Re: variable window not applying changes

2021-11-24 Thread James Hale via use-livecode
Double clicking on the line in the variable list only opens a single watcher 
window.

If I do this in my current project I make a change, click "apply" and the 
previous value (before I made the change) returns!

I have since made a test stack to see if the problem persists.
It doesn't.
Making a change in a variable of the test stack worked as expected.

So whatever is happening is confined to my current project.
Very strange.

Restarting LC does not solve the issue.
Right now it is just an inconvenience but I am intrigued as to what is present 
in my current project that makes this happen.

When I complete it I will test again and if still present send the stack to LC 
(in a bug report.) and see if Panos can illuminate me.

Thanks for the comments.

James

Yes, that open rectangle with the right-upward pointing array

@Bernd.

" double-click on the icon in the varialble line:”

What icon? Do you mean the small box-with-arrow icon that appears when a 
multi-line variable is present in the lower list?

@James. 

I am on a Mac, but have never had a change made in the external variable window 
(certainly a stack) that did not make a change that did not stick.

This only happens to me if I accidentally double-click on the icon in the 
varialble line: then two windows pop up at the same location.
Changes in the topmost window and "applying" them do not change the variable. 
Apparently the lower window with the old values prevents that.

Kind regards

variable window not applying changes

2021-11-23 Thread James Hale via use-livecode
Hi,

I have been tracing a script and while stepping through notice an error in a 
variable.
I double clicked on the value in the variable list at the bottom of the SE 
window and brought up the variable window.
Made the  correction and clicked "apply".

Nothing happened.

This used to work, didn't it??

James
