Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X
The theory is that something is interfering with the drop, so altering the text after the drop completes might fix it. Could be a bug, but using "send" may work around it.

Try the "send" method then, which updates the text after the drop. On 3/24/17 3:47 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: Whoops! Spoke too soon. Still makes the window unresponsive.

Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X
No, because the problem apparently happens AFTER the text is placed. Everything works, I just cannot manipulate any controls until I either move the window or select something ANYTHING, even a different program (window loses focus).

Whoops! Spoke too soon. Still makes the window unresponsive. Apparently the problem is intermittent. But it also looks like exit to top without allowing the drop is the only reliable solution.

Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X
Interesting. I added the exit to top yesterday because it seemed to fix the responsiveness problem. It has been working without exit to top and pass dragdrop of over 2 years. I think it's because I am not acually allowing the drop to happen, but rather intercepting it, getting the dragData ["text"] and entering it into the field by script (would that be scripturally??) which might explain why the window becomes unresponsive the way I am doing it. The drop never *actually* happens, and that explains why exit to top corrects the issue. So here is the new code and this works a peach! on dragDrop put cleanASCII(the dragData ["text"], cModeList, cCustomChars) into tDragData put titleCase(tDragData, false) into tDragData -- capitalize first letter of each word set the dragData ["text"] to tDragData pass dragDrop end dragDrop The trick then is to allow the drop to happen, but clean up the dragData ["text"] first! Now it makes perfect sense. Thanks Jacque! Now I get to refactor the refactored refactorization that was initially refactored some time ago. Bob S > On Mar 24, 2017, at 12:21 , J.

The first thing to try would be replacing "exit to top" with "pass
dragdrop". If you don't pass the command, the drop doesn't happen.
Everything below is off the top of my head, untested, but here are some
general ideas.
If "pass" doesn't work, try:
on dragDrop
put the dragData ["text"] into tText
set the dragData ["text"] to cleanASCII(tText, cModeList, cCustomChars)
pass dragDrop
end dragDrop
And if that doesn't work, try:
on dragDrop
put the dragData ["text"] into tText
send "cleanUp tText" to me in 0
pass dragDrop
end dragDrop
on cleanUp pText
put cleanASCII(me, cModeList, cCustomChars) into me
end cleanUp

Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X
Here is a handler in a field script. The exit to top is necessary because of
the issue. The source can be an email from the Mail app, or it can be text from
an OCR'd PDF. The CleanASCII function is necessary because Acrobat will insert
non-printing characters for what reason I do not know, that will crash
Livecode. Since the issue occurs no matter the source, I do not think it's the
nature of the data, especially since the data gets put into the field, so all
functions have clearly returned (otherwise it would never see exit to top).
constant cModeList = "uppercase,lowercase,numbers,custom"
constant cCustomChars = "!#$%&'*+-/=?^_`{|}~.@"
on dragDrop
put cleanASCII(the dragData ["text"], cModeList, cCustomChars) into me
exit to top
end dragDrop

Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X
Just tried a simple test on Mac OS Sierra / LC8.1.3 and it seems to work fine here. Is there anything else that could be interfering with the dragDrop? Maybe the Message Watcher could give a clue as to what is happening. Paul > On 24 Mar 2017, at 08:00, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi all. > > Might just be me.

DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X
Hi all. Might just be me. I drag drop text onto a field with a dragdrop handler that essentially puts the drag data ["text"] into itself. Doing so with 8.1.3 seems to cause the window to become unresponsive, that is none of the controls work. I cannot click in fields, tab around, click buttons etc. However if I navigate to another window, and then back again it becomes responsive. Also, if I move the window with the title bar, it becomes responsive again. Finally, if I exit to top at the end of the dragdrop handler, THAT makes the window responsive. It's as though the dragdrop message is still in effect in limbo somewhere. This seems to be a somewhat recent development. That is, I don't think it has always been this way. Particularly in 8.0.x and prior, but I could not pin it down to a minor version.
