Conflict of interests

Somewhere, somewhen, developing some sort of code blocks I came up against a real nasty.
-

-
This is a 'pretty little' group consisting of an underlying image:
-

-
a drop-down menu, and a text field.

The whole confection is grouped, and the group contains this code:

Code: Select all

on mouseDown
grab me
end mouseDown

on attempting to grab the group and move it the IDE crashes.

The crash seems to occur when the mouseDown also triggers the popup thingy of the drop-down menu.

A mouseDown in area #1 allows the group to be moved without any problems.

A mouseDown in area #2 (the drop-down menu) crashes the IDE.

I solved the problem . . .

I deleted the code in the GROUP:

Code: Select all

on mouseDown
grab me
end mouseDown

and put this code into the codeblock image:

Code: Select all

on mouseDown
grab group "tMOVE"
end mouseDown

That was, frankly, an idea that annoyed me immensely that I had not thought of it sooner.

Maybe alternatively: if the name of the target is the name of me (the group) then grab me
?
