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!

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.
