Hi Andreas,

I've got a really strange bug here. The following code does not work with OS 4.1 (the text gets destroyed in the interval):

Code: Select all

EnableLayers()
SetFont("DejaVu Sans.font", 16)
CreateTextObject(1, "This is a test")
InsertLayer(1, #TEXTOBJECT, 1, #CENTER, #CENTER)
Function p_TimeInterval()
    SetLayerStyle(1, {Text = GetTime(TRUE)})
EndFunction
SetInterval(10, p_TimeInterval, 1000)
Repeat
    WaitEvent
Forever

There are two ways of working around this problem.

1) Remove the SetFont() line, and use the default font.

OR

2) Use DisplayTextObject() instead of InsertLayer()

Yes, that's definitely a bug. I've fixed it. Thanks for the report!
