I installed LiveCode 8.1.2
When I open the message box and type in
go card "foo"
and hit enter
(as found on page 25 of "Programming Livecode for the real beginner")
nothing happens, nothing shows.
I don't get "no such card" as was suggested.

Other things work in the message box.

There was (is?) a long standing glitch in the matrix with the message box.

If you click in the lower text field while in single line mode, and just hit return once or twice, and then try your thing again, does the problem go away?

Hi all,

This sounds like a bug.

Try this:

Code: Select all

Best,
