Re: Is this a bug or am I missing something?

Mark, Thanks for the clarification but if you have the patients to explain a bit further it would be appreciated. When the sub stack field has the focus, the “long name of the focused object” refers to a card of the main stack (at least there is no reference to a sub stack). For the first

Re: Is this a bug or am I missing something?

John- Buttons can't receive focus. The focus of your mainstack is on the only control that can receive a focus, the result field. And it doesn't matter that you have clicked in the substack first. The act of clicking in the menu shifts the focus to the main stack. What you are seeing in the resu

I just tried the same thing using versions 6.6.2 and 5.0.2 with the same result so I am guessing that I am missing something given this is how it has worked for a long time. Apparently the combination of “name” with the “focusedObject” doesn’t do what I would intuitively think. It still see

Re: quotes question

The first one is correct. Quote object names and values, do not quote variables. You can get away without quoting object names, but the code is more readable, and avoids (remotely) possible variable/object conflicts. Bob S On Oct 8, 2014, at 09:30 , la...@significantplanet.org
