Hi,

Don't believe I have any frontscript gobbling up the arrow keys. I re-opened
LiveCode to a different stack with no key coding at all, and it also behaves
the same way. (Up/down arrows jump left/right over the line in the message
box output, but do not scroll the box's output history as I'd hoped.)

No matter. On advice from Chris, I rolled my own Log substack as a palette
and now send things to a handler that puts them into a field there. Works
like a charm.

I'm curious why it isn't working though. Could you type into the message box:

  edit script of the mousecontrol

Then place the mouse over the message box input field and hit the return key. The script of the message box field should open. The fourth handler from the top is this:

on arrowKey which
  if which is "up" then revPrevLine
  if which is "down" then revNextLine
  pass arrowKey
end arrowKey

Is that enabled?
