I must be losing it, I could have swore the previous versions saved the current size of the stack when closed and reinstated to that size when reopened. All versions open the stack window at the minimum size set in the stack properties. Is that correct please? Thanks Terry > On 16 Mar 2016

listBehavior and mouse btn 3

Hi All, I’m messing with listBehavior in fields really for the first time. I’ve set the listBehavior to true. All works well with mouse button 1… line highlights, code runs… But, while the code runs with mouse button 3 (right click), the line does not highlight. Am I missing a step, or is this

Re: ≠ or not equal

When I first started with LC, many of my handlers broke with "≠", and after a forum inquiry, I was told that LC is not HC, so use "<>". Well and good. but this was several versions ago, and I just tested again after all these years, and what do you know? "≠" works in v.6.8. I hate "<>". Cr

William, meanwhile I tested this in depth and must say that you are right with that: The formattedWidth and formattedHeight don't show the exact boundaries, as you wish. But from my knowledge of TeX I know, that this isn't obtainable for fonts that don't have an extremely optimized metric. This i

So the argument against a Zip based format is mainly the fact that zip support is via an external? The compressed arrayEncode format would still need somewhere to save it as a file. The biggest issue I can see with it is non-LiveCode engine based build tools will be more complicated to implement

Ah, the start center does (intentionally) close when you open a stack. But you can get it back from the Help menu. Note that most of the IDE functionality is disabled during the tour, so you won't actually be able to copy stuff to another stack. On Fri, Mar 18, 2016 at 9:30 PM RM wrote: > Wow!
