JB, I had this happening with a button but could not track it down. However I don't think it is a bug. It seemed to only happen in scripts where I had a timing issue to begin with. Do you? I am still learning the appropriate use of "wait" and "wait with messages". Do any of your scripts us

I'm still learning the nuances of Rev (that's polite-speak for being dumb myself !!) but could this be a problem with messages queing up ? Maybe adding a get flushEvents("all") to the end of your handler/s would stop this ? best, Bob... White Rock, BC ___
