window set as higher then fysical screen?

Post by hpsh » Mon May 16, 2016 10:14 pm

somehow i has maximed my editor in livecode, on osx, and somehow the top of the editor window seems to be set as higher then my fysical screen, and cant get it to get to default size, since i don't see the top of the editor window.

basically, i don,t see the first 1 to 3 cm of the editor window, and don't see the 3 colored buttons at the right top of the edit window.

has tried to reinstall livecode, but don't help, has to be some setup file i need to delete, or edit to get a real clean install.

anyone that has any idea?

using liveCode 8.0.0 on osx 10.11.4

are pretty sure i has fixed something like this before, but just don't remember how.

did partly fix the problem, by changing scaling in setup back and forth, but the problem are there if i set the scaling to fit screen.

at least i can se the buttons at the top right.

The fastest way is to use the message box:

Code: Select all

set the top of stack "myStack" to 100
Or you can open the stack's property inspector and use the Size and Position pane to set the vertical location to a higher number.

can try it, but somehow it seems that the script editor work as it used to do, maybe the upgrade of osx fixed it.

anyway thanks :D

I misread your problem and thought you were talking about your own stack. LC should have resized the script editor to fit your screen. I'm glad it fixed itself.

If it happens again, put this into the message box:

set the top of the mousestack to 100

Then hover the mouse over the script editor and hit the return key to execute the message box command. (This will work on any stack, including your own stacks.)
