Jacque, I don’t think I can make a bug report yet. I don’t have it isolated outside my project; which LC will surely tell me to do! I’ll work on trying to isolate the issue. What I know is this: (1) My project runs perfectly with acceleratedRendering enabled – except when the app is

This is a problem we can't fix in scripts. The only solution is not to use libraries (or acceleratedRendering, apparently.) Ouch… seriously? Clearly "unacceptable" in a product that makes the deployment claims that LC does. Hopefully HQ will put this on the top priority. I'm going

It might be accelerated rendering, but it could also be the bug where libraries are unloaded and not restored. That's the bug I linked to. There's no good workaround for it. Since the Siva app uses libraries almost exclusively, it would certainly be affected. BR: the "cicle" is the Home key

I think Dan's onto something with the accelerated rendering. I've done some testing and it's not conclusive yet. I think if you have accelerated rendering on AND you are on a card with a scrolling control(dynamic maybe?) That is when you can't resume without a crash. I will look closer when I

I took Ralph’s advice and made a 0 line stack to try to recreate the issue. To my astonishment, the app didn’t have the same problem! So, I went back to my project and started to trace what I have in my app that might be causing the problem. After a while, I discovered that if I do not

There's more to it than just the script. I thought the problem was just in issuing the quit command but Dan can reproduce it using the Home key (and I bet the Recents key would do the same.) It looks like the engine is unloading libraries in all these cases and not restoring them on resume. I

I have built my android app with LC 8.1.5. It runs fine on the device. You then hit the home button to return to the OS. Tap the app icon again and you get “Unfortunatly, [appName] has stopped.”. Tap the icon again and it does a complete reboot of the app. Apps made in LC 7 did not have
