9.6.2 (rc5) No context menus after script error

[n.allan]

Another bug that has annoyed me no end for a few versions. After a script error I can no longer right click my stack for context menu.

I am using 9.6.2 (rc5) on OSX 11.2.3 Big Sur

create a blank stack and edit the card script

Code: Select all

on doSomethingElse
   nonExistentHandler
end doSomethingElse

Right click the stack and send card message doSomethingElse. A script error will occur obviously because the handler "nonExistentHandler" does not exist.

After this error I lose the right click context menus on my stack. It has annoyed me for several versions.

I found this bug in quality and it is marked as "solved".

It might be sensible to merge your 2 recent postings as I suspect they are 2 sides of the same coin.
