I think one way to fuck up the error dialog is to supress messages when closing stacks by script, and then an error happens. At least this was a case I had about 3 years ago. There migth have been other particular settings or behaviour that triggered it, I don't remember exactly.
And Rev error reporting is ass in general, not only when it fails to work as intendet :P On 19 Jul 2011, at 17:55, Richard Gaskin wrote: > Mark Schonewille wrote: > > > Richard, > > > > Since you are a professional LiveCode programmer, just like me, > > I know that you know that one may see an error code of the form > > ###,###,###,xxxx once in a while, where # is a number and x is > > a letter.
