A bug in LC 9.6.9 rc2 for the ask dialog on Windows (apparently a regression)

Kind regards

I did see the dictionary:

It's like this:
ask question "Enter the business name." titled (field "fieldboxtitle" of cd "template1")

AHA!
Thanks for the info, same applies to macOS 12.6.3 and LC 9.6.9 rc2.

Hi Jacque, thanks, I tried it with the brackets, but it did not remedy. I reported it to LC and I'm awaiting their response. I did the diagnostic with message box, and same result no cursor in the dialog box.

Did the issue that no blinking cursor appeared in the field go away?

Bernd nailed it, it's a known bug. He's always on top of things. .

My problem has now gone away. It was a complicated situation where I had two working folders in windows, and when I deleted one, the prob went away.
