Down arrow acting as Up arrow with Option or Command

[kaveh1000]

I have an erratic problem that appears from time to time. I am using the latest 9.0.2 Community and Community Plus. And using Mojave.

The down arrow key works correctly by themselves, or with the shift key. But when Option or Command are down, the down arrow key acts like an up arrow. So Command down selects from the current cursor position to the top of the file.

I have tried a new stack with a new field, and the same thing happens. Had this a while ago and somehow it resolved itself, but is now back.

Any ideas welcome.

Hi.

How are your arrowKeys currently configured? (navigationArrows?)

I have not configured navigationarrows and left as default.

typing

Code: Select all

put the navigationArrows

in message box returns "false"

Hi,
It also doesn't work with LC indy 9.0.1 but with a different behavior. Arrow down select directly after last char of the field, arrow up select before the previous line

Hi folks

To continue my problem with arrow and modifiers on a Mac, if you are a mac user pls try the attached minimal example. When I press command down arrow, cursor moves to top of field.

Thanks.

So, here I am with my swanky, new, black Mac mini running Mojave
which my younger son bought me for a present . . .

[Sorry, couldn't let the opportunity pass on that one.]

Indeed, when "press command down arrow, cursor moves to top of field" . . .

in LC 9.0.2.

I mucked up your stack by adding a field and this in the cardScript:

Code: Select all

on rawKeyUp RD
   put RD into fld "f1"
end rawKeyUp

and when I press the DOWN arrowKey by itself I get 65364

and when I press the arrowKey while holding the COMMAND (Apple) key down I get the same value.

Which is NO help at all.

Congratulations on the new Mac, Richmond

It is of help, in that I know I am not alone, and that the problem is not related to other scripts in my stack. Look forward to any more comments.

Reproduced here too. Looks like a bug to me, Cmd-down and Cmd-up both place the insertion point at the beginning of the text.

Cmd-right/left act as expected and move the insertion point to the beginning or end of the current line.

I feel I have gone up a notch, having found a bug, and with the great LC brains agreeing with me.

Can you guide me as to where and how to report this?

Go here: http://quality.livecode.com You'll need to open a (free) account, the bug database doesn't use any of your existing LC credentials.

Welcome to the club, the team loves bug reports.

Sorry folks. I need to report a bug on the bug reporting page. I get a warning as attached, but there is no Desktop OS field.

There IS, please take a closer look!
It is somewhere on the line of nr. 4, depending what you selected for "I can see this bug in"

[kaveh1000]

Thanks. I had chosen IDE but would not let me submit. Had to choose Standalone, Mac. But it was not saved as a standalone app. I have explained in a note.

What is the bug number?
Or post the link to the bug, thanks.
