If the palette is the last stack to open, it may be the defaultstack even though it isn't the topstack. So after the opening sequence completes, try adding a command to set the defaultstack to the mainstack. On December 6, 2014 6:44:15 AM CST, Graham Samuel livf...@mac.com wrote: I have an app

When did compile errors stop producing erros in LC7?

I think this changed in rc2, but I'm not sure. When there is a compile error now (rc2 and rc3), the red dot appears in the tab, but there is no longer an error message upon which I can click to jump to the offending line. Scrolling through a 10,000 line script gets tedious rather quickly . . .
