We're tracking down a Big Sur "bug/feature" that I don't have a recipe
stack for yet, but I'll explains as it *might* be related?
We've found that if a stack is internal to the .app under Big Sur (and
presumably Monterey) that has a video player, the video in the player
plays and pauses normally (i.e the UI is responsive to any messages to
the player or menus that control the player). i.e it behaves as expected
- normally.
However, if the player is in a LOCAL stack, but loaded from OUTSIDE the
.app package (say from the desktop or elsewhere in the Applications
folder, but outside the BUNDLE), then when the video is played, the UI
becomes non-responsive until the video is finished playing.
We have seen other issues relating to file and folder actions that FAIL
under Catalina and up if performed from a loaded external stack but work
if loaded from a substack as part of the .app build. (Stacks in the app
bundle, but external to the .app standalone may work - we've not tested)
We think this is due to Apple's permission scheme under Catalina and
above and how it tries to detect resource access in real time and
perhaps something about the stack being external sets the permissions
system off.
I mention it in the unlikely case you are loading a external stack prior
to your message box tests.

Thanks, looks like it's just me. Glad I asked here first, but I have
no idea what might be causing it. .

Thanks for the reply. I should have mentioned I'm on Mac OS X Big Sur.

These are working for me in the message box under LC 10.0.0dp2 (64bit)

I'm trying out LC 10.0.0dp2 and the message box doesn't seem to be
working. I'm just checking here before I report it, in case it's just
me. None of the following work, the message box doesn't error but no
response appears:
put the number of cds
put the number of cds of this stack
put the number of cards of stack "mystack"
the rect of stack "mystack"
edit script of <control>
etc.
This works sometimes:
set the rect of this stack to <coords>
I'm not positive but it seems that "put" isn't working but "set" does.
Maybe.
Also, keyboard shortcuts do not open the script editor, nor do
contextual menus show when Cmd-Control-Shift clicking. The only way I
can currently get to scripts is via the property inspector button or
the Objects menu. Cmd-opt-click doesn't open scripts of controls, and
since those aren't in the Object menu I need to use the property
inspector since typing "edit script of btn <whatever" in the message
box does nothing.
I've double-checked the Messages button in the toolbar and toggled it
a few times, but no change. I tested on a couple of stacks in case it
was stack-related.
Just me?
