version and OS, runrev studio 2.7.1 mac OS X 10.4.6
When I click the inspector button in the top tool bar 50% of the time it palettes itself to the Menu-bar, so I can not close it or access anything on the left hand side of the desktop. The only way I can figure out to close it and try to get it from doing this is force quit out of revolution. Re start re launch all the plug ins ect. and start over again. After a few times each day this becomes super frustrating, to say the least.
Is there any way of stopping this? or to close it without force quitting? or is this a bug that needs to be fixed?
Any help is appreciated. Thank You.

I can very well understand your frustrations. This kind of bugs should simply not exist and they are not necessary. For RunRev, it will be easy to add a script to make sure that the property inspector opens in a convenient place.
Having that said, I'll give you a line you could type in the message box:
close stack "revPropertyPalette 1"
Note that you may have to change the number 1 into the number of the property inspector that bothers you. You could also write a script to close them all:
on closePropInsp
put the openStacks into myList
filter myList with "revPropertyPalette*"
repeat for each line myLine in myList
close stack myLine
end repeat
end closePropInsp

Hi Obleo,
The Revolution IDE is a set of stacks and scripts. Everything is changeable, theoretically, although a small portion of the scripts is password protected. This makes it easy to remove bugs from the IDE yourself or to add features to it. You may also want to considere making your own plugin, if you are not using Media. Plugins are easier to include in the next update than changes in the IDE. Such a plugin could contain the script I posted earlier in this thread, for instance.
