The Flipping Backdrop
Posted: Sun Mar 13, 2022 11:17 am
And in this context 'Flipping' is a euphemism.
This totally goofy stack came about because I was attempting to run a Windows version of LiveCode
via WINE on Xubuntu 21.10 . . .
Anyway, LiveCode started up with the desktop and the revTools and the revMenuBar 100% obscured by the
"flipping" backdrop, and for some reason unbeknownst to me, Ctrl-M did NOT bring up the messageBox
in front of the backdrop.
So, by right-clicking on this silly little stack to open your LC install you guarantee that it will start up
without the backdrop.
