VibeBasic 0.10.1

A bug hunt in the AI assistant, measured against a real local model (Qwen 27B on vLLM). Tasks solved at Thinking Low rose from 82% to 96%: form layouts from 64% to 91%, Ask AI on run-time errors from 80% to 100%.

Changed

• The Ask AI waiting window can be made bigger with the grip in its lower right corner; the box with the thinking and the answer grows with it. It keeps its place and size for the next request (until VibeBasic is closed).
• Every dialog can be moved by its title bar, as in Windows 98.

Fixed

• AI code merges never break your code: declarations no longer land inside a Type, Enum or #If block or in the middle of a continued line, multi-line procedure headers and Attribute lines are kept, End Sub is not doubled, a changed Dim replaces the old one, and #If blocks stay whole. A merge that would add syntax errors is refused and explained instead of applied.
• Thinking High failed on servers that only take low, medium and xhigh. A rejected level is now retried with the nearest one the server accepts, and Test Connection shows the levels the server takes (and picks Low for a new setup).
• Form mode no longer drops values silently: a value it cannot use goes back to the model with the valid ones (StartUpPosition, SSTab tabs, Boolean values, form-level changes), and clear intent is accepted as is.
• Syntax complaints quote the statement and show the expected form (Scale, Line, Circle, PSet, ListItems.Add). Code that still has syntax errors after the retry is marked in red and Cancel is the default.
• Ask AI on a run-time error now sees the values on the failing line and is told to handle them, not to hide the error.
• There was a gap of up to 3 seconds between the prompt and the waiting dialog in which you could start the program or a second Ask AI; a "Connecting..." dialog now covers it, and only one AI request runs at a time.
• The code check knows ListItem, ADODB.Recordset and ADODB.Connection members, read-only properties (WindowList, MDIChild) and Implements methods; the MDI event-name fix renames to MDIForm_.
• Placement and the layout check follow docked containers (a docked PictureBox on an MDI form).
• Small overflows (up to 240 twips) grow the form instead of costing another round; truncated answers are rejected.
• The preview diff uses bounded memory on big modules. The AI Log no longer shows a user name and password from the server address. Error texts say "this computer" on Windows and Linux.
• Windows: a running program's form could not be moved by its title bar. Windows resizes a new window to its scaled size, which rebuilt the title bar without its drag mark; the title bar now carries it each time it is built.
• Windows: F5, Ctrl+R and Shift+F5 in a running program reloaded its window, which went blank (WebView2's browser shortcuts). Those keys, and Ctrl+P, Ctrl+F, Ctrl+G, F3, F7 and Alt+Left/Right, no longer reach the browser in any window. The program still gets KeyDown for them, and F5 in the IDE still runs.
• Windows: a double click on a DirListBox folder did nothing, and so did DblClick on a TreeView or ListView. WebView2 fires no dblclick when the first click repainted the list.
• Windows: characters typed with AltGr (Norwegian @ £ $ { [ ] } €) raised no KeyPress, got past a MaskedEdit's mask, and did not start an edit in a DataGrid or the Properties window.
• DriveListBox.Drive read in Form_Load was "/" on Windows; the drives had not come yet. Reads now wait for them. DriveListBox also has List, ListCount and ListIndex, as in VB6.
• Kill of a read-only file deleted it on Windows; it is error 75, as in VB6. FileSystemObject.DeleteFile and File.Delete honour Force.
• Name "a.txt" As "A.TXT" (a new case only) was error 58 on Windows and macOS.
• GetAttr on Windows reports vbSystem and vbArchive, so it matches SetAttr. Dir(..., vbDirectory) leaves out hidden folders ($Recycle.Bin, System Volume Information) unless vbHidden is given; on Windows a folder named ".git" is not hidden.
• CurDir("D") gave the current drive's folder instead of drive D's.
• Make on Windows turns a device name (CON, NUL, COM1...) into "CON_", which Explorer can open and delete.

Added

• tests-live/: a live evaluation of the AI assistant against an OpenAI-compatible server (33 tasks, behaviour checks in the real run time), with a report.
