issues with 1.9.7rc1

hello NodeBox world,

I've recently upgraded to Mac OSX 10.8 and installed the experimental build (1.9.7rc1).

Everything works as expected, with two small exceptions:

1. the canvas cannot be scrolled unless I have a mouse (without one, the scrollbars disappear)
   

2. the linecap and linejoin hacks (using the native nsBezierPath) don’t work anymore:

   path._nsBezierPath.setLineCapStyle_(style)
path._nsBezierPath.setLineCapStyle_(style)

Any idea about how to fix these issues?

Thanks in advance, Gustavo.

   Hey Gustavo,

   About the canvas scrolling: that's correct (and annoying!). I've added a GitHub issue that tracks this, and I'll fix it for an upcoming release.

   About the linecap / linejoin hack: you no longer need the hack. capstyle and joinstyle are now context attributes, just like fill or stroke. Here's an example:

   nofill()
   stroke(0)
   strokewidth(5)
   
   autoclosepath(False)
   capstyle(SQUARE) # BUTT, ROUND or SQUARE
   joinstyle(ROUND) # MITER, ROUND or BEVEL
   
   beginpath()
   moveto(50, 100)
   lineto(100, 150)
   lineto(50, 230)
   endpath()
   

   Best,

   F

   thanks, it works great.

    I'm calling these commands from an external file, so I'm using integers
    instead of keywords -- for ex `ctx.capstyle(2)` to get
    `capstyle(SQUARE)`.

    also, I've discovered that if you resize the NodeBox windows (for
    example make the code pane narrower), the scroll bars will briefly
    reappear. and if you're fast enough, it is possible to grab them and
    scroll the canvas. :)

    thanks for all your work on NodeBox. cheers, Gustavo.

   Seems like the perfect workaround :-)
