Alas, I have this glitch too. It only appears to happen on 64 bit systems though.

I'm hoping someone with squeak experience will dive in and take a look. It's not clear if the problem is within Scratch itself or the Squeakvm. Our only Squeak dev is tied up with 2.0 stuff though, so we won't be able to fix it I'm afraid.

why don't you ask around the AT like what you did when trying to move Scratch to the newer version of squeak?

Is there away to change the default windows size when Scratch starts up? Then Scratch would at least fill the screen a little better. Where is the Scratch .image file located.

Cool. This will make it much easier next time I mess up my computer (which is unlikely), it will make it easier to install Scratch. Usually if I mess up my computer, I use Ubuntu as my main OS until I can be bothered to install Windows (8 because I deleted the recovery partition to speed things up for dual booting) and reinstall GRUB bootloader.

It's now in: /usr/share/scratch/Scratch.image

Thanks, is there away to change the default windows size when Scratch starts up? Then Scratch would at least fill the screen a little better.

Before: 1423809 scratchers
After: 2958491 scratchers

Not that I'm aware of - but you could probably ask some of the squeak hackers in the AT forums. In fact, I was hoping one of them could take a look around the Scratch.image, and see if anything can be done to fix this (or at least figure out if the problem is caused by something in the squeak VM or something in Scratch itself).

You could probably turn fill screen off and simply re-size ScratchFrame.

When you save the image it turns back on fell screen so, which re-sizes the Scratch frame back to the size of the window.

I did some troubleshooting and found that if I right-click on the .image file and click open-with squeak there are no problems re-sizing the window, but full screen mode does not work. I was able to save the image in a proper windows size.

Yes!!!  Finally!

Trying to install on debian so downloaded the deb file and dpkg -i it but it doesn't install a squeak vm. Add sqeakvm.org to apt sources.list and get squeak but then apt-get complains about scratch and removes it. dpkg -i again and scratch runs but if I try and use the open command on the menu get errors appearing so it needs more bits installed. Its gotta be easier than this surely?

This is great for Rasberry Pi users!
