RE: Disappear script editors
Hi Howard: Thanks for the sanity check! It isn't just me! I will try your suggestion, but am sure that it will prompt me to finally insist that my management installed a second monitor for me. Having a two (or three!) monitor setup is vital with Director and Photoshop type apps and it is proving to be the same with Revolution. Thanks all for the help. --Mark -Original Message- From: Howard Bornstein [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, July 20, 2003 8:29 PM >I switch apps through the task bar and when I return to Revolution, the >script editor is always hidden behind the stack window.

Mark, I just verified that the same thing happens on my Windows 2000 system. The script editor isn't really gone but is placed behind the stack. If you leave the script editor visible somewhere on your screen, you can just click in it to get back into Rev with your editor showing, rather than using the taskbar to get back to Rev. That's the way I do it. Regards, Howard Bornstein D E S I G N E Q www.designeq.com ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

It is behavior that is completely unintuitive and am assuming it is something in my settings or operations. But kick me in the teeth if I know what. OK, so the script editor is not gone it's just behind another window. The Window menu has a shortcut Control-` for "send window to back" On Windows 2K I can get to the script editor that way. Use the task bar or Alt-tab to return to Revolution then I hit Control-` once or twice until the script editor is in the foreground. I don't think this is really a bug, you were just expecting the Rev windows to behave differently. There are probably other users who would expect their stack window, or the application browser, or the properties inspector to be in the foreground :-) Alex Rice, Software Developer Architectural Research Consultants, Inc. http://ARCplanning.com ___ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution

RE: Disappear script editors
I switch apps through the task bar and when I return to Revolution, the script editor is always hidden behind the stack window. (The script editor window does show in the Revolution Window menu.) I am not hitting Return or Enter or Alt-Tab. I am on Windows 2000. It is a two click operation...I am in the script editor, click on a (say) Note Pad document in the taskbar, and immediately click back on the stack button in the taskbar, and the script editor is gone. It is behavior that is completely unintuitive and am assuming it is something in my settings or operations. But kick me in the teeth if I know what. Mark This never happens to me either... Is it possible you are hitting the Return key? Hitting return will apply the changes in the script editor, and hitting Return again will close the script editor. If you look in the Window menu in Revolution- is the script editor open & just hidden by another window? What version of Windows are you running? How are you switching apps? task bar, Alt-Tab, something else?
