Hi All,

I am using Livecode 4.6.3.

I have an annoying, but not critical, problem with the messagebox. It keeps popping up and then disappearing again. Seems to be whenever I change windows. Is there some setting that I have to change to make it stay dormant?

cheers

Are you using two monitors? I get this when I move the cursor to my second monitor and I go outside the bounds of the main monitor.

Hi Mark,

yes, I am using two monitors. The annoying thing is that the messagebox lurks around at the bottom of the left screen which I only use occasionally. I swear the damn thing is watching me. I'm just waiting for it to pounce and take over

Is there a fix to this, do you know? Or should I just get used to my paranoid anxious mode of working in Livecode?

cheers

did anyone find out how to fix this
its driving me insane!!!

Do you have the glx plugin?
I removed it and the message box doesn't pop-up anymore.

Hi,

Same for me. I deleted the GLX plugin and it's not been a problem since.

cheers

thank you thank you
yes the popping box gremlin is DEAD!

Yeah - when you move outside the screen bounds of the main monitor (like down to the bottom of the second monitor) the message box pops up. I'm holding off the next release until I can find what's doing that. It drives me crazy.

I'm sure there's an orphan put somewhere.

I'm sure there's an orphan put somewhere.

I like the new feature of LC 6 in the message box "show last output source" that opens the script at the line that has put something into the message box.

Kind regards
Bernd

Hah! Got the message box pop up thing fixed. Some leftover code for hiding the tools palette and message box - I had the tools thing disabled but not the message box. That's fixed now and I'll post the update to the website tonight.

I also added a trap for the revSEGoExecutionPoint message to that GLX2 can respond to the message box source button as well.
