REGRESSION in LC 9.6.9rc2
Sadly, I just found another serious regression in LC 9.6.9rc2 that seems to cause dropdown menus in modal dialogs to fail. Code that works in LC 9.6.8 does not work at all in 9.6.9rc2 See https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24133 I am hoping LC can fix this for 9.6.8rc3 or, like the last regression in rc2 I found, can provide a script fix I can apply to rc2 ___ 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

Re: REGRESSION in LC 9.6.9rc2
The one in the example stack submitted with the bug report. The point is not about UI design. It's that code and objects that worked in LC 9.6.8 does not work at all in 9.6.9rc2.

Hello Paul, i added a comment already to your bug report. I tried your sample stack here with macOS13.2 and LC 9.6.9RC2. The dropdown menu appears here when clicking "Build Criteria".

Re: REGRESSION in LC 9.6.9rc2
Matthias, Thank you for macOS testing. I primarily develop on Windows and had not yet tested on our Mojave macOS Powerbook. It does indeed work on macOS. I just added to the bug report an improved test stack that presents a Dialog with a: Pulldown menu - works under 968 (Mac+Win), and 969rc2 on Mac, not under 969rc2 on Windows 10 Option menu - works under 968 (Mac+Win), and 969rc2 on Mac, HARD CRASH under 969rc2 on Windows 10 Combo Box menu - works under 968 (Mac+Win), and 969rc2 on Mac, not under 969rc2 on Windows 10 Popup menu - works under 968 (Mac+Win), and 969rc2 on Mac, not under 969rc2 on Windows 10 NOTE: My LC 969rc2 on macOS (Mojave) is the straight download. My LC 969rc2 on Windows 10 has had 3 REGRESSION FIXES applied to the IDE code to fix: https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24038 https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24044 https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24046 I can't see how any of these IDE code fixes for these regressions could impact menus in modal dialogs. I will try to test on Windows with unmodified LC 969rc2 If the 1 to line code fixes to the IDE code regressions above in 969rc2 are causing menus in modal dialogs not to work (and worse with the Option menu a HARD CRASH) then I think this still constitutes a real and serious bug. I need menus in modal dialogs to work AND fixes to all 3 bugs above. On 3/7/2023 2:39 PM, matthias rebbe via use-livecode wrote: Hello Paul, i added a comment already to your bug report.

Re: REGRESSION in LC 9.6.9rc2
Hi Paul I believe this issue is already resolved for RC3. It is in the engine so not something that can be scripted around unfortunately.

Re: REGRESSION in LC 9.6.9rc2
I just tested the "Main.livecode" test stack (in the bug report) on a Windows 11 system with a unmodified install of LC 969rc2 freshly downloaded and it exhibits the same bug(s) with all 4 menu object types as noted in Comment 2 above. This appears to be a Windows specific regression of LC 969 under Windows 10 and 11.

Re: REGRESSION in LC 9.6.9rc2
Monte, Thank you! Yes, it does appear I just spent several hours tracking down a DUPLICATE bug entry. Curse me for NOT searching the bug database FIRST! So, I guess my next task is to pester Kevin and /or Mark tomorrow to get me 969rc3 ASAP as I was literally QA testing the last bug before customer release of an maintenance update to our app based on 969rc2 (with regression fixes) when I discovered this!

Re: REGRESSION in LC 9.6.9rc2
Hi Paul RC3 is not far off and both Kevin and Mark are already very keen to get it out already. I believe there are arrangements for access to internal builds, however, I’m not sure of the fees involved. Might be best to query Heather on that.

Re: REGRESSION in LC 9.6.9rc2
Monte, Thanks again. I wasn't really going to pester Kevin or Mark. I save all my pestering for their monthly Livecode Global Fireside Chats ;-) I am glad to hear rc3 may be soon. I'll have to review our release timing and then, only if needed, contact Heather. We'll have to do a bunch of retesting under rc3 anyways. -- Paul On 3/7/2023 6:55 PM, Monte Goulding via use-livecode wrote: Hi Paul RC3 is not far off and both Kevin and Mark are already very keen to get it out already.
