I don't think there's any problem with cmd-period in OS-X; but there is, and always has been, a problem that cmd-period doesn't work if you've got a modal dialog in the way.

Very true, but I think there's a problem with Command-period inside any repeat loop as well, regardless of whether it displays a modal or not.

Try this:

on test
 put 0 into tNum
 repeat
  if the shiftkey is down then exit repeat
  add 1 to tNum
  put tNum
 end repeat
end test

Issue "test" from the message box. Now try to Command-period out of it. If the shiftkey bypass wasn't in there, you'd have to force-quit.

Huh? Ooer... 2.7 bug. I tried your test in 2.6.1 (currently still my "production" system) and in 2.5.1, because I happened to have it open as well - cmmd-period interrupted fine in both cases.

Then I launched the 2.7.1 that I have for gingerly dipping my toe into - and I see your point! I'm just trying to update it to 2.7.2 (though it's a shame to lose the 2.x.1 rhythm) - but I assume that a modern person such as yourself is using that already.

So this is a bug introduced in some version of 2.7 - does this represent a touching confidence by RunRev that their user-programmers are now so sophisticated that they'll never make mistakes anymore, sort of like Steve Jobs removing the reset switch on Macs? Feels like another reason for me to stick on 2.6.1, since I know just how not-sophisticated *I* am!
