LC 6.1.1 issues ?

[Taligent]

Is it me or LC 6.1.1 is barely usable and highly unstable ?

Whereas everything was going fine under LC 5.5.3 and Mac OS 10.8.4, since I upgraded to 6.1.1 everything is going freaking wrong :
- LC unexpectedly quits for some reason (on "Save", when moving controls or sending them to back/front, sometimes when doing nothing, etc.).
- In a general manner, LC is now incredibly slow even when going from simple cards to simpler cards.
- It's almost impossible to move several controls together with the up/down keys (i.e. it takes several seconds to move them just ONE pixel up/down). But sometimes everything is fine. Or not and LC unexpectedly quits.
- "Close and remove from memory" does strictly nothing (i.e. stack remains open and is NOT removed from memory). Actually this is true for the main stack, it looks like it works more or less for substacks.
- Some errors are NOT handled properly (i.e. I have an handler which saves a stack whose name is stored in a global variable : believe it or not but if the global is empty the handler stops and there is no error message).
- OT, but the new project browser is barely usable unless you have at least a 32 768 pixels height monitor… And moreover everything is a mess mixing the main stack cards and substacks. Obviously the road to hell is paved with good/better/best intentions.

Of course, everything is back to normal when I reopen my stacks under LC 5.5.3.

Any ideas/feedbacks would be highly appreciated.

I too have reverted to 5.5.4. (Mac 10,5.8. Dual PPC G5, 2GHz)

I do not see the specific issues you mentioned, but there is no doubt in my mind that 6.1 crashes now and then. Maybe I never used v.6 enough to notice certain trends.

Anyone else get a sense that this is so?

MacBook Pro OSX 10.8.5, liveCode 6.1.1 ... no problems at all...

I had similar issues, though not all of them, when I left the new Project Browser open. Closing it and using only the older Application Browser stopped most of the crashes and odd behavior.

That was before 6.1.1 though. Since that release, I am now able to leave the Project Browser open without problems. But try not using it and see if things improve.
