I clicked the green navigation button on the edit script window and it expanded to fill the whole screen. Now the top controls are hidden by the LiveCode menubar. I reinstalled LiveCode, but it remembered the settings from before. Help!

Hi Bruce,

1. welcome to the forum!
2. Congratulations, looks like you directly found your first bug! :D

Do this:
a. open the message box
b. enter something like this: set the rect of the mousestack to 100,100,500,500
c. Do NOT hit ENTER yet!
d. move the cursor over the script editor window and
e. NOW hit ENTER et voila, you can grab the window again...

I will create a bug report!


Best

Klaus

Thanks, Klaus,

It actually fixed itself. When I started up this morning the script editor window was appearing manageably again in the centre of the screen.

I tried to move it to 100,100,500,500, but couldn't. I did manage to move the message box to that position, but, even with the mouse over the script editor window, I couldn't get it to move.

Thanks again,

BruceL :-)
