Re: Ineffective lazy screenRect
Ya know, I remember a good while back, several years, that in the process of debugging I would get into these unstable states. It was something in my code that was throwing an error, but the debugger instead of catching it and stopping at the line, basically looked like it completed. But it didn't. It was like a script was still running but I was able to interact with the UI to some extent. Bob S > On Mar 14, 2019, at 12:31 , J.

Yes, there is a valuable lesson: reel in one's impulsive nature, and don't panic. Richmond.

I wrote also things to the use-list (mostly silly typos) I wished a few seconds later I could correct them. The ability to correct things easier is one reason I like the forum more than the use-list (relates to the environment, not the members). ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode

Having written that,and having reopened LC 9.0.3 it behaved "as it should" and reported my screen height as 1080. Had that happened initially I would not have started this thread. Richmond.

What is not working is that 1034 is the number given regardless of whether the words *effective* and *working* are used or not. Richmond.

Ineffective lazy screenRect
So, "here" on macOS 10.14.4 beta 5 with LC 9.0.3 rc-1 [ "Edge City" as they used to say when I wore flared jeans ], when I put *put the working screenRect * into the msgBox I get *0,23,1920,1034* that includes the macOS Dock and the menuBar! *put the effective screenRect* just throws an error, and *put the effective working screenRect* also gives me *0,23,1920,1034* which is not very useful at all.
