Yes I've seen that, enough that when launching LC I usually reflectively
toggle comand-9/command-0 a few times.
But this isn't that. After the first few times I've toggled off and on, I've

I haven't seen that exact problem but I have seen times where the tool
palette show the edit tool but acts like the browse tool. When that happens
I toggle it a couple of times and it resolves itself.

Is anyone else seeing this problem? I launch LiveCode, choose the pointer tool
(double-check because of problems, active tool is definitely the pointer).

Hi Bjornke,
Yes, I've run into some of those issues with rev libraries and found that
shifting them to openCard fixed those issues. I must have missed the post
about the lock screen issue, but I've had that same issue too.
This is a new type of problem though, at least to me. No libraries or

Thanks Geoff. I had thought about moving things into openCard. I already

Maybe I'm missing a subtlety of Mark's reply, but unless an object is
being created dynamically, it should be configurable during preOpenCard.
The whole reason for the preOpenCard message in the first place is to be
able to initialize/format stuff on the card before showing it. Now if a
control
Hi Scott,
That's my confusion too. I have several places where I adjust the
content/appearance of controls on the card and that all works fine, only
sending a message to a control seems to cause a problem.
It seems like the stack is in some partial state of initialization during
preOpenCard
--no handler anywhere

end mouseUp

Hi Craig,
You're right that the button wasn't fully qualified initially, but no error
was thrown. That's another problem I've come across in preOpenCard - often
errors just don't get thrown. Plus red dot break points don't trigger
(although a breakpoint command does).
All in all, preOpenCard is
Out of curiosity I created a simple stack with one card and four buttons named
Button 1 though Button 4, each button just had the script;
on mouseUp
answer the short name of me
end mouseUp
then I put the following in the stack script;
on preOpenStack
testMessage1
end preOpenStack
on
Yep, that's my experience too. Don't remember all the combinations I tried
but here's the one that really surprised.
1. Ran LC and opened my stack from within it. Got the mouseUp problem.
2. Closed the stack and opened it again from within LC. All worked OK.
3. Closed the stack and removed it
, loading the short names somewhere
without any answer stuff?

Do you pass the messages as well in your problem stack? i.e. pass preOpenCard,
etc.
The IDE is dealing with a lot of things that a standalone isn't dealing with.
Just a thought,

Hi Tom,
I've changed my scripts so much that I'm not sure of the answer to that.
Good point though - I'll see if I can find a backup copy of the stack from
before I started changing it all around.
The dictionary seems to indicate it doesn't matter whether you pass
preOpenCard or not, at least in
names somewhere without any answer stuff?

Peter:
You may be done with this whole issue, but one thing you might try is
verifying that your stack is actually removed from memory before testing
as you describe. If the stack you're closing has a substack that doesn't
get closed, or there's some handler, pending message or other event
