There is no syntax error in the reported statement. Can we see the whole handler that opens the second stack?

It may be that LC is looking for the stack in the defaultfolder, which is normally LC's application folder. But in that case I'd expect a "can't find stack" error.

She was not a well person. I think many of us received unfounded accusations about imagined offenses.

The dictionary suggests using selectionChanged to catch clicks in an unlocked field.

Do you want to delete a line when the user clicks it? The clickline function will tell you which line was clicked so you won't need a dialog. See "clickline" in the dictionary.

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.
