Description

To reproduce this error:

  1. Click the "New AOZ Application" button
  2. Name it LocateTest
  3. Type in the following code:
Screen Open 0,640,200,16,Hires
Paper 0 : Pen 4 : Hide : Curs Off : Cls 0
Ink 1 : Box 0,0 To 639,199

For N=0 to 24
    Locate 0,N : Print "Line ";N;
    Wait Key
Next N
End

Then, run the application. You'll see a number of problems, including (but not limited to):

  1. A 640x200 screen that appears the size of a postage stamp.
  2. Attempting to locate beyond line 2 causes an "Illegal text window parameter" error.
  3. The fonts are too tall with too much space between the lines.

Work-Around:
Deleting the manifest, and replacing it with a copy from Help_1 corrects the problems. (A default Amiga manifest, I believe.)

Related Bug: Default mode is supposed to be Amiga 1200 emulation with AMOS Pro syntax.
When using the New button, instead, an apparently buggy version of a PC manifest with AOZ syntax is used.
