Hello All,

It happen to me many times that I can´t indent properly Jython code on the event script configuration panel.  
Any advice someone has to solve this?  
Maybe edit the code somewhere else and paste it there afterwards?

Cheers

Known issue when you use windows scaling other than 100%.

Doesn't happen in the project library, and it is generally a good idea to put your code in the library anyways. (Make the event a one-liner that delegates all of the parameters to a library function.)
