As you can see, this is a load of rubbish:

As the button that refers to the card has no visible text:
Code: Select all

go to card KARD
end menuPick
But that is because the
backGroundFill of the tabbed button has been set to white:

Why the F-F that should affect the tab escapes me completely.

You may have to play around with the "backColor" and the "textColor" of a tab panel a bit. Maybe the confusion is what those properties actually refer to in that sort of compound control.

Very much so: a far more experienced programmer and LiveCoder fell foul of this this week.

Does this behave differently cross-platform?

There was/is a bug report about this, I think it started in Catalina. As far as I know it's only Mac but I haven't tried it on Windows. I vaguely recall it was fixed but I can't swear to it.

I would be most grateful if you could run this on Windows and post a snapshot here.

I’m pretty sure it’s a Mac-only issue. On windows I believe it inherits the colour from its container or some such.

Not sure what I'm supposed to check, but just on opening the stack in 9.6.7 on Windows I get:

Yep - OSX only, and for some reason, by design.

no worries though. The certificate expired a couple of days ago. I'm sure Robin will sort things out.

All rather a big pity that Fraser Gordon left the ship.
