Re Pulldownmenu button bug on Windows

Thanks again Richard In my case I don’t actually need a workaround. Once I had corrected my own error, the only effect of the inconsistent event order is that on Windows and Linux the colour coding of the selection turns off a fraction of a second earlier than on a Mac. I am not so obsessive as

Re: Re Pulldownmenu button bug on Windows

What a very kind thing of you to say. Thank you. After 30 years as a recipient of so much wisdom and lore shared with me, I've felt compelled to share some of that forward. In recent years most of what I write seems ignored, so I've been spending my time elsewhere. Your encouragement may see m

Re: Re Pulldownmenu button bug on Windows

Re: Re Pulldownmenu button bug on Windows

It's definitely an inconsistency, but the bug's status as requiring "EXPERT REVIEW" prompts us to consider why these differences exist, and which, if any, should be considered "wrong" or "right". It may not be as simple as it seems at first glance. Background: -- MetaCard (the engine

Re Pulldownmenu button bug on Windows

The pulldownmenu bug I reported has been confirmed: bug 23693 To remind the reader: On a Mac, when a user select a menu item from a pulldown menu button, the menuPick message is sent first followed by a mouseLeave message (generated as the mo

Re: Pulldownmenu button bug on Windows

Hi. I will say again that the format of the forum is so much easier to work with. I made a pulldown and two fields, with these two handlers in the button script: on menuPick pItemName put pItemname into fld 1 end menuPick on mouseleave put random(999) into fld 2 end mouseleave On my Mac
