@trevix The arguments you specify to send/call in the message string are evaluated when 'send' is executed. Internally, the engine creates a record which contains the name of the message and the sequence of evaluated arguments (e.g. if you do send "DoAction tVar1" to me in 0 seconds, then the record...

There's no need for a report as it is this https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=22279 - which was fixed (as observed) in 9.6-dp-2.

I think this thread has the information you need: https://forums.livecode.com/viewtopic.php?t=30297

@jmk_phd: If you are already including the 300ppi images in your standalone then you shouldn't have to do anything. When we added retina support we made sure that the engine will use as many source pixels as it can from images. So if you have a 600x600px image rendered into a 300x300px square, on a ...

So I think I perhaps didn’t explain my point very well. Data corruption will in all likelyhood happen at some point to one of your users - because hardware can be flaky. SQLite is robust enough that having a single or multiple files is unlikely to make a difference if your app is accessing them conc...

SQLite is probably the most robust, most well-tested and reliable piece of open-source software in existence (its worth reading the pages on www.sqlite.org about how they test it to see what they do). Indeed, I believe it has also been certified to use in avionics software, which is no mean feat. SQ...

There's an old 'bug' report about the forms of 'if' here https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2694 - it lists all forms the engine recognizes to explain why the report wasn't a bug. Due to this, I always strongly recommend only using either: if X then Y [ else Z ] or if X then Y else Z end i...

@richmond62: It says precisely what the buttons on the device do in the technical spec sheet: 6 Buttons (Left & Right Click, Back & Forward, DPI Switch, Scroll Wheel and Middle Button) One is to control sensitivity of device (DPI Switch) - so that's not an input button Three are the 'normal' mouse b...

I think the user guide is perhaps slightly wrong here... When you 'send' a message `the defaultStack` changes to be the stack of the object you are sending the message to *and* `the target` changes to the object you are sending the message too. When you 'call' a message both `the defaultStack` and `...

Noone on the mailing list thought this might be a bug!? :? Well someone (i.e. me) said it wasn't a bug on the forums - I can say it isn't a bug on the mailing list too if that helps ;) As I said above, try explicit fonts (e.g. Courier, Arial, Helvetica) and see if things improve. The font in that P...

I have been reporting more than 150 bugs in the last 15 years and now I'm tired of hunting LC bugs... :( Around 200 actually - 3/4s of which have been in non-GM releases - so thanks for using DP's and RC's and helping to make LC better :) In regards to this issue - this isn't really a bug in LC - i...

@JakobR: What tsNet commands/functions are you using? It is possible that the blocking forms of the tsNet API (the Sync) could cause this; so perhaps try the non-blocking (callback-based) ones...

@Rob: It sounds like you are building your standalone as 32-bit only - in the MacOS pane of the standalone settings dialog, make sure you have 64-bit selected.

The S/E intercepts all things that will mutate the field so that it can provide multiple levels of undo/redo and colorize the script 'on-the-fly'. So when you paste into a section, it will re-colorize the relevant lines thus losing the styling which has been added behind its back. This is why what y...

@richmond62: That's because you have attached those scripts to the button - buttons cannot contain controls so 'the target' is always the same as 'me'. You will see a difference if you put the scripts in an object containing the button (e.g. card, or group if the button is in a group). Then 'the tar...
