"Hide Others" in Mac version

[Tony]

In the Mac version of LiveCode, would it be possible to get the "o" in "Hide others" in the LiveCode menu capitalized? Revolution/LiveCode is the only Mac application I've ever seen that doesn't have both words of that menu item capitalized.

Hi Tony,

I am not sure we/the mothership can do anything about this, since these menuitems like "Hide XYZ" etc. are supplied by the underlying OS, macOS here.
No problems here with a german OS however.

You can create a bug report here: http://quality.runrev.com

Thanks, Klaus. I'll do that.

I have always assumed (based on little knowledge of how these things work) that, as you suggest, the OS controls how that menu displays. Which is why it has always perplexed me that LiveCode differs from every other Mac application.

as far as I know LiveCode doesn't care if you use upper-case or lower-case letters anyway.

As Klaus mentioned, that's the operating system at work. There's nothing in LiveCode that inserts that menu item.
As to why it's showing up lowercase, I don't have a clue.

If I remember right we are allowed to adjust the Preference item, I wonder if that's interacting adversely.

IIRC only the application menu and the Help menu contain automatically generated items. At least in my own apps I've been handling the Window menu myself - is there a way I don't have to?

Definitely report this. Whether that item is supplied by LC or the OS it's wrong, not how other apps capitalize "Others".

I reported it.

It's been that way since the first version of Revolution I ever tried, 10 years ago (or more?). It would warm this old copy editor's heart to see it corrected.

Well, waddaya know... turns out it was in the LC engine, not in the IDE files.

fix is on the way.
