Re: Quick IDE question
Hi Graham Glad it worked. Getting the decorations and dragability back is just a matter of getting the stack rect within the rect of the screen. LiveCode IDE parts sometimes get a mind of their own and set out a wanderin’ — who knows why. Setting their loc to the screenloc will put them right in the centre of the screen so you can deal with them there.

Re: Quick IDE question
Stone the crows, it worked!! Even the decorations came back, and the ability to drag the window - neither of which are obviously related to the rect or height of the stack, as far as I can see. Thanks so much Martin. I wonder how just the Script Editor got so out of whack - but it’s just a theoretical wonder, as I am back to normal.

Re: Quick IDE question
Hi Craig The script editor is a stack just like any other so what you can do to a stack you can do to it. To find the name of it you can type the following into the Message Box: put the openstacks That will show a list in the message box of all the stacks open including the stack you are working on, here “My great app” and all the UI currently opened UI stacks. Message Box revNewScriptEditor 1 My great app revPropertyInspector 1 revInspector revTools Improve LiveCode Handler Finder revMenuBar com.livecode.palette.autocomplete.completions If you have more than one SE or property inspector it numbers them. i.e.. 1. open new Script in a new window 2. open a property inspector for a second object 3. Type in message box "put the openstacks" New listing Message Box revPropertyInspector 2 revInspector My great app revTools revNewScriptEditor 1 revNewScriptEditor 2 Improve LiveCode Handler Finder revMenuBar revPropertyInspector 1 com.livecode.palette.autocomplete.completions from the list of open stacks you can find the stack names so you can set their properties. You can set stack properties like loc rect, height, etc. You could make a small stack with buttons that set all your UI elements where you want them for each of your use cases and have them all fly to their respective positions and sizes. Maybe someone has made a plugin like that. Regards, Martin Koob > On Apr 29, 2020, at 9:20 AM, dunbarx--- via use-livecode > wrote: > > Can you explicitly set the rect of the SE?

Re: Quick IDE question
Hi Graham Try this in the message box set the rect of stack "revNewScriptEditor 1" to the screenrect; set the height of stack "revNewScriptEditor 1" to 750 Regards, Martin Koob > On Apr 29, 2020, at 9:11 AM, Graham Samuel via use-livecode > wrote: > > Since yesterday, running either LC 9.5.1 or 9.6.0 dp4 on a Mac, every time I > open the Script Editor window, it overfills my screen, so I can’t see the > bottom of the window.

Re: Quick IDE question
Can you explicitly set the rect of the SE? I do this all the time because I have it located on a large vertically oriented monitor adjacent to my main screen, and the loc needs to be refreshed now and then depending on other stuff I use them for.

Quick IDE question
Since yesterday, running either LC 9.5.1 or 9.6.0 dp4 on a Mac, every time I open the Script Editor window, it overfills my screen, so I can’t see the bottom of the window. There are no decorations, so I can’t resize or minimise the window; and dragging the window by the title bar doesn’t work either. I’ve restarted both versions but no joy. Everything else seems to be working normally and the other LC windows have decorations. I don’t believe I’ve ever seen this before. Does anyone know how I can get out of it?
