Nice catch! Happens on LC 5.5 latest release as well. I have noticed in the past that having the dictionary open tends to slow things down after a while. Bob On May 21, 2012, at 3:06 PM, Thunder wrote: > My system : Windows 7 and LiveCode 5.02 > > I do the following : > Start LiveCode > Open

Hi, Type this in the message box: edit script of stack "revdictionary" and type return. At the bottom of the script, you'll find the checkForAltKey handler. Replace it with the following script: on checkForAltKey if altKey() is "up" and sAltKeyDown is not false then ## Alt key

This does not address your question, but it might be related to your problem. Does your releaseStack check that the target is the one it thinks it is? Perhaps the message is sent to stack that does not handle it. Dar On May 21, 2012, at 1:35 PM, Jan Schenkel wrote: > Hi all, > > Is there an

Hi Andrew. Item 1 is not a bug. Livecode has to parse the entire array, and very large arrays will be sluggish. It would be better to check the contents of your array with a script and just put the element you are interested in in the message box, or else, if it is formatted right, that is the f
