If the MC frontscript is removed, and then you do something that replaces it, it will go in front of yours because it is the most recent one inserted. You may have a script that removes MC's frontscript, or some IDE actions may re-insert it (painting does, I think.)

No painting involved, or any other drawing type issues.

However, many releases ago I had to create a resumeStack handler to address a bug. My frontscript was disappearing when the stack was suspended, or something similar. So on resumeStack I would check the frontscript and if my script wasn't there, reinsert it.

  if myScript is not in frontScripts() then
    insert the script of cd fld 1 of cd 1 of stack someStack into front
  end if


Is this with the pointer tool or browse tool?

IIRC, MC only acts on mouseUp when the pointer tool is active, and passes it if not. This has caused issues for me when I need to make drawing environments, and I just made a tool to remove and re-insert MC's frontScript as needed.


Both. I made sure to select the Browse tool specifically, but either way I get the same result. I'm thinking that Jacqueline's answer explains it. I haven't intentionally removed MC's frontscript, but if mine is being removed and I'm needing to replace it, then presumably so is MC's.

A very frustrating thing. My newer project won't touch front and backscripts with a ten foot pole. But the older project is sort of stuck with them. Would take a LOT of doing to delete them.
