Re: Linux Requirements.
Build 1150 is working fine here - open and combo boxes work and look the way they should. I recall another developer having trouble with an option box when the stack was created on OSX and ported to linux. Removing the option box and making a new one in the linux environment solved the problem.

Screen shot from second LiveCode 4.5.2. Stack is simple drag controls from "Tool" window to "Main Stack" build as standalone and execute nothing else necessary.

Re: Linux Requirements.
Play by play:
Most of the usage of my particular application is remote (X secession, VNC) the current server would be considered a antique as would the Linux installation (using Runtime Revolution 2.x). Recently, it has been requested that I add features and upgrade the server consider the multitude of upgrades Runtime Revolution has experienced I started looking a 4.5.2. Since I had experienced issues with the Linux UI on a previous occasion I created a "Workbench" stack which consist of each basic control and a few custom deviations which failed. So, I created a 4.5.2 based standalone and made it accessible to those users who are somewhat computer literate (YMMV). All of which reported black controls. To ensure the issue was not specific to my 'Workbench' stack simply created a new 'Main Stack' and dragged the basic controls to it and built the 'Untitled 1' standalone. At this time I requested the users review it and report their results. Unfortunately, they still experienced the same issue which I was able to reproduce locally/remotely with multiple stacks/controls. Last night I upgraded the CentOS system (Compiz) and the local problem no longer exists.
