Re: Double cursor appearing
Usually with VMs, there are special drivers or "tools" you need to install that among other things "sync" the local session cursor position and the VM cursor position. Have they installed those tools for their VM client software?

Double cursor appearing
Hello hivemind, I have a customer running our Windows app in a virtual machine under Linux and they are seeing a "double cursor". See screen shot here: http://www.researchware.com/livecode/uselist/doublecursor.jpeg Has anyone else seen anything like this and have any idea what it may be? My Linux skills are horribly rusty. I don't even have Linux (any flavor) setup on any computer currently. I am really hoping someone has an idea what the root cause is here? ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

AW: AW: codesigning FAILS with Umlaute
If it is codesign or the shell, the weird thing is, that Apple broke it. Codesigning worked for me in the terminal for years with my Umlaut app. The times of the 90th, when there was nothing more compatible as a Mac are gone forever. I love Windows!

AW: codesigning FAILS with Umlaute
Hello Mark, thank you for jumping in with your expertise - it works! I appreciate your efforts very much! I never would have dared to rename an app after signing and notarization. I am so glad, you found a solution. My app is named since 12 years "DGS-Wörterbuch", because the German spelling of "dictionary" is "Wörterbuch" - with an Umlaut and nothing else. Every other spelling wouldn't look very professional for a German. So probably the other issue of my first post (fail on building a standalone with Umlaut) is related to the new ad-hoc signing feature of LC 9.6. and is based on the same codesign bug of xCode (it worked for years without problems).
