Hi Bob,
It was Toplevel not Modal. I removed all controls one by one - no go. I
opened it in version 8 , still the same.
Was going back to six but I tried a long shot - and prayed.
I set the scale factor back to 1 (I'm developing on a height of 1280) and
the controls could be seen. Then I put th

Doubtful. If ESR is right about its "at least six mutually incompatible
versions... and the absence of several ASCII punctuation characters... (exac

Ahah! I've seen in version 8 where I drop a control and it never ends up where
I actually drop it. Also, the card is overlayed with a blue color, something LC
never did before.

Hi all.
I, like a moron, put a value into the message box usign the form "put x"
without the "into message". Now I cannot find where that bit of code is. Is
there a place I can modify the code that does that to either break or else save
the calling program a log file?

NVM I figured out a way to do this. I set gRevDevelopment to true, then set a
breakpoint on the first line of revInitialise of the behavior of field
"message" of card "Single Line" of stack "Message Box". At that point I was
able to use the Handler List popup menu in the script editor to find th

Is this a problem that can be rectified inwith LiveCode, or do I have to

No: the lineHeight is not set to fixed.

On Windows, I can launch a subprocess using:
open process tHelperApp for text update
And I get a subprocess that does not appear as a separate running app to
the user. They do not see it appear in the task bar. There is no
apparent change to the running app that launched the helper. It just
shows
Hi Paul,

is well - no indication of its execution is visible to the user of my

If all you were looking for was incidences of:
put tVar
you could always just open the 'Find and Replace' from the Edit menu,
select This stack, tick the 'Reg. Expression' box and search for:
^put \w+$
I know you'll know what this means but for those not so familiar with regex:
^ = start of li
Oh I never thought of using regex! I understand the principle but I'm not so
clear on all the options and how they interact. I tried reading up on it once
but my brain began to hurt so I backed off. :-)

OK, I am NOT a regex expert, but ...
wouldn't that give you other lines like
put tVar into myVar
should it not be simply
^put \w$
so that you don't get all the other put statements ... that "+" allows
any number (>=1) of words.
And even then, you will miss
if x = y then put tVar

I tried with a field set to zapfino (the most vertically expansive font I have)
14, text height 6.
I’m seeing that in LC 8.1.2 on Mac, that with the field fixed line height off
things look right, showing wide line height and no attenuation. With fixed line
height on, LC pushes all the text off
or when someone hangs extra characters on the end of a word for no reason,
like "dialogue"
