With everyone's help, I think that I have found a recipe that demonstrates the
problem. Perhaps somebody else could try it. I build a simple stack with a
scrolling field ("Field") and a button ("Button"). The stack script is this:
local tMyScriptLocal1
local tMyScriptLocal2 = "ghijk"
local tMyScriptLocal3
on openStack
put "abcde" into tMyScriptLocal1
end openStack
command initLocal3
put "lmnop" into tMyScriptLocal3
end initLocal3
on buttonClick
initLocal3
put tMyScriptLocal1 & linefeed after Field "Field"
put tMyScriptLocal2 & linefeed after Field "Field"
put tMyScriptLocal3 & linefeed after Field "Field"
end buttonClick
The Button script is this:
on mouseUp
buttonClick
end mouseUp
If you run the script in the IDE, a button click will display:
abcde
ghijk
lmnop
Now Save As Standalone and then click the button again. It will display:
ghijk
lmnop
If somebody can confirm this behaviour, I will submit it to the QA Centre
(either adding it to the existing report or adding a new one).
Regards
Peter
