Build 293.10 - Release version

Hi, just found a weird and unusual bug:
If you put a string and try loading the Timer value (eg: Str$(Timer) ) on it you'll get a black rectangle in the place of the string if you don't have any other objects in the frame.
Oddly enough adding any other visible object doing nothing to the frame solves the issue, but removing it will make the issue appear again.
(seems that it only works for graphical objects except UI elements. So Active, Backdrop, Counter, it works when these are in the frame, but for example a Button won't do it)

I can't reproduce this. Maybe provide an MFA, in case it's something to do with your MFA's precise settings.

Default settings, just a single String and a Always event setting it to Str$(Timer).
Seems like any graphics object will make it work, even if you have two Strings instead of a single one.
But still, if you have only one object and it's a string showing the Timer, it will fail.

"Keep screen ratio" in window properties seems to don't work with ultra wide screens. The screen is stretched...

Are you resizing the frame window with Window Control object?
I know that Window Control object has some trouble with certain resolutions and will just stretch instead in some situations.

"Enable debugger keyboard shortcuts" on App Settings Properties seems to not be hooked to anything.
It doesn't do anything, there are no debugger keyboard shortcuts, or at least, there's no mention about it anywhere else.
Even Francois have said once that there was no "debugger keyboard shortcuts", so I'm now asking what's that about, if it's somehow broken or was never fully implemented.

IIRC certain F keys (F2?, F3?) control things like "pause" and "resume" while the debugger is open. I remember disabling that checkbox long ago because they were preventing me from using those keys for my own purposes.

F2 restarts the app and it's defined on the App's menu bar. "Enable debugger keyboard shortcuts" won't affect it.
And F3 does nothing ...?
I just don't understand why Francois would said that there is no debugger keyboard shortcuts, you can search the forum for it and you'll find he mentioning it, other than that you'll only find confused people.

Build 288.2 - Change log
------------------------
...
...
...
- Debugger: keyboard shortcuts are (at last) implemented (Ctrl+F8 = Pause, F10 = Step, F8=continue, Shift+F8 = Quit, F2 = Restart, Ctrl+O = Add object)

---

Source: http://www.clickteam.com/webftp/files/mmf2/ChangeLogs/288.2.final.txt

F2 does indeed work regardless of the checkbox (perhaps that's a bug), but I can confirm that F8 and Ctrl-F8 are affected by the checkbox (I remember now that wanting to reclaim F8 was the reason I unchecked this checkbox long ago). Needless to say, the [lack of] documentation in the Application Properties panel leaves a lot to be desired.

IIRC F2 is defined in menu, if you delete this item it will has no effect.
