Re: Screen not updating with unlock screen
The short answer is that the right way to 'fix' this is to use wait 0 secs with messages (or wait 0 millisecs with messages - same thing :-) Now you said that doing that produced some strange behaviour - can you describe it in more detail, and we'll see if we can figure that out (and / or fix it). Thanks -- Alex. btw - you can't attach anything to mails to this list - best way is to include a URL like you did here.

I am having an issue getting output to display during a loop. I've tried lock/unlock screen but unlock screen does not seem to cause the screen to update. The only thing that works is wait 0 seconds but this causes bizarre behavior in some cases (mouseDown/mouseUp not behaving correctly [even when I use wait with messages]). I'm starting to wonder if this is a bug in LiveCode? Here is a video: http://www.jrirecordings.com/public/putXShowsOnScreenCapture.mp4 which shows some possibly odd behavior. The example in the video is simple: repeat with x = 1 to 1000 put x end repeat When I run this in the message box, what I see on the screen is a blank result for a couple of seconds, then 1000 appears. When I do a screen capture of that loop running, I still don't see anything on the monitor until it is done, but on the screen capture, it shows the number incrementing over the course of those couple of seconds until it hits 1000. (Note: I've run this with the put x wrapped in lock/unlock screen and that doesn't show anything on the screen either). Is there some way aside from wait 0 seconds to force the screen to show output?

Re: Screen not updating with unlock screen
The other consideration is that the loop is likely going so fast that even with the wait 0 line the screen update may be too slow to keep up and the only thing you'll get will be the final number. -- Peter Peter M.

Belay that. I just tested it, and wait 0 works as intended, with or without with messages -- Peter Peter M.
