Well, not really. But in a new session, if I examine the script of any old control, in the breakpoints pane where all those non-existent breakpoints live referring to lines in the 30,000's, all of a sudden a fragment of a pulldown menu has appeared:

It works fine. That is, if I click on it, three choices come up, just like in any brand new well-behaved pulldown:
Just saying...Point Context

Re: Point Context
Go up to the Debug menu and choose "Clear all breakpoints". Then see if they come back.
The popdown button could be a control that was mistakenly added to the breakpoints pane. There was a bug for a while where LC lost track of the defaultstack. You could delete the button and see what happens, it looks like an accident to me.

Re: Point Context
Hi.
I almost wrote "hand". Getting old...

Delete? Fascinating. How? This is in the breakpoint pane of the script editor, where one cannot choose the pointer tool to select a control. Or at least I cannot. The button does its pulldown thing regardless of the state of the tool, which, though hilited in the tool palette, never changes from a pointer to a pointer with the selection indicator to its lower right.You could delete the button and see what happens, it looks like an accident to me.

Re: Point Context
In the message box, "delete the mousecontrol", point at it, and hit the return key.
No promises you won't have to reinstall. But there's something weird going on with your setup.

Re: Point Context
Jacque.
I can copy the button to another stack. Hah.
Its full name is "Breakpoint Context Menu". It has no script or custom properties. It has only default menuItems.
Deleting it as you instructed does work. It comes back if I close and reopen the SE.
I think I will tell the team.

Re: Point Context
Yeah, report it. It sounds like they just forgot to make it invisible. But you'd think someone else would have seen it.
