Build 1392 fixed the Chrome variable problem for LC 4.6.1, but no previous version of LC works on my machine in the current user. By "not working" I mean that I cannot type in the Message Box, and I cannot check the variables in the Script Editor. The workaround for me at the moment is to switch us

Re: Cannot use Message Box

I too am thinking this Message Box problem is somehow related to problems with the Script Editor. When I open a script, I cannot display the variables. When I click on the Variables tab, I get $Apple_PubSub_Socket_Render displaying for a brief moment and then whichever tab was selected previousl

Re: Cannot use Message Box

In my case, I continue to have the problem (cannot execute from Message Box) after restarting the computer, and launching LiveCode without having launched Chrome. (I wonder if Chrome is doing something without having been launched.) So, I used fast user switching, switched to another user and laun

There is a bug in LC that is revealed when Google Chrome gets an update. It make a $variable dirty. If you restart your computer the issue will go away. Mark Waddingham is aware of the issue. -Mark Canela Software On May 7, 2011, at 4:45 PM, Pete wrote: > Hi Phil, > I'm thinking my probl

Re: Cannot use Message Box

As a workaround, I created a LC plugin (Mac only) that executes this code at IDE startup time: -- stack script command removeBadGlobals put the globals into tList if slash is not in tList then send "closeMe" to me in 1 tick exit removeBadGlobals end if -- something has

Hi Pete, Chrome is my default browser too. Here is what I posted when it happened: Apparently Google Chrome defined a global on my Mac that is crippling all my versions of LiveCode. LC can't do ANYTHING that requires dealing with globals - like opening the script editor - because it runs into t

Hi Phil, I'm thinking my problem was the same as yours. If I right-clicked a control then selected the Edit Script option, the cursor changed to a watch and no script editor window was displayed. Repeated the same thing and I got a script editor window. I could edit scripts OK but if I clicked t

Hey Paul, I just today ran into almost the exact same problem running on my Mac with any version of LC, along with some other very weird behavior. As a last resort I restarted my Mac and all works OK again. If you haven't restarted recently, give it a try. Pete Molly's Revenge

Cannot use Message Box

Ever since I installed version 4.6.1, the Message Box no longer responds to Return or Enter. I can type in it (both single and multi-line) but cannot execute anything. Weirdly, this also happens now with previous versions. I have made no changes to a utility stack I keep in the back, and this occu
