Blank Screen on Python Script Tool

Hi, I've been using the Python Script tool but the window won't let me input any data. The first time it worked great and ran the script but now I can't edit it. I've tried creating new tasks and even reinstalling Robotask but it shows just a blank unwritable screen (see attached file).
How can I fix it?
Thanks.

Hi, try to do the following:
- run regedit.exe
- open the HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\TaskAutomation\RoboTask\Settings\Plugins\ScriptTools key
- remove the TfrmScriptActionBase and TfrmPythonScriptAction subkeys

Everytime I open and close a Python Script Action to edit it, the lower margin starts getting closer to the upper margin; so when I reach aprox. 6 edits it no longer shows the code window.
I don't know if it happens just to me or it's a bug.
Anyway, I can fix it deleting the TfrmPythonScriptAction on regedit for now.

It seems we have found the problem
The couple questions:
- - What scale of RoboTask do you use? (Options->Scale)
- What system size of text do you use (context menu on desktop -> Display settings)
We will release the patch in nearest time

Hi Oleg, the scale I'm using on Robotask is 125% and the text size is 100%
For now I'm able to make it work blocking permissions to the edition of that subkey in specific.
