Dar, your stack is not broken. I reported this last week, and only a few people 
could reproduce it. I got the same results with a new stack. I suspect that 
people were not following my recipe, and so did not see the problem. Try this: 

1. Quit Livecode
2. Launch Livecode
3. Create new stack
4. Drag combo box into new stack
5. Get properties of combo box

You *should* get the same results. 

Jacque:
Your clients are seeing the problem I reported earlier, only I am not sure they 
know how they produced it. The reason only a few people are see in it, is 
because if you get ANY OTHER PROPERTIES first, the problem does not exhibit 
itself. At least this is what my tests revealed. That is why you MUST follow 
the above formula to see it. 

It may also be that other things will produce this, but I only know of this 
one. Once you successfully get the properties of an object, you will not see 
this problem until the next time you start Livecode.
