Re: Script Editor freezes in Windows 10 (was Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10)
Hi everyone. Thanks for all the suggestions. I tried them all but no joy. I figured out what caused it. I am using Monte’s lcVCS plugin to keep the project in bitbucket and I was trying to work on it on the Mac and Windows by making changes on the Mac and then updating the stacks by exporting to lcVCS, committing and pushing the changes to bitBucket and then on the Windows Machine fetching the changes and pulling them to the repo on my Windows machine and then use lcVCS to create stacks from files. I recently finished a branch and was merging it back into my version branch on the Mac. When I tried to fetch the changes on Windows there were lots of conflicts. I don’t really understand git process really well for merging etc so I kind of hacked away at it till I got the two repos back in sync with the origin so in the process I must have ended up corrupting some of the scripts in the stack so they would not load. The stack would open and run properly which was odd… So to fix it just zipped up the version on my Mac, Copied it over to the PC and opened it there and it worked. So now I am back in business. Thanks for for your time in responding. Your responses got me to look at the problem from a few different angles till I could see the light through the cracks.

RE: IDE Hang When Exiting. (was Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10)
It was a hardcoded breakpoint in this form. If x<0 then breakpoint I wonder if inadvertently triggered "red dot" breakpoints when exiting can cause the same hang?

(was Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10) Hi Ralph I generally experience IDE hang when exiting in all versions of LC 9.x i have used so far (using a Mac however). I haven’t had time to delve into figuring out a recipe I could report as a bug. I just force quit and relaunched LiveCode. That is just part of my work flow now. Sometimes it does quit with no hang. Some things I have tried is closing the script editor, or close and remove from memory before quitting. I still don’t get consistent results from this though. It happens with various stacks I work on from simple to complex. I thought it may be an extension I have installed that ties up the IDE during the quitting process. I plan one day to remove all extensions to a bare minimum and see if it still happens. Interesting idea about the breakpoint. Is it a ‘red dot’ soft breakpoint or hard coded ‘breakpoint’ in a line of the script? The behaviour of the soft breakpoints I have found inconsistent. Sometimes they don’t trigger unless I have the script open for at least the first breakpoint I want to trigger. Again I have never really tried to get to the cause, just did workarounds. I probably have way to many breakpoints left sitting around. Maybe I should just delete all breakpoints and start fresh. Thanks for the idea. Maybe that will solve the other problem I am having with the DataGrid.

Re: Script Editor freezes in Windows 10 (was Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10)
Martin, i am not sure if the freezes are also caused by this, but what Antivirus Software are you using. A 3rd party or Microsoft Defender? If the latter then please try to exclude the Livecode program folder and its support folders (like preferences) from realtime scanning in MS Defender. There were some reports from users that Microsoft Defender slowed down Livecode, especially when using the Script Editor.

Hi Martin In the Script Editor try unchecking the various entries under Edit/Options e.g. variable checking, live errors, etc. I've recently moved to using LC on OS X and was surprised how snappy the editor was i.e. I didn't need to switch off most of those things as I did on Windows 10. I don't have any advice about Proj Browser, as I almost never used it.

Another bit of info regarding the length of script where this happens. I have been going through the project browser trying to open small scripts then opening those with more and more lines. I found that a script with 53 lines opens, a script with 62 lines freezes. anyway. Down with this for tonight. Hope someone has some ideas as to what might be going on and how to solve it.

Script Editor freezes in Windows 10 (was Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10)
Hi Just to follow up. It is not just happening in a DataGrid group script. I just opened a main stack script. It has almost 600 lines. Something Odd going on. I am just new to using LiveCode on Windows as I am now working on an application for release on Mac and Windows. However I have edited many of the scripts in this project before and have never seen this. Again if anyone has ideas as to what might be happening or how to trouble shoot that would really be appreciated.

Re: IDE Hang When Exiting. (was Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10)
Hi Ralph I generally experience IDE hang when exiting in all versions of LC 9.x i have used so far (using a Mac however). I haven’t had time to delve into figuring out a recipe I could report as a bug. I just force quit and relaunched LiveCode. That is just part of my work flow now. Sometimes it does quit with no hang. Some things I have tried is closing the script editor, or close and remove from memory before quitting. I still don’t get consistent results from this though. It happens with various stacks I work on from simple to complex. I thought it may be an extension I have installed that ties up the IDE during the quitting process. I plan one day to remove all extensions to a bare minimum and see if it still happens. Interesting idea about the breakpoint. Is it a ‘red dot’ soft breakpoint or hard coded ‘breakpoint’ in a line of the script? The behaviour of the soft breakpoints I have found inconsistent. Sometimes they don’t trigger unless I have the script open for at least the first breakpoint I want to trigger. Again I have never really tried to get to the cause, just did workarounds. I probably have way to many breakpoints left sitting around. Maybe I should just delete all breakpoints and start fresh. Thanks for the idea. Maybe that will solve the other problem I am having with the DataGrid.

IDE Hang When Exiting. (was Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10)
Martin, I don’t have an answer for that but this post perked my interest in a hang I was getting. I just found out why the IDE hangs in an apparently tight loop when it's closing. This happened only on one card of the stack. It had a closeCard handler in the behavior. A "breakpoint" statement triggered. It was from early debugging and does not get triggered anymore. It only triggers if all is not well. There is reference to a property in the main stack. Could that stack already be closed and the property returns as empty? Because that would trigger the breakpoint. Is this a bug or user error? Win 10 LC 9.6.1 Thanks for pushing me(more like a poke) to finally solve this annoyance.

So to edit the script in the DataGrid group I just select the Datagrid group I right click on the DataGrid and select the ‘Edit Script’ menu item.

Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10
Hi all Maybe this is not good practice but I have DataGrids with script in the group that contains the DataGrid in addition to the behaviour script of the DataGrid. So to edit the script in the DataGrid group I just select the Datagrid group I right click on the DataGrid and select the ‘Edit Script’ menu item. This works fine on the mac.I just tried this on Windows 10 with LiveCode 9.6 and when I try to open the same DataGrid following the same process the script editor opens but it does not load the script. In fact LiveCode becomes unresponsive. The script editor dims as if disabled and the cursor when hovering over the script editor or any other LiveCode windows is the hour glass cursor. If I click on the ‘x’ to close the LiveCode project I get the dialog that says. LiveCode for Windows is not responding If you close the program, you might lose information. —>Close the Program —>Wait for the program to respond. Eventually I just select ‘Close the program’ since the program never responds. I created a test stack with just a DataGrid on it and a button and opened the group script and was able to add a handler and then save it and reopen it so it does work in a simple scenario. In my application I have two dataGrids that have code in the group script. On has 290 lines the other has about 480 lines. So it seems the longer code is a contributing factor. Has anyone else experienced this? It the problem that you are not supposed to have script in the DataGrid’ Group script and rather put it all in the DataGrid's behaviour? Thanks in advance.
