Grouping in LC 4.6.4

Post by mpmahen » Tue Sep 13, 2011 2:19 pm

The new version 4.6.4 has a problem with grouping. When you check 'behave like a background' it does not save and gets unchecked automatically. This is VERY frustrating!

Hi Maarten,

I did not yet update to 4.6.4, but please check the "Release Notes" (Menu: Help)!
There were some significant changes to the group/background behavior.

Maybe this is related to your problem or vice versa?


Best

Hi Maarten,

It is funny: while testing the trial version, I had exactly the opposite problem. It wouldn't uncheck and setting the backgroundBehavior from the message box throws an error. Frustrating indeed. I think this is an unwanted side-effect of a wanted change in the backgroundBehavior property.

Best,

Mark
