Cursor Menu - Dialogs skewed about imagebbs HOT 5 CLOSED

This must have been a work in progress todo item. I have also seen the number of entries are limited that are able to show up on the screen that you add, once the 5, 6 or 7 entries are there the cursor selection no longer grabs the correct entry after a certain number and gets thrown off by 1 line when selecting it or if you added to many items they just do not show up on the list.

X-Tec mentioned in a different forum that this was due to the sysop screen being opened. Pressing f1 to hide it in full screen mode (or being a remote user) will have a corrected representation of the cursor menu

In the GF section, using the f1 key to switch in and out of full screen mode works fine but if you want to make it automatic, in +.GF insert &,18,0 at the beginning of line 3000 and insert &,18,1 in line 3235 just before the goto1811.

Doing a similar change in +.IM will resolve the screen slewing off the top in that application as well.

I am able to reproduce the issue without using any mentioned changes and it works UNTIL. Maybe the problem description is mis-understood. I added 9 entries in my Movie Files directory from the main GF menu called Movie Files inside the directory I have a max limit of 9 movie files showing. If I cursor to the Maintenance option it grabs the Return to Main Menu code If I choose the Other Options it grabs the Maintenance Options code. This is caused by having 9 entries or more listed which is causing the entire menu to bump up lines ex if I had 15 movies listed the top menu would scroll off the screen and cause cursor locations for what it thinks it is on is way off. So the max entries is going to be 8 in order for it to work correctly and the 8th entry would need to be another directory link entry to show more movies. I do not have the BBS screen showing when this occurs and this makes it an issue for the SysOp unless they understand the reason of the limitation running from local logon mode.

This issue can be closed. The fixes after r2 disk contains a mod to +.GF to switch between full screen mode and split screen mode when entering and exiting the GF section.
