Dictionary not finding "textColor"

Post by lewis » Mon Jan 16, 2017 7:33 am

Suddenly when I look for "textColor" in the Dictionary it is not there.
What is happening?

Yes, it disappear between LC 7.06 and LC 8.1.2 but it works well for these two versions.
What is expected by LiveCode team in this case ?
Is there a specific place to send a comment about dictionary or we may consider it as a bug for quality center ?

Thanks for confirming and clarifying that Jean-Marc.
I'm running Version 8.1.2 Community.
I think it should go to quality centre but I'm way out of my depth here and so I won't attempt to do any more.

QCC is the place for bug reports, omissions and complaints.

I filled a bug (enhancement request) report
Bug 19107 - dictionary entry for textcolor is empty.

Edit: That is just a synonym mistake. You may have a look to "foregroundColor"

Connected to such dictionary searches is the possibility to look into

Code: Select all

the propertyNames
the functionNames
the commandNames
the constantNames
very long lists ...
shiftLock happens
