Hi Hermann,

"segments" is now a reserved word of LiveCode 7, you use it as a custom property.

You might want to change that.

Kind regards
Bernd

Hi Hermann,

indeed, there seems to be an issue there. Try updating the array for 7.0, as can confirm that "segments" is now a reserved word, as Bernd said.

Have created bug report: http://www.quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12495 so that we can look into the issue for 6.7.0


Kind Regards,

Hanson

Hi Hermann,
I learned: 'segment' is now reserved and currently a synonym for 'word'. Until now I thought that linguists use it for 'atomic parts' (would here be vowels or consonants). I used it graphical because I do here kind of classical 7-segment-display.
actually the real lesson is to prepend your custom properties with some prefix, makes code easier to read and keeps you out of trouble in a situation like this :)
some use "c" and some use "u". uSegment is very unlikely to become a reserved word, nor cSegment.

Kind regards
Bernd

Hi Hermann,

I have also created a bug report to address the truncation issue in the Error Dialogue. This is being addressed here: http://www.quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12496

Hi Hermann,

I am looking at windowShapes in 6.7.dp4 with another stack and there seems to be trouble in drawing the windowshape. It is only at certain sizes that artifacts appear. No idea yet what the specifics of this are.

set the "Kind regards" of the uBernd of this forum to true

Hi Herman,

could you check your stack with 6.7 dp4. I notice on MacOS 10.6.8 that the cursor vanishes when it is over the stack, not in WindowShapeMode. It shows in the window title and outside of the stack.
Do you also see this?
Kind regards
Bernd

Hi Hermann and Bernd,

we have a bug report that seems to match the issue you are describing here with the cursor disappearing over a stack in 6.7 dp 4: http://www.quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=12467


Kind Regards,

Hanson

I also see cursor disappearing sporadically in 5.5.5 but am unable to reproduce it. There is also an earlier bug report: http://www.quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11026.
