Answer Command doesn't work on Windows
Hi I'm Using
Windows 10 Version 1909 OS Build 18363.720
LiveCode 9.6 DP3
Any use of the "Answer" command locks up the computer.
I have a way around this involving adding a card more or less replicating the "answer" command.
I normally develop on my macBook air.

Re: Answer Command doesn't work on Windows
That should be filed as a Bug report rather than here as it concerns a Developer Preview version.

Re: Answer Command doesn't work on Windows
I use that command almost daily on Windows without issue?
Can we see an example stack illustrating the problem?

Re: Answer Command doesn't work on Windows
No problem on Windows here either, of course.
Could it be a copy/paste issue with some strange invisible characters brought over? or a "curly/smart quotes" thing? (A sample stack would be the best way to diagnose.)

Hi Richard and Sparkout,
I found out what was happening. The Answer command is working, however, the answer window is hidden behind the stack instead of on top. I confirmed this by setting the width of the stack to a much smaller width before issuing the answer command and resetting the width after the answer command.ie
Before mouseUp

Re: Answer Command doesn't work on Windows
What is the mode of stack "Agent Search"?

Re: Answer Command doesn't work on Windows
I think one can work out what mode the "Agent Search" stack is by its lack of a drag bar up the top.

Hi Guys,
I appreciate your help. I have no idea how this was set but the float above everything box was checked in the stack inspector!
Unchecked that and everything works as expected!
Thanks again,
Tom
