(Rev 1.1.1B1)
There seems to be an unintended interaction between send commands from the message box
and return data from scripted functions.
The example here is pared down to the smallest case where I've seen the problem:
I have a function in the script of stack "soandso" that looks something like this:
function myFunction
return "something interesting"
end my function
Down the script a ways is the handler:
on myCommand
get myFunction( )
put "totally different"
end myCommand
Now in the message box I type this:
send myCommand to stack "soandso"
In the message box output field I see the words "totally different" flash for just an
instant. They are replaced immediately by the words "something interesting", even
though the return value was never put anywhere, let alone the message box.
If I delete the put command in myCommand handler, the return value from myFunction
still shows up in the message box. Whether or not myFunction has arguments or is
called with arguments makes no difference.
If I invoke the handler from a button in the stack, the words "totally different"
appear in the message box, as expected, and they aren't replaced. However, if I send
mouseUp to button "myButton" of stack "soandso", the weirdness returns.
Note in all of this that if I call a built-in function instead of myFunction, behavior
is normal -- no leaks from function returns to the message box. If I call more than
one of my own functions in myCommand handler, only the last one called has its result
appear in the message box.
