  Closing as not a bug, the object is not in the window area at the top-left of the layout.

  Looks fine here. It's probably a graphics card driver bug, have you tried updating your drivers?

  I didn't had this behaviour in the beginning, it suddenly started last week.

  So Construct 2 was working fine, then it suddenly broke even while you were using the same version? It might be a problem with your computer, such as failing hardware or buggy drivers. If there was a bug in Construct 2 where editing an action crashed the editor I'm sure we would be absolutely inundated with bug reports, but so far you're the only one who's reported it...

  The WebStorage object is actually very simple. Have you read the manual entry on WebStorage which briefly describes how to use it? It's also very similar to the Dictionary object (link has another brief description of how it works).

  That's very odd - are you sure it's not just because when you're zoomed in less of the game is showing actually on-screen? Anything offscreen generally isn't drawn.

  We've done benchmarks showing iOS 6 performs very well for HTML5 games - rarely if ever falling below 30 FPS on our standard Space Blaster performance test. iOS are market leaders in HTML5 support in their browser. But if you PhoneGap a game, it's still horribly slow.

  wildmoos - looks like the original issue in this thread was fixed back in June. You might want to post a new thread in the Bugs forum with a .capx reproducing the issue.

  You might be interested in this recent blog post where we noted on some hardware setups our HTML5 engine could actually beat the performance of our old native engine:

  https://www.scirra.com/blog/102/html5-games-faster-than-native

  So I don't think there is any problem with HTML5 being fundamentally limited in performance - it's just whether the quality of the implementation allows it to reach its full potential.

  Your framerate on Safari iOS 6 sounds unusually low - perhaps you could share your .capx so we can take a look? Our Space Blaster demo game can average 45 FPS and rarely drops below 30 FPS on both an iPad 2 and 3, even using retina mode.

  A good way to monetise HTML5 games at the moment is to contact game publishers and sell your game to them for their use. Sites like MarketJS are helping make this happen. For larger games you could also consider using the Javascript SDK to plug in your own payment system for IAP in the browser.

  Your link to a .capx does not seem to be working for me. Could you try Dropbox? (Tends to be the most reliable free file host)

  HappyJackie - can you share your .capx, including details of precisely when it crashes and the steps to make it happen?

  I believe Ludei have already fixed the tiling problem for their next release. However note you should also use one single tiled background object extended over the whole area for performance reasons: it can be N times faster than separate tile objects, where N is how many tiles you have on screen! (So possibly 10x faster or more)

  Closing this report now, please make a separate thread for any other issues.

  directCanvas is not yet supported on Android, only iOS. It should be coming soon though. In the mean time try using CocoonJS which works on Android.
