Simon,

I'm having trouble understanding your suggestion about the Dictionary. When I hover my mouse over any icon all I get is a tool tip (and not always that.

I've attached a reduced screen shop to help you see what I'm talking about.

I appreciate your help.

Hi CLint,
Sorry I totally misunderstood what you were asking.
On my DP13 I'm not showing those borders (and no, widget is not the last entry), weird that there can be these differences on the same OS.
Can't wait for the first RC (Release Candidate, still not ready for the masses but close)

Thanks, Simon.

I tried using LC 8.0 dp 13 when I recently picked-up using LiveCode again (having not used it since version 5.5.3. I've reverted to 7.1.1 for my project. There are enough problems and strangenesses even in so-called “stable releases of Livecode to keep me from using the more experimentals updates.

Thank you so much! I use multiple displays with my laptop in dock mode and sometimes the script window just flies off the screen when LiveCode is first launched.
