There were some posts on this list about 4 months ago re: hide/show objects strangeness (http://runtime-revolution.278305.n4.nabble.com/hide-show-oddities-td4686263.html). Having struck this today on a project I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s something to do with the graphics caching

Thanks everyone for the suggestions, experiences, etc. Definitely not mismatched lock / unlock, since all the other parts of the screen are fully updated. I couldn't (naturally) recreate anything in a smaller sample, nor even reliably be sure to make it happen on demand. I finished up using

Just to add that I got this working just now, in the strangest way. My code wanted to show a splash screen for three seconds, so I coded go to cd “splash” of stack “mySplashScreen” wait 3 seconds sometimes I put a ‘show’ in there too, but the splash screen didn’t show. I found that if I

The subject is intriguing for some future release. Hide oddities would be great for giving demos; show oddities would great for debugging. Thanks for the suggestions, Alex. -- Dick ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please

Coming a little late to this conversation, I think I have seen this too, in LC 7 rc2. I have several instances of ‘show’ that work, and one, where I have to show a splash screen, that doesn’t. Like you Alex, I automatically thought that it must be something I’m doing wrong, but now I am not so

Alex. I feel your pain, and you have described a surreal situation very nicely. I cannot duplicate what you see. What happens if you start from scratch, or is the project too far along? Craig -Original Message- From: Alex Tweedly a...@tweedly.net To: How to use LiveCode

I have a large project running under 6.6.x (all versions over the years) which uses hide/show all the time and it's always worked okay. I can't think of anything that would cause your symptoms though, it's pretty odd. On November 26, 2014 5:46:25 AM CST, Alex Tweedly a...@tweedly.net wrote:

Interesting… When I reported my own stack anomalies with version 7, this sounds remarkably like what I was seeing, but I was showing and hiding stacks, primarily the main stack from which all other stacks were launching. You may have uncovered the bug which bit me. Bob S On Nov 26, 2014, at

Finding a recipe was my problem too. It hasn't happened for a while but I think it might have had something to do with nested groups. While we're talking about groups, I feel they're unnecessarily difficult to edit in LC. I find myself constantly clicking on the Select Grouped icon when I'm
