Interesting. I wonder, doesn’t it violate the usefulness of autocomplete if

Yes, it very much supports your point.
What tickled me about it was his attempt to quantify the challenge of
keeping a large-scale conspiracy under wraps.
Personally, I wouldn't have chosen the Snowden story as the baseline;
too much still unknown and relatively little corroborated. Iran-Con

Hi Bill,
probably best in this instance to refer to the dragLeave entry in the
dictionary - "Sent when the mouse pointer moves out of an object during a drag
and drop." So, this is relevant to all controls including the scrollbar,
but perhaps not in the way you would think immediately.
PS, you can
Hi BR,
Sorry, I should have been more clear. The "hiliteChanged" is a **message**
related to the segmented control. In your screenshot, you have applied the
"property" filter, thus this message is not shown. Remove the "property"
filter and this message will appear.

Hi BR,
The main difference between the segmented control between LC 8.x and 9.0 is
that:
- In LC 8.x you can select **exactly** one segment
- In LC 9 this has changed (--> enhanced) and you can select 0 or more
segments
See the properties "toggleHilites" and "multipleHilites" in LC 9.0 DP-9.
