Hi,

I've had this problem or something very like it in the past, but I could never reproduce it. I think that sometimes RunRev gets itself in a state whereby it creates a "rouge" object and that objects causes all kinds of side-effects.

If you still have the errant stack, I suggest you send it to RunRev support as it may have some tell-tale signs that would allow them to trace where the object is coming from.

All the Best
Dave

Has anyone ever seen this?
(Tried on Rev 2.6.1, 2.7.x on Mac OSX; Rev 2.7 on Win XP)

I have a stack in which I am accessing a mysql database and displaying lots of unicode text. I noticed that my openCard and closeCard handlers on one of the cards weren't being executed on moving between cards. I did some investigating using the message watcher and noticed the following:

- When I first open the stack I get the expected sequence of card and stack messages:
        preOpenBackground
        preOpenCard
        openStack
        openBackground
        openCard

-When I go to the next card, either via a button handler or a View menu shortcut, I get:
        closeCard
        preOpenBackground
 That's all.

From this point on I get no open or close (including preOpen/Close) messages sent to cards or backgrounds.

Then I tried creating a new card with nothing on it except go next and go prev buttons, and set that card to be card 1.

- Again when I first opened the stack I got the normal sequence of open/close messages.

- When I go from the blank card to any other card OR from any other card back to the blank card I get the expected:
        closeCard
        preOpenCard
        openCard

- However, when I go from any of the other cards to any card except the blank one I see:
        closeCard
        preOpenBackground

OKAY, while I was composing this email I noticed that one of the cards contained a rogue group, one I don't remember creating and which had the same name of an image object on the card. The group had no objects in it. Once I deleted this group the open and close messages began working again. I decided to send this along anyway for you all to tuck into the back of your brains as something to check if your open and close messages ever stop working.
