In quantum mechanics something can be in more than one place at once. A
paradox of sorts seems to occur in the message chain with groups in LiveCode.
Try this:
1. Place a button on a card.
2. Make the button a group. Set the group's backgroundBehavior to true.
3. Place the following script
Because you set the backgroundBehavior of the strange group to true, it's
effectively after the card in the message path. There's a good explanation and
diagram in chapter 5.2.3 (p.127-9) of the user guide.

Right, but if you click the button, the group comes before the card not
after the card, I think that's the point of interest.

That still makes sense to me, because the group is placed on this card and the
button belongs to the group, so I would expect the message path to take the
normal route, i.e. Button, Group, Card, Stack, why would it not?
But when clicking on the card, the background is picking up the stray

Out of thousands of users, occasionally one can't connect and repeatedly gets
an invalid host address error. What causes those? All users are sending to the
same server at the same domain. Naturally they all say it's only our app and

Seriously doubt it would apply to macs. The note in the dictionary says
that on windows machines, if a proxy is set it will use it automatically,
no such note on a mac. Though I guess its possible, depending on the way LC
determines if a proxy has been set.
Too bad, it fit SO well for windows
