Problem with restoring stack windows back to maximum

[ZSGoEmpire]

I'm new here, I'm not sure if this topic is already available in this forum but so far I can't find any topic related to this.

I had this problem of my application after I restore the screen size back to full screen after it was minimize for a long time.
This is what happened and its intermittent
1. First when I minimize my app (set iconic of the stack to true) into taskbar
2. I do other task or run other application
3. then I restore my app from minimize by clicking the app in the taskbar
4. sometimes my app seems to be blacked but with some object visible, and sometimes I could see the whole app but when I move my mouse over the objects, the mouse will be invisible in some objects (not all) usually by group objects.


Please help

Hi ZSGoEmpire,

1. welcome to the forum!

2. Please always note what OS, OS version and what version of LC you are using.

3.

Please help

Well, that is what forums are for, aren't they?

oh sorry, I am using LiveCode Community 7.0.4 on windows 10 pro.

Can you try this again with LC 8.x and see if that works reliably?
Version 7 will not get updated anymore -> EOL!

Thank you for your suggestion, my problem is I can't upgrade to a newer version cause we are a group of programmers and also we had tried using newer version but we encounter other compatibility problems that need to change a lot of code, so the group decided to go back to this version.

My initial suspect is a problem with the layering as something is on top of some of the objects.

At least try LC 7.1.4, there were a lot of fixes and it is very stable.

It will be in your project's best interest to try with the most recent version, currently v8.1 RC1. Significant changes have occurred since the earlier Preview releases, and there are very few changes (none that I can recall offhand) by design, so what works in v7 should work in v8. Anything that doesn't would be a regression that the team will want to address. And since there is only one version being maintained going forward, if there's a regression you'll want them to fix it. Everyone wants the same thing. Make it possible: please test with the latest version, and if you encounter a regression please report it so that it can be fixed before the final release.
