The editor in uPyCraft on my Mac is behaving strangely. When I paste the text of an example program into it, I don’t see the text. Rather, I see the last few characters in the last line in the program repeated at each line of the code. (For example, a 10-line program will show me 10 identical lines – each of which is the last few characters in the last line of the program)The program seems to execute fine and can be loaded onto my ESP32. However, editing is impossible because you can’t see the lines of text. Ant ideas?

Hi Matthew.
That’s very strange.
Can you show me a printscreen of the issue to better understand what is going on?
To share a picture, you can share a link to imgur, google drive, dropbox, or other.

Hi.
I received the picture via email.
I never faced that error before.
Try uninstalling and install it again to see if the issue goes away.

Has this issue been resolved? I’m having the same problem. Tried Uninstall/Reinstall to no avail.
Thanks,

Hi Mike.
I never received a reply. So, I don’t know if the issue was solved.
Are you using a MAC computer or windows? I couldn’t find any reference for that specific issue.
If unninstalling and installing again didn’t solve the issue, you can try experimenting with another IDE like Thonny IDE—check MicroPython eBook on page 317.
If you are used to using VS Code, you can also try VS Code with the PyMakr extension:

Hi Sara,
Thanks for your response. I’m using a Mac. I came across a few different posts on various forums suggesting that UpyCraft is not well supported. I usually use Spyder and Anaconda, but I went ahead and switched to VS Code with PyMakr and it’s working well. I used the tutorial you referenced and it was very helpful.
Thanks Again,
Mike
