possible bug in 6.6.1 (stable) option menu

Post by Simon » Thu Jun 19, 2014 3:01 am

Win 7 liveCode 6.6.1

Recipe
1) open a new stack
2) drag an option menu onto it
3) right click and select properties
For me the cursor just turns into a "busy" indicator.
4) add a button to the stack
5) open it's property inspector (make sure it's unlocked)
6) select the option menu
I get this "stack "revTemplatePalette", ID 46763" as a label
7) click elsewhere in the stack
8) click on option menu
Everything is back to normal

Is there any point to filing a bug report for an old stable version?

It seems to be fixed in 6.6.2

Thanks,
Simon
Edit: HA.... silly smileys
Edit 2: IF the property inspector is already open before you add the option menu no problem.
I used to be a newbie but then I learned how to spell teh correctly and now I'm a noob!

Hi Simon,

I have seen similar quirks on a Mac. It was sporadic and did not occur often enough for me to see a pattern or track it down. Lately I don't see it anymore.

If it is gone for you in 6.6.2 I would not report it.

Kind regards
Bernd
