I am trying to use Live Code 4.6.1 Android on Windows 7. I am able to run the IDE and I am able to move around and even copy-paste widgets on sample stacks. But I am unable to use Tools palette. When I select "Edit (pointer) tool" in the palette and then try to select let's say Push Button in order to place it on the stack, apparently Push Button is not actually selected and I am unable to place the new widget.
What do I do?
In stack properties I don't have either "float above everything" or "can't modify" set, since I know that this has been a problem for somebody in the past.
why am I unable to use Tools palette in v4.6.1 Android?

That's pretty odd, I haven't heard of that before. You should be able to use the tool palette normally.
To get an object from the tool palette onto a stack, you can either drag and drop it onto your stack, or you can double-click it in the palette which will put it into the center of your stack window. Did you try those methods? Single-clicking doesn't do anything.
BTW, there's a good intro to LiveCode in the User Guide, which you can access from LiveCode's Help menu.

thanks, double clicking worked.
