When I open the msg box, and then click on multi-line, I used to get a
window with 2 panes
- top one to enter a script
- lower one with its output.
But now it gives me only a single pane (the output one) - there's
nowhere to enter the script.
What have I done ? :-)
And more importantly,
Same thing happened to me (random hiccup) I just increased the window size
a little till the divider showed. However now on 5.5.3 it seems that every
time I switch to the multiline pane the divider defaults to the bottom
where it is barely otu of view and I have to do it again. Kinda a pain
in
Actually its every time I restart lc it resets to slightly out of view.
*sigh* Either way still an annoyance.

Ditto here. Very annoying. Not related to plugins as I have removed plugins on
several occasions to test other issues, and the problem persists. I think it's
a preferences bug.

Thanks Mike.
I thought I had tried that - but I did have just a few more pixels left
at the bottom of the screen, and including them in the window let me
grab the divider.
Thanks!

When I enter this script into the card handler of a card I do in fact get

The debugger has a trap to ignore errors in IDE stacks in order to
prevent endless loops. If you need to debug the message box, issue the
following commands. Normally I would say do this in the

Thank you Mark! This is very helpful.
I've verified that I can now use breakpoints in the message box scripts and
will take a look to see if I can track down where the problem is when I
have some free time.

Glad it's useful. I should give credit to Richard Gaskin since we worked
on it together, and he did a large part of the work.

Craig's trick has never worked for me. Yes, I deleted all the prefs and
reinstalled LC. That didn't help. Messages are turned on but that was a
good thing to check.
I'm limping along with my self-rolled message box so I'm able to move
forward at this point. Thanks for the reply.

I've got the standard plugins along with a couple others, but I've been
using those for years and haven't updated them. Someone else on this list
reported the same problem with the message box last year, specifically
which is why (in a follow up post) I suggested a method to make one's own
temporary 'message box' ...so you can poke around

By the way, when I put set the revmessageboxredirect to empty in my

FWIW, I have been using 4.5.3 for a long time, still using it, and I've found
it to be quite stable. I've never seen what you're describing. MacBook, OSX
10.6.8, Rev Studio 4.5.3, build 1210.

Interesting. I have horrible problems with the editor and debugger. I
frequently have to close and restart the editor (losing all my open tabs)
and the debugger often skips over breakpoints and otherwise acts wonky. My
other version, 4.6.4, works much better but I don't have an IOS seat for
it.

I distributed this lookup stack today at the conference as part of my
debugging session:
Grrr. This bug is back and this time restarting my Mac didn't fix it.
So I'm trying to trace what happens when I type anything into the message
box. I've got the script for the message box itself open as well as the
script for the message field.
I've put breakpoints at the rawkeydown handler as
Try typing breakpoint;your command here
You should be warned however that the message box is a strange beast, and may
not behave as you expect, particularly with regard to execution contexts (if I
remember right).

Unfortunately, it doesn't matter what I put in the message box, since it

this is way off the wall and may not be related or work at all, but at one
time there was this unlisted property called revmessageboxredirect, and it

one can make one's own 'message box' while trying to get a handle on this...
create a new stack
make a field to hold the command(s) - name it command
make a button named 'execute' with this script
on mouseup
get field command
do it
end mouseup
add a 'try' structure and error reporting
This happens with no stacks open or in memory and no plugins active? It sounds
like there is something intercepting the enterKey or returnkey message and not
passing it, perhaps in a frontscript.

Yikes! I've been working in LC 4.5.3 (that's the version I have an IOS
license for) and things were going fine. Suddenly, the msg box stopped
responding. No matter what I put into it, nothing is displayed and the stack
indicator shows RevErrorDisplay.
Scripts can write to the message box fine,
. But I also have to
say that the problem went away, somehow, many months ago, and has not returned.
