If I use ctrl-click on links to open in new tab, the target page opens up a page with a content bar expanded on the left. The content bar is not closeable; I have to ctrl-R reload the page to make it go away. This happens for about 90% of the links I click – it’s not actually 100%, which is even weirder!

[=“Richard\_Hinckley, post:602, topic:126746”] Thanks, Nooxet! The normal Git Pull request procedure should apply here, you’d just be submitting comments instead of the usual bug fixes or new features. Our API reference is generated based on code comments, so yours would be included the next time we update the API ref, which is typically once per major release. As a side note, have you considered using Epic Online Services (EOS)? EOS is sort of “OSS 2.0”, and it does a lot of really powerful stuff. In case you’re interested, here’s the [top page](https://dev.epicgames.com/en-US/services), and the [top-level documentation page](https://dev.epicgames.com/docs/services/en-US/) for EOS. It also has its own API reference, samples, and thorough documentation. You can find more information about contributing to the engine here: [https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/…eal/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/ProgrammingAndScripting/ProgrammingWithCPP/DownloadingSourceCode/ContributingToUnreal/index.html) If you’d like to write snippets of sample code that we can use on specific API reference pages, instructions for that are here: [https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/…ets/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/ProgrammingAndScripting/ProgrammingWithCPP/DownloadingSourceCode/ContributingToUnreal/WritingCodeSnippets/index.html) And this page tells you how to get the latest engine code from Epic: [https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/…ets/index.html](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/ProgrammingAndScripting/ProgrammingWithCPP/DownloadingSourceCode/ContributingToUnreal/WritingCodeSnippets/index.html) Thanks again for your interest in our API reference! [/] Thanks for your reply, I will be making pull-requests soon. I had not seen the EOS system, I just got OSS to work, but it definitely looks interesting so I might indeed rewrite some stuff 🙂 I would also be happy to provide example code, as I often search for it myself when trying to understand how the engine works. Cheers ---

An observation, offered in the hope it’s constructive: The danger with code-extracted documentation is that it kinda looks like documentation, but sometimes, it really doesn’t fill the actual written documentation needs. ![documentation-for-keyboard-focus.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/3/d/3d390b02a4ba2c9c838ea9bf5915a70548a050a3.jpeg) This is the essence of auto-generated documentation with great style, and zero content. What does it mean to have keyboard focus? Is keyboard focus different from just “focus?” Can this function fail, and if so, what happens? What are the pre-requisites for using this function, and why would I want to use it? ![shrug-emoji-purple-brown-woman.jpg](https://d3kjluh73b9h9o.cloudfront.net/original/3X/e/1/e1a46692fc4cb47822acd991f4e7b9f876e0eef5.jpeg) If there at least were some breadcrumbs and “see also” on these documentation pages, it might save the situation, even if you can’t actually go in and write good prose for each and every function there is (which would be a lot of work, understood!) ---

According to the documentation [Play In Editor Settings | Unreal Engine Documentation](https://docs.unrealengine.com/en-US/BuildingWorlds/LevelEditor/InEditorTesting/Settings/index.html) there should be a setting for Standalone Window Size.

Usually the documentation work fine and it’s amazing! But now I’ve been trying to follow this doc for hours on end and it just doesn’t work. My computer was clean formatted, I tried on unreal 4.25.4 and 4.26, neither worked. Also I don’t get the same packaging options in my project, I don’t have ETC1. I fine combed the documentation, I’m inclined to think it needs a revision! Spec: Windows 10 with a Lenovo P1 2019 with a Quadro P2000.
