LC finds words by looking for spaces between words. If there is no space after a bracket then LC thinks the bracket is part of the word. I'm not sure if this will work, but try "find trueword" instead of "find word". It isn't in the dictionary but it might work. The keyword "trueword" ignores punctu...

If I remember right, LC only shows the family name in the Font menu, which isn't necessarily the name of the individual variations. Look at the font in a font utility to see the actual names of the different styles and assign your controls with those. LC says if you set text to bold, for example, an...

Setting the enclosing group's layermode to "scrolling" will allow it to work with acceleratedRendering.

Because DRAGDELTA will affect the DRAG commands but not the GRAB command. These two are completely different things. My first attempt used "set the loc of me to the mouseloc" instead of using grab, which was smooth enough on my Mac, but then I noticed that grab calculated the mouse offset automatic...

How the fudgums is chummy, the newbie, going to find out stuff like that?

By typing "drag" into the dictionary search field? Or looking at the "related" entry?

Similar but a bit shorter: local sDragging on dragStart put true into sDragging end dragStart on mouseMove if sDragging then grab me end mouseMove on mouseUp if not sDragging then -- do click stuff end if put false into sDragging end mouseUp The default dragDelta is 4 so you probably don't need to c...

There's a "redraw" item in the Glossary portion of the Dictionary window.

That makes more sense. And here I was about to get all excited.

I don't see a redraw command in the dictionary. I do see three commands that are either inactive or apply only to specific controls like the (deprecated) Browser.

LC creates a temporary signing certificate when you build a standalone with "sign for development" but it only works for you. Others won't be able to open the app until it's signed and notarized, unless they manually approve it in system prefs.

When the Search feature disappears from the bottom of my script editor window it invariably requires a new preferences file. I keep some already customized backups handy to save time since this happens with more regularity than seems reasonable... but with no recipe that I can see (yet.) The recipe...

Wow! Fantastic.

What would I do without you guys. The seriousness and depth of your contributions is uplifting.

And all the subStacks as well? Yes. If you set the mainstack text styles and not anything else in the hierarchy, substacks will inherit the text styling from the mainstack. I do this when I want to change the font or font size for everything in a stack file. I can then change individual styles in f...

It still sounds to me like the mainstack was set to bold. That's the only thing I know of that would change all other fields everywhere. Craig, if you want to send me the stack I can look. Most helpful would be the version before it got "fixed". Edit: Sounds a little like this : https://quality.live...

Try this: In the contents pane of the PI select all the text and choose Plain from the IDE menu. That will remove all character level styling. Now the font property pane, which is field level styling, should act as you expect. Or if the field is editable you can select the text directly there instead.
