Re: Bug Report 2.5b6
This happens with converted HyperCard stacks. HyperCard has only one kind of popup button, and so your choices are similarly limited when the stack is brought into MetaCard. You need to set the hcAddresing property to false, which will elminate this behavior and allow you to set any kind of menu button you need. (All HC imported stacks have their hcAddressing set to true by default.) -- Jacqueline Landman Gay Thanks! I've discovered that such stacks even have difficulty when you create a new button. I sometimes forget they've been imported, as they are now so different than the original. Thank you, Jacque!

I also noticed you pointed out that "Sort cards of this background by card field one" (for example) i.e. sort cards by background does not yet work. Is that scheduled for 2.5 or later? It doesn't seem to work in 2.5b6. A workaround for that is to put a hidden field on each card with the number of the background and then to do a series of sorts sort cards by card field title --or whatever... sort cards by hiddenBackGround as long as the backgrounds are sequentially numbered I believe this works fine, though I have only tested it very briefly.

Bug Report 2.5b6
Sorry to say the MC 2.5b6 does not import pop up buttons from hypercard properly. These are buttons with "contents", of style "Popup". The buttons import, the scripts import, but the contents do not. At first I thought this was just an incompatibility or a failure to compact my stack before importing. Nope. Further, I checked it in 2.4.3 - in 2.4.3 the contents of popup buttons imported from hypercard are retained. So, it's a bug. A temporary workaround, which I will try, is to import the stack from MC 2.4.3 and then use it in 2.5. I see no reason why that would not work. On a brighter note, the styled text in 2.5b6 works wonderfully! All accented characters which I tested (lower case accent grave, aigu, circonflex, and es-zet) worked fine, even when mixed with italics and export properly as RTF. Colors do not though, but presume that is not a bug. Now that we have a firewall I am going to see about getting the metacard internet browser running through a proxy. No promises though.
