Well I haven't tried Linux but this behavior happens on both Mac and Windows.
And Paul, thanks for the card script idea. I started out trying things in the card script but when I got the sporadic behavior I decided it was because a card is technically not a control. Not sure about that. In any event I'm sorry to report the script you've given me still isn't stopping the cursor from remaining a circle with a line through it without changing to the plus sign. I'll continue to experiment. Have you tried really slowly dragging a file onto a stack window from the desktop to see if it changes to the circle with a line through it even though you've got this in your card's script: on dragEnter set the dragAction to "copy" end dragEnter On May 10, 2013, at 11:55 AM, Alejandro Tejada wrote: > Hi Ray, > > > Ray Horsley-2 wrote >> [snip] >> The new thing I've discovered is I can consistently break Livecode's >> accepting the drop, >> evidenced by the cursor turning into a circle with a line through it >> instead of a plus sign, >> if I drag extremely slowly right at the point where I stop dragging across >> the desktop >> and start dragging over the stack window.
