[Gambas-user] Replacement for TextEdit or a RichText conversion

[Rolf-Werner Eilert]

Thank you Bruce, that did it, at least on my Kubuntu 20 laptop at home. 
It installed couple more libraries with it, and it runs flawlessly.

On the Ubuntu Mate 18 PC in the office, after installing gb.qt5.ext, the 
Gambas IDE wouldn't start. It said, gb.qt5.webkit was missing, so I 
installed that too.

Now it runs, but in the IDE, Panels are shown with a black background, 
not transparent/gray. Programs are running fine, however, from the IDE 
and as binaries. And I tried to change the libraries to qt4 and to 
gb.gui etc., but the IDE stays ugly.

In another program in the office, I used the Editor, and it seems it 
isn't included in gb.qt5.ext. So I switched back to qt4 and qt4.ext 
because it is essential in that project. Is it somewhere else now?

Regards
Rolf
