A given transaction involves processing a user request, making two or three

This has been happening for years, it just may be more frequent now. I've
had a handler in my private backscript for probably 10 years that does
"unlock cursor" when I type "uc" in the message box. There's no consistent
recipe. My best guess is that it happens when the cursor is moving so fast

Graham,
I think what is happening is that when you run in the IDE the parent stack of
the answer dialog stack is the LiveCode engine, which sets a
platform-appropriate background color (or no background color) for all child
stacks. When you include it in a standalone, your stack-made-standalone

Hi Richmond,
Current Official Version Information
Version: R1/Alpha 4.1
Release date: November 14th, 2012
Computer platform: x86-32
Something that hasn’t seen an update since 2012
probably isn’t getting much traction at all.
I hope you find this information somewhat helpful.

Hi Craig,
You can "force" all the (open) IDE stacks to appear in the Project Browser:
in the menubar: "View" -> "Show IDE stacks in Lists"
Another way is to type in the msg box:
put the name of the mousestack
but do NOT press Enter yet.
Then place the cursor over the stack whose name you want
As a follow-up, is there anywhere a list of all IDE stacks? For example, the
stack named "answer dialog", though perfectly logical, is not listed
anywhere, and the names of some stacks, like the script editor, have changed
over the several LC versions.
It is a great way to get oneself in real trou
This is a great example of the maxim "Everything in LC is simply a stack"
