strange message box behaviour

Post by rozek » Mon Jun 30, 2008 7:14 am

Good morning!

This morning, I tried to test some of my Transcript code by sending a message from the message box - and ran across some unexpected behaviour...

Here is what I found out by looking at the problem:

if I enter

Code: Select all

put me
into the message box, I get
stack "Message Box"
as a result - so far, so good.

If I enter

Code: Select all

put hugo(me)
with

Code: Select all

function hugo StackReference
  return StackReference
end hugo
being a function in a library stack, I get
put hugo(me)
instead.

Does anybody have an explanation for this behaviour?

Thanks in advance for any help!
Kind regards,

Andreas Rozek

ok,

I found a very similar problem in the Quality Control Center (see http://quality.runrev.com/qacenter/show_bug.cgi?id=6386)

I will append my problem to that report.

By the way: the Message Box seems to be quite buggy, looking at the number of bug reports which deal with it.
Kind regards,
