[texworks] Bug in TeXworks version : 0.6.8 ("github") [r.6b1c6ab, 18/02/2023 10:42]

[Stefan Löffler]

Hi Philip,

thanks for reporting. It turns out 99.99 is the default maximum value 
for the control. I now set it to 99999.99, which should be more than 
sufficient for pretty much any "normal" application.
So this issue should be fixed in the latest development build.

Kind regards,
Stefan
