Bug in CreatePort()

This bug shows up if CreatePort() is used together with @DISPLAY {Hidden=True}.
Here's a simple example:
Code: Select all
@DISPLAY {Hidden=True}
CreatePort("GUIPORT")

On what platforms does this occur?

This is happening on OS4.
I'll try testing on Windows later today.

This is actually not a bug, but a feature (although it isn't documented anywhere). On some systems the message mechanism requires an open window so that is why Hollywood currently blocks
CreatePort() on all system if the current display is not visible. This might change in the future, though.
