Browser Widget

Post by TR-i » Sat Jan 08, 2022 10:46 pm

I recently updated both MacOS (to Monterey) and Livecode (to 10.x). I'm now experiencing performance issues with the Browser widget.

For example: Run "https://pixijs.com" in Safari. Then create a Browser widget in Livecode and set the URL to "https://pixijs.com". Compare result.

My project, which addresses WebGL through the widget is displaying even worse timing delays.

Anyone else experiencing this?

Confirmed - in liveCode 9.6.5 and web widget, https://pixijs.com doesn't render that fanciful background it does in a browser.

it seems to be a webGL fail in general - for example the following site fails even more spectacularly: https://webglsamples.org/blob/blob.html

@TR-i / @stam: That issue sounds like https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=23394 - this is fixed in 9.6.6-rc-1 (and that fix will be included in the next DP of 10).

The issue is not with Livecode itself, but conflict with Monterey. Tested on 2 identical hardware systems. Only difference is the OS version. Here's a comparison:
