IDE: list of not yet defined available handlers

Dear LiveCode Forums,
When editing a card's script, there's a list of handlers and functions in the left pane. The handlers and functions that are already defined, appear on top. Below that is a list of messages handlers that are not yet defined, but available in case you would like to define it. I just wonder why certain handlers are removed from the bottom list when certain other handlers are defined, e.g.
the openCard handler is removed from the bottom list when the preOpenCard handler is defined, and the openStack handler is removed from the bottom list as soon as the preOpenStack handler is defined. I think it's an IDE bug, but perhaps someone here can explain why maybe it isn't a bug?
Thanks in advance.
Gerrie

Hi Gerrie,
the openCard handler is removed from the bottom list when the preOpenCard handler is defined
I confirm this strange stuff (LC 9.6.6

Hi Gerry,
If you want to report this as a bug then you could add that the problem seems to be in stack "revsehandlerlistbehavior" starting at line 135 in handler "update"
Code: Select all
# Description
# Called when the group might need to be updated. Updates the handler list. Also resizes the group.
command update
lock screen
local tHandlers
call "revSEGetHandlerList" to the cCaller of me
put the result into tHandlers
local tDefaultHandlers, tIndex
if sePrefGet("editor,showDefaultHandlers") then
put revSEDefaultHandlers() into tDefaultHandlers
end if
set the wholematches to true -- this is originally set to false, setting it to true avoids openCard/preOpenCard mixup
The last line "set the wholematches to true is originally set to false, setting it to true avoids openCard/preOpenCard mixup
Kind regards
Bernd

I guessed, how embarrassing for LC!

I wonder why they have set "wholeMatches" explicitly to false in the first place. I could not think of any reason but still there must be one.
Probably the author originally set "wholeMatches" to true and found a problem and decided it was easier to set it to false than to take the line out.
And speaking of "wholeMatches" and embarrassing: I think that more than half of the problems of the Project Browser are missing "wholeMatches"
