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 this global var name
and doesn't know what to do with it (I assume because of the slashes in the
var name).
I went back to Rev 4.0 and tried to edit a script; I get this error message:
| executing at 9:09:00 PM
Type do: error in source expression
Object Variables
Line do tStatement
Hint global
$COM_GOOGLE_CHROME_FRAMEWORK_SERVICE_PROCESS/USERS/PHIL/LIBRARY/APPLICATION_SUPPORT/GOOGLE/CHROME_SOCKET
|
Note the global name in the "Hint" line above:
COM_GOOGLE_CHROME_FRAMEWORK_SERVICE_PROCESS/USERS/PHIL/LIBRARY/APPLICATION_SUPPORT/GOOGLE/CHROME_SOCKET
I opened Terminal and typed "set" to see the vars defined, and there it was
with a value of "/tmp/launch-FbX6le/ServiceProcessSocket".
Now my question... How do I delete it from the Terminal command line? I don't
remember! Hellllpppp!
Has anyone else seen this?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
Thankfully a computer restart took care of it.

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 the
Variables tab, the variables displayed briefly then disappeared again.
I use Google Chrome as my main browser so I'll bet it was the same problem.
Out of interest, do you know what the variable name was?

Hi Paul,
Can you edit scripts OK? This reminds me of a weird LC problem I had a few
days ago that was caused by the existence of a global (an environment
variable created by Google Chrome apparently) that had slashes in the name.
It went away when I restarted my machine.

This problem is happening on my iMac, 10.6.7, with all versions of Rev and
LiveCode on my drive. None of them has a functioning Message Box. I can
type
in it, but cannot execute. I have no stacks in use, and no plugins loaded.
