1. I update MacOS to 26.2 and the Multi-Line selection of text is still not working.
2. Do you find the issue with complex structs I reported in #869

Yes, I found and fixed the issue with your complex structure, I'm going to do a release later today that should also fix the text selection issue (hopefully, can't verify myself).
Apologies if this is already raised. With Spin Tools IDE 0.50.0, I get
when hovering over .sine1, .sine2, .sine3 labels in column one, but not when hovering over label SINE. Here's my code:-
DAT { PASM2 code }
org
SINE
' Fill BUFFER with an i-q sinewave - triggered by ATN
waitatn ' wait for the go-ahead
getct _cyclestart ' mark the start time
rdlong ptrb, ptra[BUFFERPTR] ' set ptrb to point to BUFFER
push ptrb
mov _sigbuffsize, ##sigbuffsize
sub _sigbuffsize, #1
shl _sigbuffsize, #3
add ptrb, _sigbuffsize ' ptrb points to last sample in the BUFFER
rdlong _real, ptrb++
rdlong _imag, ptrb
mov _sampleangle, ##binangle
mov _binangle, _sampleangle
pop ptrb
mov _sigbuffsize, ##sigbuffsize-4 ' make allowance for preload
wrfast #0, ptrb ' set up FIFO for writing to BUFFER
rep @.sine1, #4 ' preload the cordic engine
setq _imag ' for 4 samples

add _binangle, _sampleangle

setq _imag ' send another rotate to cordic
qrotate _real, _binangle

This release updates the SWT library to the latest Eclipse 4.38 release that should fix the MacOS text selection issue.
Some bugfixes, including the complex structure example posted by @wummi, the mouse hover issue above and the parameters range check on some PASM instructions.
Added font selection for the file browser, objects tree and overview panels (all shares the same preference), in Preferences -> General -> Font, the default should be the OS theme default.
For MacOS users, I have updated the Github runners to MacOS-15 becase the previous x86_64 version was deprecated, and in few months the x86_64 runners will be dropped so I won't be able to produce x86_64 Mac builds, hope this doesn't cause any problem.
Other changes:
Update to Eclipse SWT 2025-12 (4.38)
Fixed long-align check on structure members
Added nested structure members suggestions
Fixed structure size update and circular references
Thank you, Marco. The outline is much easier for me to read using Consolas and a slightly bigger size.
A niggly thing... It would be nice if there were more contrast between the icon colors in the object view. Would it be possible to use the folder icon colors from Propeller Tool? I poked around your GitHub repository and found that those icons are 16x16 PNGs. In the spirit of "Help me help you" (great line from the movie, Jerry Maguire) I downloaded the object tree icons and made versions that use Propeller Tool colors. They're a bit simpler with less shading, but I think this will help the contrast so that identifying local versus library files will be easier.
Thanks for considering, and thanks, again, for the update. I'm sure I speak on behalf of a lot of forum members when I say that we sincerely appreciate everything you're doing with Spin Tools IDE, and being open to user requests.

Will look at it.
