Hi All,
I update one stack
After a "go to definition" in a group backgroud script I get a strange result "resolve ambiguity"between two groups with the same name although there is only one script with the searched handler.
No problem with LC 5.5.5
That happens with LC 6.7.0.
If I change the name of the group, the name of the other group also is changed and a search with find tools return only one group.

it looks like a bug

Best regards
Jean-Marc

Do you indeed have two groups? Did you say that when you changed the name of one group, the name of the other group changed also?

hi Craig,

Do you indeed have two groups?

One background group called "grNavigation" placed on 7 cds. They have the same ID

Did you say that when you changed the name of one group, the name of the other group changed also?

Yes.
If I change the name of group "grNavigation" to "grNavigation1" the name of the other group also change to "grNavigation1" in the "resolve ambiguity" message
And when I search the handler with find tools, it return only one result

Hi.

A background Group placed on several cards is only one group. It is rather "shared" among those cards. That is why changing the name on any particular card will cause the name of the "other" groups to change as well. And so only one group would be "found" by searching.

How do you get the "resolve ambiguity" message? What sort of code trips this?

No code. Just search an handler with a "go to definition" from the script editor

Hi.

What is "go to definition"?

Craig

Hi Craig,

What is "go to definition"?

A contextual menu in the script editor (with a click right or with optionkey )

Still cannot find this. Just a right-click anywhere? During a step-through? I am on a Mac.

Hi Craig,
Sorry. An image should be better than explanations with my poor english

And many thanks for your time

Jean-Marc.

thanks for your time

Thanks for yours. I never used "go to definition" before. Never actually remembered it existed at all.

I bet your English is better than my French.

Hi
Here is a simplified stack.
You can reproduce this problem and make differences between LC 5.5.5. and 6.7.0
