Strange behaviour LC7.1.1 community

Post by sphere » Sun Jan 17, 2016 2:12 pm

Hello,

anyone experiencing strange behaviour with LC7.1.1 ?

I had it a few times now with random lines of script, that it does not accept the written line, allthough it is the same line as the one above except for some values between "".

set the textColor of field "Telefoon" to "Black"
set the textColor of field "Mobiel" to "Black"

Now LC says the bottom line is missing 'to'.......well it beats me, i can still see it.

I then tried to # uncomment the mentioned line...
Then LC locks up and i have to use the task manager to kill it.

Another example: is almost the same, but i saved it anyway. Restarted Livecode and then it all of a sudden it does work.


Anyone else have similair issues?


Could this be related to another issue i still see sometimes, that when you write a line or you just hit enter after a already existing line to insert a new line below it, that the first character of the line after you hitted enter is gone....

like this:
set the textColor of field "Telefoon" to "Black" ---> say after this line i hit Enter(actually it is the Return button of the qwertyuiop keyboard---not enter of the numeric)
set the textColor of field "Telefoon" to "Black"

then this happens:
et the textColor of field "Telefoon" to "Black" ---> first character of the line is missing

set the textColor of field "Telefoon" to "Black"

thanks!

Ok a quick update: there is something going on with spaces and hitting return.


set the textColor of field "Mobiel" to "Black"

now i hitted return after "Mobiel"

so you get this:
set the textColor of field "Mobiel"
to "Black"

then i hitted Delete before to "Black" and hitted space one time
to get the original line again
set the textColor of field "Mobiel" to "Black"

now it is accepted...... :x makes me crazy.....

It's probably a unicode issue. If you have a reproducible recipe that you can post in a bug report, I'm sure the LC team would like to fix it.

Good idea, thanks.

As soon as i see it again, i will do that.
At the moment this particular piece is fixed.
And it is difficult to determine when it will occur again.
