if I copy text from another program, such as notepad, and paste it into Blitz3D, it displays the code I copied and pasted. Sometimes, it doesn't, though. When this workaround DOES work, I can click within the pasted code and see what I'm doing.
This is weird, and it makes me think (maybe?) the problem could have something to do with the way Blitz3D decides what color to draw text in. Like maybe it's drawing it the same color as the background. Is there a way to configure Blitz3D to use different colors?
This bug is still there in the latest build, at least on my computer. Again, I have already downloaded and installed the latest patch. If I click Help > About Blitz3D, it tells me it is Release Version IDE V1.87 Linker V.1.64 Runtime V1.87. This is the latest version, right?
Since Scott managed to get it to work, is it possible I need both the latest version AND protean's IDE file?
Thanks for any help!
