Hi Thunkers,

what happened to the get width,computed width, height, computed height of the selected screen?

Have these blocks been removed from the interface?

Noticed the same issue. Broke down my app’s layout. 😕

I used it for getting the width of a column within my screen, and based on this number, to scale images (their height) within the column to the right size. For some reason, the usual get width of a column didn’t work, but get computed width worked. I wonder if this should be reported as a bug.

Broke mine as well. I was also using it in several places to dynamically create sizing of clones. interestingly, one of the broken blocks changed to get color in its place.

Anyway, I managed a workaround (and maybe a better) method by replacing these blocks to device; get screen width/height instead.

my question was a little more about the entire model where things can change at any time without a chance to fix first and break apps in the name of interface improvements or delevlopment. Certainly that would be major cause for concern in any commercial application.

I am actually hoping is IS a bug because otherwise I really need to think the whole ‘middle man’ concept.

You should look at “Device”
