Pulldown menus stop to work in a specified card

Post by paulclaude » Tue Feb 17, 2009 1:09 pm

Probably there's a simple explanation, but I can't understand it.

On an old stack, always working fine, now the pulldown menus has stopped to work on a particular card. Also copying a working pulldown menu from another card and pasting it in this card, make the menu stop working (no menupick handling).

Looking at the Message Watcher, it seems that the pulldown menus doesn't generates anymore the "menupick" message. I've added an empty "mousedown" handler to the script of the pulldown menu, and magically the menupick message has been trapped again regularly.

I've searched for mousedown handlers in the script of the card, but there was not. I've only found a mousedown in the script of another group (the menubar group). The solution to add a moudedown empty handler works, but it seems incomprehensible, and I do not want other oddities happen.

Can someone assume what has happened?

It's a bug of Revolution, I think.

I've definitively determined that the pulldown menus has stopped to work because of the mouseDown handler in the menubar group; it's really a strange behavior. I've made some test, it trapped also the mousedown message sent to locked fields, etc.

Please submit that example with a report to the Rev Quality Control Center so it can be addressed:

Richard, I'm sorry for the late reply, but the "Notify me when a reply is posted" of this forum doesn't works (at least for me)...

The ID number is: 7748

Greetings

Paul
