Tip liveCode 6.6.1 lockup Win 7

Post by Simon » Fri Aug 01, 2014 10:49 pm

Hi all,
I have 2 lockup situations in 6.6.1, these are not crashes.
1) The IDE lockups up and does a "curtsy" a little dip, this one is cool and you just have to wait for it to return to normal while the IDE is unresponsive (I think I always try to close the Project Browser, not sure if it matters).
2) When selecting a line in the script editor sometimes the IDE becomes unresponsive. This is the tough one. You'll recognize it because the cursor remains a a "bar". For Win 7 users how I fixed it is to WinKey + Tab my way to just the bare desktop then WinKey + Tab to the IDE Main menu, at that point you should have the ability to save your stack or continue working. Either way I'd shut down liveCode as soon as possible and start again.

HTH
