IDE on Mac Retina Display - Cursor is not positioned correctly

Asked by Kumar

As I enter my commands on IDE the cursor gets out of sync with text.
Editing text is painful.

This has been asked (Question #244138).
But the workaround does not apply for me. I don't have any other display.

I am running IDE 1.1.0-Beta1
Build 2014-05-05-18

I am running IDE on
OS X 10.9.2

Model Name: MacBook Pro
  Model Identifier: MacBookPro10,1
  Processor Name: Intel Core i7
  Processor Speed: 2.4 GHz
  Number of Processors: 1
  Total Number of Cores: 4
Retina, 15-inch, Early 2013

You do not have an external monitor and I do not have any Mac with a Retina display - world is cruel ;-)

Possible, to run the machine in some non-Retina mode?

weird, but possible:
manage the images in the IDE and use another editor to edit the .py file contained in the .sikuli bundle.

I can not solve this problem, until I have a Retina display available or someone else with a Retina display fixes it in the sources.

I am trying to have both the IDE and an editor open to use IDE for images and the editor for editing Python script.
The changes I make in the editor are not reflected in the IDE. Any suggestion? Thanks.

The Sikuli IDE does not reload automatically, when the .py file is changed externally.
You have to manually close/open

You might run the script from command line, so every time the latest version is used.

Ok. Thanks.
My strategy is
1. Capture images using IDE
2. Create python scripts
3. Execute tests from command line.

When I am capturing images using IDE, the filenames are auto generated. Is it possible to chose the file names for images? I like to use some meaningful names.
Is there any recommendation for the Python development environment?
