Something outside of LC changed my card?

[Chilton]

Hi,

Does anyone know why I'd suddenly start getting these error messages in LC 7?

I get them pretty often, about once every half hour or so. Not regular intervals though, sometimes 5 minutes apart.

I am only working on one project, and have not touched the stack with any other tools.

Yep, same here and I have no clue.

That can occur when the script is modified by any other means outside of the script editor, such as by another script while you have it open for editing.

If that's not what's happening in your circumstance it would be very useful if you're able to pin down a recipe for that. I saw that once many moons ago, but it never recurred so I never found a reportable recipe.

Between this and the other issue you found with an unexpected number of lines being deleted in the script editor, as valuable as it is to have someone with your experience helping to test the v7 beta, if you're up against a deadline you may want to consider working with the current shipping version instead, 6.6.3:

not the case here and no recipe yet.

Umm, in my case this project needs LC7

Thierry, this bug report may be of interest:
http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11625

It's specific to scripts edited in LibreOffice and then pasted in LC, so I wonder if there may be an issue with now line endings or other characters used on external editors may affect scripts.

Were you ever editing any scripts with any external editor?

No sorry, it was on Mac (Mavericks) and only using Livecode 7 in this case.
But but but, might be that I somehow copy-paste some code from LC6 to LC7...

No other clue

Same here, 7 on Mavericks.

I also noticed this happen a couple times in LC 7 (RC1) running in ubuntu 14.04 . No recipe either.

I've seen it in all versions of LiveCode, but not regularly. It must be worse in 7 now. I haven't been able to get a recipe either, but it seems to have something to do with leaving a script open and changing the focused stack. But I'm not sure that's it because it doesn't happen every time.

Just a thought, not using LC7, to edit an object in a group in LC you Click the edit group button then edit the object within the group - e.g. amend the script, then click edit group to back out - back to the group level. [or at least that's what I do].

If in LC7 you edit the object in a group without clicking the edit group button first could this produce this result? Something procedural 'like this' could explain the randomness.
