I recently discovered an interesting bug:
http://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16881
formattedrec and formattedtext do not work properly it their target is
in a stack that has not been opened.
So if you have a main stack A with a checkbox on the cd 1 and stack B is
a substack of stack A with fld 1 on its first card. Execute the
following code in the stack script of stack A:
open a fresh copy of livecode, and open stack A
execute the following:
put "Hello world" into fld 1 of cd 1 of stack "B" - works as expected
get the formattedrect of line 1 of fld 1 of cd 1 of stack "B" - fails
and returns 0,0,0,0 <======
answer the hilite of btn 1
As long a stack B has not been opened you will get bad results.
Now open substack B and close it.
execute the following again...
put "Hello world" into fld 1 of cd 1 of stack "B" - works as expected
get the formattedrect of line 1 of fld 1 of cd 1 of stack "B" - returns
58,42,114,56
answer the hilite of btn 1
So now open a fresh copy and livecode and open stack A
now execute the followng:
go invisible to stack "B"
put "Hello world" into fld 1 of cd 1 of stack "B" - works as expected
get the formattedrect of line 1 of fld 1 of cd 1 of stack "B" - fails
and returns 58,42,114,56
answer the hilite of btn 1 <==== gets a runtime error here because there
is no bnt 1 on cd 1 of stack "B"
So, how do you get the context set back to stack A?
Regards,
Mike
