Hi LiveCoders I’m off for the next couple of weeks (back on the 9th). Roughly half the team return on the 4th and most of the rest on the 9th. If you are taking a break I hope it’s a good one. I’m planning lots of work in the garden which has been thoroughly neglected over the past few months.

Point taken. However, being an IT person and having to work with customers to resolve their issues, I find that regularly, the user will miss some critical piece of information that would take me right to the problem. Not only that, I have found that more times than I would like to admit, the cu

To be fair, a test stack isn't always required. They're actually pretty flexible about that. What I meant in my post was that if the test does, in fact, need a stack in order to adequately report it, I tend to procrastinate because I'm almost always in the middle of something else. If there's a

IMO, having a *requirement* for a user to create a test stack - EVEN IF THE SIMPLE DESCRIPTION IS CLEAR AND UNAMBIGUOUS - is an unacceptable bureaucratic nonsense. I'm all in favour of creating test stacks to demonstrate a problem - esp. if the originally failing stack is complex, or if this c

I think the scroll wheel sends arrow keys, but since there isn't a "rawkeysdown()" function to match the keysdown() function it would require either an external or the function to be added with livecode builder. At which point I wonder.. Is there a way to hook in to the system timer? (the one that

The new dictionary is indeed different. It is (mostly) implemented using the Bootstrap framework, which also means that much of it is more webby than the rest of us might like (try to expand the window and see what happens). Other than the tab control, the rest is one big browser widget, so the b
