Re: Variable Watcher disappeared
You can also accomplish most of this by right-clicking a stack in Navigator, and selecting Go > Show on the popup menu. That centers the stack on screen and shows it. It's meant to be guaranteed, so if there are other steps to take to ensure a stack presents itself, I'm happy to add them.

Re: Variable Watcher disappeared
Bob, glad you were able to fix it. I wonder what caused it in the first place. Martin, an incredible list of ways to get windows back. Thanks for posting!!!

Re: Variable Watcher disappeared
Didn’t try that. Too late now, I’m on new prefs, but if it happens again I’ll give it a try. I did drag the window to no effect, but I didn’t try resizing from the top.

Re: Variable Watcher disappeared
What happens if you set the top of the SE window a bit higher than current? I have a gadget that locates the SE on my portrait monitor on command. I could easily make its top anything I want, and I bet that would display the hidden bottom of the window.

Re: Variable Watcher disappeared
Resetting prefs fixed it. Should be a better way than starting from scratch though. Bob S > On Aug 8, 2023, at 10:28 AM, Bob Sneidar wrote: > > That was a good suggestion, but alas no cookie.

Re: Variable Watcher disappeared
That was a good suggestion, but alas no cookie. The entire window is visible, but the handle to resize is not visible. The handle for the handlers pane is visible, but is lower than halfway down the window, clueing me into the likelihood that something has gone horribly awry with my script editor. Quitting and relaunching does not fix it. I checked the forums and bug reports, nothing I can find. I’ll contact support I guess.

Re: Variable Watcher disappeared
Hi, Bob. The bottom pane reappears to show search results, so search for something. — Dick > On Aug 8, 2023, at 9:28 AM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode > wrote: > > Hi all. > > Not sure how I did it but I can no longer see the variables while debugging. > The bottom pane has disappeared and nothing I can find can get it back.

Re: Variable Watcher disappeared
Hi Bob So you can see the Script Editor but you can’t see the variables pane at the bottom? There is a drag handle at the bottom of the Script Editor pane to resize it. Maybe you accidentally dragged that to the bottom hiding the variable pane at the bottom. Even if you did that you should still see the tabs for ‘Errors’; ‘Variables’; ‘Documentation’; ‘Breakpoints’; ’Search Results’. You should be able to drag the Drag handle up to reveal the bottom pane. The following doesn’t probably apply to you if your Script Editor Stack is open and visible. You probably know this but another thing that happens to me is that some of the LiveCode stacks disappear randomly. One thing that happens is that they somehow get moved offscreen. To get them back I first check if they are there by typing the following into the message box. put the openstacks That should result in a list like this. Message Box My Demo Stack revInspector revTools revNewScriptEditor 1 revDictionary revMenuBar Improve LiveCode Handler Finder com.livecode.palette.autocomplete.completions If you see the stack in the list that you are looking for you can relocate it back to the screen by setting its location to something that will be on your display by entering the following in the message box. set the topleft of stack "revtools" to 100,100 Two other reasons stacks disappear is that they become hidden or closed. If the stack is closed then enter the following in the message box open stack “revtools If the stack is open but hidden enter show stack “revtools” If it is your message box that you can’t find then there is nothing you can do…. … Just kidding. ;-) Just type command key + M to show the message box. Bob, I am sure this is covering things you already know but just in case there others in future are looking for this I added the other cases where your LiveCode IDE stacks disappear.

Variable Watcher disappeared
Hi all. Not sure how I did it but I can no longer see the variables while debugging. The bottom pane has disappeared and nothing I can find can get it back. Any ideas?
