As an aside, I stumbled across the editMode property when I tried to use it as a property of a stack to store edit/view/search for a form/card. No bueno. Bob S > On Aug 23, 2017, at 03:04 , Mark Waddingham via use-livecode > wrote: > > P.S. This idea might also give a much better way to do

This is important in our world. not sure if I follow exactly what the issues are, but I can tell you what users need. But first of all, the paint tools seem to be badly broken here in 8.1.6 if I draw an oval it , appears but selects the entire card rect as the enclosing rect/container instead o

I added a comment to the bug report, but based on the amount of feedback so far (almost none) I'd say the change probably wouldn't affect many people. Whether it's a point-release change or a dev-release change is hard to say, but unless more people object I'd say it isn't a major shift and it

Hi all, We had an issue come into support about using the paint tools on a grouped image - this has come up before (years ago, at least). Basically, only the browser, pointer and help tools will recurse into groups - the paint tools will not. This means that if you use the paint tools over a
