Group bug?

[bill.waldman]

MAC OS X 10.6.6 / LiveCode 4.5.3

I was trying to "group" a selection of controls and a QT player and found that whenever the player was included in the selection, the pizza wheel of death appeared. I have to force quit LiveCode. If I simply do not include the QT player, all is well.

My thought was to create this group to create a self contained "fader" unit - it loads a sound file: stops, starts loops, fade volume up and down , all without the QT native controls. (Thanks Marty Knapp...)

When I set the FileName property to "" (empty) so that no file is associated with the Player, I can group it.

I think I found a bug here.

Crashers are always bugs. Please go to the quality center and enter it, if possible attach the relevant log files from console app (found in the utilities folder within the application folder).

Unfortunately, I am unable to reproduce your problem, no crash at all on my similar setup.

I can't seem to log into the Quality Center - my login for this board and as a RunRev customer both do not work...Can I post my example or send it to you?

I continue to have issues.
Here's a new one:
Create a background... copy & paste it.

Members of the second background still refer to the first (are in the scope of the first) even when the scripts specifically refer to "button x of this background"

Thanks...

OK - so this attachment is like a "bug workshop".
I crash when I'm even just editing the groups sometimes.
Includes a recipe to recreate what I'm seeing - again, Mac OS X 10.6.6, LiveCode 4.5.3

Folks - have a look and tell me if I there's something wrong or that perhaps other career choices might be appropriate.

Has anyone seen this resolved? Was it a bug? I can't edit any of my groups because it crashes livecode completely every time. I try to ungroup a group and it crashes, I now cannot edit any of my groups I've created because it crashes livecode instantly. It doesn't lock it up and makes me force quit it, it closes out of livecode completely. Can anyone help with this?

Hi Bill,

Sorry i didn't see your stack

• First try
As Mark said "Crashers are always bugs"
When i try to group objects LiveCode crash.

• Try 2
I changed the name of the objects named "field" and "button" and i can group the objects
without crash

I changed the btn "k" script only:
1. Local tGroup created
2. tGroup = the owner of the target
3. Replaced "this group " with "group tGroup"

The btn k work for me on LiveCode 5.0 under OSX 10.6.8

It seem it is important each object of a group have a unique name

Best regards

In addition, it's bad form to name objects "Field" or "Button" or other reserved words.
