Re: Control of Text Fields.

Thanks, Alex. Sorry I didn’t make myself clear. I’m building a calculator stack 
with forward and back arrow buttons and a Delete button. What's the script for 
these buttons?

Re: Control of Text Fields.

[Alex Tweedly via use-livecode]

Hi Roger,

I'm not sure I properly understand your question.

here's a code snippet the moves the insertion point (in this sample, 
typing an 'f' moves it forward, 'b' moves it back). (Note this also 
works if there is some text selected - it moves the insertion to just 
after the selection, just like the arrow key does).



on keydown p
   local t
   switch p
  case  "f"
 put word 4 of the selectedchunk into t
 select after char (t+1) of me
 break
  case "b"
 put word 2 of the selectedchunk into t
 select before char (t-1) of me
 break
   end  switch
end keydown

To then delete the char in front of it, you'd do something like

   put empty into char (t+1) of me

Hope that's close enough to what you were asking, or at least gives you 
a starting place  :-),


Alex.

Possibly memory corruption, but unlikely.  More likely a plugin or IDE

If only there was a way to trace message handlers so you could see where 
the culprit lies...

@Mike Kerner

I am using Win 11. I had no issues so far. All works as expected, but I
have only be using the IDE.

Now, after switching to a 1 TB SSD and 16 MB Ram, also the script editor
becomes usable under Windows. What a difference... Wow.

Have fun )

Good!

Right, so actions during selection and/or script saving.

Also good!

True. I'm happy no one has seen it lately;
hopefully it's gone and on to other bugs.

(But yeah, I still need to check with the client,
plus there was a possibly related bug still Open.)

Re: Bug survey

[Mike Kerner via use-livecode]

No, this is something different. There was a bug report on mobile related
to event ordering, but I can't find it. I originally worked around it (like
the error causing silent aborts), but it just jumped back up at me, again,
and reminded me that I didn't put it on my list.

I have not noticed recently - not in the 9.6.x series. I am not saying 
it might not be present, but I can not recall running into it since back 
in the 9.0.x time frame.


My vague recollection was I encountered it when the property inspector 
was open and the project browser was open and I selected a different 
object (although whether I selected the new object in the project 
browser or by clicking on the object in a stack I can't recall. As I 
said in my original post, it was intermittent at best, so it was 
probably some specific sequence of object selection actions that I was 
doing sometimes unconsciously that led to the disassociation. At any 
rate, it may be "fixed" in current releases.

Script Editor Disassociation Bug - Seen it lately?

[Curry Kenworthy via use-livecode]

I'm checking up on the Script Editor Disassociation Bug,
described in this thread:



Paul, Bob, Ben, Mark (and Hermann) commented  at the time,
having experienced the same bug or something very similar.

Me:

Interestingly, the comments involved all IDE platforms!
I couldn't find a bug report on it; likely never had a recipe.
Still interested though! I'd like to recipe or report it.

But first: Has anyone seen this bug lately? (On LC 9.6.3 or later.)
Especially Paul, Bob, Ben, Mark?

My experience:

I saw it several times when screensharing with a client,
so I saw it happen on Mac. It may have happened to me once?
But I think the trigger required certain habits I don't have!
That is the key to a recipe; only those actions cause it.

Probably one's method of applying and saving changes
after editing a script; Apply first, versus just save,
from the SE (in the edited tab) or from the stack, etc.
The little details of how we Apply and Save.

For me the required actions would be like a "mistake"
since my habit and discipline usually avoid them.

So I'm going to keep an eye out for it,
but only if it still exists! (???)

(I can ask the client again too.)

Best wishes,

Curry Kenworthy
