Raspberry Pi4 RISC OS 5.28
I've been getting some Buffer Overflow error messages so I thought
I'd investigate memory allocation.
I went to usual Task Manager far right of icon bar but it doesn't
list Task Display, only Info, Configure, Task Window & Shutdown.
Surely, this isn't normal.
Hi,
Raspberry Pi4 RISC OS 5.28
I've been getting some Buffer Overflow error messages so I thought I'd investigate memory allocation.
I went to usual Task Manager far right of icon bar but it doesn't list
Task Display, only Info, Configure, Task Window & Shutdown.
Surely, this isn't normal.

I think it is ... try clicking Select not Menu!

That's it. I was still in RiscOS 4 mode. Thanks to you and Chris.
Now, why am I getting Buffer Overflow.........?????
RO4.39 (and I suspect many predecessors) also used Select for Task
Display..
I suspect RO5 removed it from the menu because it was duplicated.
What! Clicking either Select or Adjust here in RISC OS 5.29 brings up the Task display. So that's one wasted button.
At least in RISC OS other side versions, clicking Select brings up Tasks while Adjust brings up Configuration... Very useful.
Yes I know it's in the 5.29 switcher menu, but why remove it from the
mouse click when now the mouse click adjust only repeats what select is doing.

Adjust does nothing on the Switcher icon by default in RO5, doesn't it?

It does here on my RISC OS 5.29 I've just checked again twice.
Clicking the Select mouse button with the pointer on the switcher brings forth the Tasks display.
Close the Tasks window...

I'm pretty sure clicking on the switcher with either Select or Adjust
has always opened the task display back all the way to RISC OS 3.1...
but I've had a Director filter on the Adjust-click since RISC OS 3.1
which opens a menu of current windows instead. :-)
(Which suggests that it has always been considered a 'spare' click,
since if it did anything useful Director wouldn't have overridden it by default - it would have used a modifier key of some sort.)

That's correct unless you have the very nice utility, Tamarc from Fred
Graute which enables the Adjust button to display the Configuration
window. This is the default setting but a Command obeyfile in Boot.Choices.Tamarc can be edited to enable CTRL, Shift and Alt keys to perform other actions. Left-Control Adjust-click on mine displays the TaskWindow although to be honest its no quicker than pressing CTRL-F12.
I use it on ARMX6 (RISC OS 5.29) and RPi (RISC OS 5.28) since Fred
created it back in 2018.
