First time running LC 8 dp4 on Mac, no tools in palette

[emdalton]

The first time I ran LiveCode 8.0 dp 4 on my Mac, I got only the pointer and edit pointer in the tools palette. I hadn't run any version of 8 before on this system. I couldn't figure out any way to make them show, including quitting and restarting LiveCode. The "New Control" menu item also wasn't configured correctly (it had no objects in it, and a blank line after it in the menu) and selecting New Control made a... something. A gray rectangle that generated an error if I double-clicked it.

Then I tried "hiding" the Paint and Draw Tools, and oddly enough, that caused the rest of the tool palette to show up (minus the Paint and Draw tools). Now when I start LC it seems to behave normally.

This will probably need to be tested on a clean system install.

Hi Emdalton,

This is a known issue and will be fixed in DP5

To fix the issue (although it looks like you have managed too) is to restart LiveCode after its initial launch.

Kind Regards,

Neil Roger
