LC905rc1 Standalone Weirdness with External Stacks

We have an app we're porting to LC9 (currently doing internal beta builds under LC9.0.5rc1) that we're seeing some weirdness when external stacks are opened by the standalone. This is happening under OSX. We've not seen it (so far) under Windows, but most of our initial QA testing is done unde

are calling External Stacks. The Standalone (again to my mind) is simply the runtime engine glued to the main stack you compiled with it. All other stacks, including the ones referenced in the Stack Files of the main stack are simply opened like the IDE would. Bob S On Jun 28, 2019, at 08:2

Question about "the screen" property of stacks...

The screen of stack X returns the number of the monitor (the line number for the screenRects) that the stack/window is on. How exactly is this determined? I presume it is based on the loc (location) property of the stack, since the window (effective rect or rect) itself can span multiple monit
