Hmm, it now seems to work in 8.1.

I'll give 8 another try, but my first few minutes aren't promising . . .
I'm used to the 2-5 second delay when switching tabs in the script editor
(unacceptable, and bad for my blood pressure, but I'm used to it), but now
we're up to a couple of minutes of beachball just for switching tabs . . .

Now *Bug 18638* 

I can't put the stacks publicly, so I'll wait for an email or ftp at live
code to upload.

To tell the truth, the only time I ever loaded a stack from the menubar was
when opening another version of live code, blocking messages, and opening.

I just tried,, and it indeed opens without the error.

I never ended up using 6; the global shade problem was so much worse than 5
that I just  couldn't get anything done.  By the time it was solved (well,
I assumed it was solved) I was using 7 for the pixelScale on individual
stack.

I"d still rate the final release of 7 as beta, not release, quality . . .

And speaking of those shadows, before I forget again, it may be tied to
errors in explicit variables--I eventually found a couple of local
declarations for variables used as globals that survived for literally
years, somehow compiling.   I suppose I should have flagged them to go
back, but I just removed them in irritation.

I haven't hit an incorrect shadow in months now . . .

RE: insane time to comment out hundreds or thousands of lines

[Ralph DiMola]

I was on 6.7.6 up to 4 weeks ago. There was some pain but not as bad as I 
thought. The hardest part was getting started. I am working with 20k+ lines of 
code. I still have some issues and submitted bug reports but have been able to 
work around them. Many have already been fixed. The LC team has been very 
responsive to bug reports. I was lamenting when 6 and 7 were EOLed but it is 
very noticeable that those resources were allocated to LC 8 bug fixes. LC 8 is 
MUCH faster than LC 7 very close for my apps to LC6. The LC 8 IDE has been more 
stable than 6.7.x. I just commented out 9k lines in 6 seconds and un-commented 
them in 9 seconds in LC 8.1.1 rc2 on a Win 10 VM.

There’s your problem. Sounds like staying on 7 is painful right now.

What are the bug report numbers for the issues causing you pain?

Cheers

The IDE.

It throws an error apparently coming from trying to resize the message box,
and refers to a blank line of code in the engine . . .

Naturally, if i use an answer/breakpoint pair to let me step through the
script, it does not occur . . .

I've got it down to three small stacks, having edited out a couple of
megabytes of script, that I'll submit come morning (my wife has been trying
to feed me for a couple of hours).

Now it only misfires in 7 (but in8.1, it doesn't close the splash stack,
which does happen in 7).

I'll see if I can produce one that misfires in 8, too.

What kind of errors? Startup in the IDE or standalone?

I'm doing this so that I *CAN* file the bug report for this bit where the
engine throws errors on startup.

They're different in 7 and 8, but 8 just chopped 4.6k lines from 11.2k
lines of script in about a minute.

I"m now alternating between 8 to strip, and 7.1.3 to insure that it still
occurs.  Hopefully the bug is in the same spot in both, although 8 seems to
recover . . ..

(meanwhile, 7.1.4 is at 33 minutes)

Yep… go watch a movie or something. The code was *very* inefficient.

What version are you using? I did some work on this a little while ago so it 
should be much quicker in the latest releases.
