Re: Property inspector opening with wrong object
MouseOver? Perhaps, mouseChunk or mouseCharChunk? And you ask for the number of words from char 1 to word 4 of either of those functions?

Re: Property inspector opening with wrong object
Hi Neville I have started noticing this as well recently. I haven’t bothered to try and track down what was going wrong. I thought It was something happening in the stack I was working on. I had a mouseOver handler in a field to identify the word the mouse was over using mouseChunk so I thought that was causing it. However I did not do tests to confirm that. I have only been using LC 9.6.2 and then more recently I upgraded to LC 9.6.3.

Re: Property inspector opening with wrong object
What happens if you open the object inspector, then select an object on a card? It *should* change to the properties of the selected object.

Re: Property inspector opening with wrong object
Hi. I have never seen this on my Mac. How do you open the inspector? By double-clicking a selected object when with the pointer tool? By selecting from the “Object” menu?
