Peculiar revErrorDisplay message

Post by dunbarx » Thu Aug 31, 2023 5:41 pm

This has been going on for years. In a line of code that navigates to another stack, I get this, not as an error in the running handler, but rather in the "revErrorDisplay" dialog:
Type if-then: error in statement
Object Submit
Line go stack "subData"
Hint mouseUp
The line in question is:

Code: Select all

go stack "subData"
Nothing stops. The handler runs just fine to completion. I simply dismiss the dialog and continue working.

And if I place

Code: Select all

go stack "subData" 
in the message box, again, the stack opens just fine, but in msg itself I get the notice:
Message execution error:
Error description: Chunk: can't find background
Hint:
There are no groups at all on stack "subData", nor are there any "openCard" or similar handlers anywhere in that stack. Annoying, harmless, but I am concerned that something is sinister.
