Re: RevBrowser bug
I think at some point the RevBrowser needs to be completely reworked so that the browser is attached not to a window but to an object like a field or a button. Perhaps even a new object called a View Port or something. The way it works now causes all kinds of problems if you try to do anything fancy.

Re: RevBrowser bug
I'm just curious, I guess... is it only during dev in the IDE that you are toggling the resizable of a stack? Or if you do it at runtime, I'd be curious to find how you're applying this functionality... In my current project I need to toggle this according to some META TAGs inside of the html source. That's what I was looking for... thanks! Ken, I was not born yesterday (LiveCode-wise) :-D Don't I know it! ;-) Ken Ray Sons of Thunder Software, Inc.

Re: RevBrowser bug
This happens because the revbrowser instance is linked to a specific windowid and certain things change that id. As you mentioned changing the resizable, going fullscreen, and if I recall correctly, changing the window decorations all change the windowid. Haven't tried it but changing window mode will probably do this also. This is something that I too hope will be changed/fixed? Though i'm not sure if it should be a bug report or a feature request. Where is your report, i'll vote for it.

Re: RevBrowser bug
Done. I've fought with this before. Its a real pain in the butt. Did things like setup the browser stack as a float on top stack that was docked with the stack behind. Then I could do stuff with the back stack and have the front respond. Never did work very well. Ended up doing as you suggested, using the resizer from the library, dumped the stock decorations etc, and since it was a video player window that I wished to be able to go in and out of fullscreen while playing a streaming vid in the browser, I ended up having a 2nd stack that existed for the sole purpose of going into and out of fullscreen behind the browser window to obscure the menu bar and dock. libKiosk worked pretty good for this too. Hoping when/if the externals go public that problems like this will poof and go away.
