This sounds like it might be due to the breaking change in standalone building described in the release notes for 9.0:
https://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/9_0_0/LiveCodeNotes-9_0_0.pdf <https://downloads.livecode.com/livecode/9_0_0/LiveCodeNotes-9_0_0.pdf> I quote: The standalone builder has always needed to close the stacks it builds for reasons pretty deeply ingrained in the code. However this causes a few problems, for example: values in script locals become empty behaviors are broken when the parent script is on / in a stack which closes As an attempt to improve this situation, the code that locks messages when closing and opening stacks for standalone builds has been removed. This means that where previously mainstacks would not receive openStack and closeStack messages during standalone build, they now do. If this causes problems for your stack, you can exit from the handler if standalone building is in progress: on closeStack if the mode of stack "revStandaloneProgress" > 0 then exit closeStack end if end closeStack I hope this helps, Regards, Heather Heather Laine Customer Services Manager LiveCode Ltd www.livecode.com > On 1 Nov 2019, at 15:12, Douglas Ruisaard <do...@telus.net> wrote: > > This has happened a few times before... the following message never got > posted to " use-livecode@lists.runrev.com".
