Re: Screen not updating

Perhaps, but that is not the issue. If you set the dgHilitedLine or dghilitedIndex, the datagrid will scroll if necessary to make the line visible. The form updates because I have a selectionChanged handler in the data grid which does everything necessary, and I dispatch that to the data grid

Clone graphic does not respect dimensions

When I clone a graphic (an 8 by 8 pixel oval) in LiveCode 8.1.1 the copy comes out at the default size for a new oval, 120 by 120. That would not be a clone, in my opinion. Is it correct behaviour? Michael ___ use-livecode mailing list
