clickText bug in 3.0

No response on the Beta forum, so I'll post a link to it here.

Looks like the Beta forum's gone. What was the question?

The beta forum is still accessible to me. Whatever, here's the post:

I have an app that fails in 3.0, but worked fine in 2.9.

The returned value from "clickText" has changed.

According to the doc: A word, for purposes of the clickText, is any text delimited by spaces, tabs, returns, or punctuation. In the following example, "123,456" clickText returns the entire string. In the prior release, it returned either 123 or 456 depending on where in the string it was clicked. Add the following script to a button, click it, then click on each of the values in the field. The returned clickText is displayed in the Message Box.

Code: Select all

on mouseUp 
   if there is not a field "Test Field" then 
      create field "Test Field" 
      set the lockText of field "Test Field" to true 
      set the height of field "Test Field" to 50 
      put "123 456" & cr & "123, 456" & cr & "123,456" into field "Test Field" 
   end if 
   put the clickText 
end mouseUp 

I suspect it's treating the comma as a thousands separator for numerics. It works as "expected" with alpha characters.

A response in the Beta forum suggested I post this at the QA center, so I did. Frankly, the segregation of the two sites is a pain. How will anybody know what problems to be aware of unless they monitor two (or more?) sites?
