@Panos, Thanks for the tip, very useful. @Brian Loaded up the file you mention. Picked a handler near the bottom. Typed in: put 1 into item 1 of xData and it worked. Backspaced over the text so there is an empty line and typed it again. The bug appears as keystrokes are dropped. An image of

Hi Brian, I am currently on a different machine tonight that does not have 8.2.0 DP-2 on it, but I will try what you suggest tomorrow morning when I am back on my regular "beast". I presume you mean the file named: revidelibrary.8.livecodescript that lives somewhere in the LiveCode folder. I d

Hi Jacqueline, When I say a 7,000 line script, I should clarify that I am not referring to a single handler. Instead the 7,000 lines is comprised of the many handlers that are in a stack script. Each handler is likely to be less than 200 lines. There are a couple "monster" handlers that are almo

Hi Monte, I am surprised that LiveCode does not have a single large project that can be loaded into the IDE for a spot control creation and script editing on a real machine platforms before releasing a DP. Editing text is a core feature of an IDE and leaving it to customers to discover find such

Hi Monte, I do not expect full coverage of every scenario, but my setup and what I was doing is so far from the edge case that is is right in the middle. (OK, maybe 7000 lines is a lot, but it is not that far from the centre, as far as complex LiveCode applications go.) * Can I respectfully sugge

Monte, > Ok, great, I’m definitely reproducing it here Nice to know, I will leave it with you. Good luck! My 2 cents worth says that the nature of the 8.x series engine and the way the 8.x IDE is coded will make it a challenge. Since 8.1.6 Stable is already "laggy" on my high spec PC and not as

Hi Monte, >> move to about line 5000 > >Is ^ a critical part of the recipe? No. I just tested typing in the first handler in the same 7000 line stack script, which is at around only line 100, and keystrokes were dropped on the first line I typed. The IDE had been opened only moments before. This
