Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X

The theory is that something is interfering with the drop, so altering the text after the drop completes might fix it. Could be a bug, but using "send" may work around it. On 3/24/17 4:38 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: In that case sending would only replace the dropped text. No

Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X

In that case sending would only replace the dropped text. No point in that. The text is getting into the field using either method. It's just that the window controls become unresponsive like they might if a script was still running. Why moving a window or switching focus would clear the

Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X

Try the "send" method then, which updates the text after the drop. On 3/24/17 3:47 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode wrote: Whoops! Spoke too soon. Still makes the window unresponsive. Apparently the problem is intermittent. But it also looks like exit to top without allowing the drop is the

Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X

No, because the problem apparently happens AFTER the text is placed. Everything works, I just cannot manipulate any controls until I either move the window or select something ANYTHING, even a different program (window loses focus). Bob S > On Mar 24, 2017, at 14:02 , Dr. Hawkins via

Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X

would using "set the text of me" rather than "put into me" make a difference? On Fri, Mar 24, 2017 at 1:47 PM, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode < use-livecode@lists.runrev.com> wrote: > Whoops! Spoke too soon. Still makes the window unresponsive. Apparently > the problem is intermittent. But it also

Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X

Whoops! Spoke too soon. Still makes the window unresponsive. Apparently the problem is intermittent. But it also looks like exit to top without allowing the drop is the only reliable solution. Bob S > On Mar 24, 2017, at 13:33 , Bob Sneidar via use-livecode >

Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X

Interesting. I added the exit to top yesterday because it seemed to fix the responsiveness problem. It has been working without exit to top and pass dragdrop of over 2 years. I think it's because I am not acually allowing the drop to happen, but rather intercepting it, getting the dragData

Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X

Here is a handler in a field script. The exit to top is necessary because of the issue. The source can be an email from the Mail app, or it can be text from an OCR'd PDF. The CleanASCII function is necessary because Acrobat will insert non-printing characters for what reason I do not know, that

Re: DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X

Just tried a simple test on Mac OS Sierra / LC8.1.3 and it seems to work fine here. Is there anything else that could be interfering with the dragDrop? Maybe the Message Watcher could give a clue as to what is happening. Paul > On 24 Mar 2017, at 08:00, Bob Sneidar via use-livecode >

DragDrop makes windows unresponsive OS X

Hi all. Might just be me. I drag drop text onto a field with a dragdrop handler that essentially puts the drag data ["text"] into itself. Doing so with 8.1.3 seems to cause the window to become unresponsive, that is none of the controls work. I cannot click in fields, tab around, click
