Hi, I just got started using psychopy on Mac.
Could someone help me how to change the size of the code name window? Somehow it got very large, and I cannot seem to make it smaller.
OS: MacOS 10.12.6
PsychoPy version: 1.85.2
Standard Standalone? (y/n): y
Haha, sorry about that. It was a bug in 1.85.2.
Download the new 1.85.3 and it should be fixed 
jon, thank you very much for your quick reply. But, here is what happened.
What did I do wrong? And what can I do? I can live with the not-resizable window for now, but want to start PsychoPy2.app so that I can continue programming.
Thanks.
I used MacOSās timemachine to go back older version of the PsychoPy app annd updated it using zip file (the step 2 in the previous report). I will stay here for a while.
If it is useful for you to take a look at appData.cfg and userPrefs.cfg when the start-up error occurred, please let me know. I will send it to the mailing list.
Thanks!
I had the same problem, but found using 1.85.3 in Japanese causes this.
Try changing locale setting to another language in 1.85.2 or earlier, then launch the 1.85.3.
Ah, yes, it looks like the latest standalone is broken when set to the Japanese locale. If you set your >preferences>app>locale to be English (either en_GB or en_US) then you should be able to load the app and the name box should be correct.
@hsogo12600 Any idea why the 1.85.3 release breaks in Japanese locale? I donāt think I added any new params to _translate(). You can test from the branch r1.85 in the repository.
thanks all
Changing locale to English (US or New Zealand) in my current version (1.85.3) did not make a difference.
And now I think I may have mislead you about this problem. I can resize the code window but not the size of the code-name window independently from the script-window. Perhaps, showing it would be better than writing about it. So I uploaded the screen capture to Youtube.

It may come to that Iām just wishing if I could expand the script-window larger size (such as 80% of full screen) so that I can read my long script at once.
Actually I already understood the issue youāre having. Iāve seen it myself before, but Iām not seeing it now, and Iām afraid I donāt know why you are.

Good to know that I did not miscommunicate the issue.
I will install psychopy into other Macs and Windows PCs in September, and report back to you if the same issue is replicated or not.
Appreciate your help!
Sorry for late response.
Today I pulled main branch from upstream and installed it using pip.

I donāt have time to test standalone version right now, but Iāll try it as soon as possible.

Iāve tested standalone 1.85.2 and 1.85.3b on my Japanese Windows 7 PC. Both works fine.
Then I run git bisect on my python 2.7 environment on Japanese Windows 10 and found that following commit causes this problem.
https://github.com/psychopy/psychopy/commit/e6a1eddd9e7fd6e663cc35e9be3249cdd993f312
In this commit, āunicode=Trueā option was removed from trans.install() in psychopy/app/localization/__init__.py. Reverting this line, problem was solved.
-trans.install(unicode=True)
+trans.install()
I checked psychopy/app/localization/__init__.py of standalone 1.85.3 for Windows and found that āunicode=Trueā was not removed. This is the reason why standalone 1.85.3 doesnāt show this error, I think.
Guessing from title of this commit, is this modification necessary to support python3?
ā
Hiroyuki
I confirmed that trans.install() is actually gettext.install() and āunicodeā option of gettext.install() is removed in Python3. unicode=True is necessary to output translated string in unicode in Python2.
Iāve sent a pull request to fix this problem.

Hiroyuki
Thanks Hiroyuki. Iāve pulled the fix into the repository version. The changes to support Python3 are going to result in a few errors like this I expect. :-/
Just to clarify, does this fix the problem in the original post (with the name box being too big) or just the latter issue you had with the error message?
My commit fixes just the problem 1.85.3 crashes in Japanese environment.
I didnāt experienced the big-name-box issue with 1.85.3.
