I am running the Community Edition vers 7.1.1 Build 10048 on Ubuntu

I am just getting started with Livecode and was laying out the gui
for my first little project. I'm not sure what I did but the
cursor changed to the hand pointer and now I can no longer work
with any of my controls. Most of the menu items are greyed out but
I could select quit. When I did that I was allowed to save my work,
but when I opened it back up I still could not get rid of the hand
pointer. Clicking on the run tool or edit tool does nothing.
Do any of you experienced people have any idea what I could have
done to cause this and how I can get back to normal operations?
Hi Jim,
First of all, welcome to Livecode. My response may not be very
useful, but I will give it a go. I do not do much work in Linux that
requires me to use the UI. But, I would check that you are not
setting the pointer yourself with ‘choose’ command: e.g. 'choose
browse tool’ or ‘choose pointer tool’.
Also, check for ‘set the cursor to watch’ or some other shape. This
would be wrapped with a ‘lock cursor’ and ‘unlock cursor’.
If you are not using any of these commands, it is probably a bug in
the IDE not handling these commands internally. The IDE itself is
written in Livecode.
Mark,
At the point the problem occurred I hadn't written a line of code. I
had dropped a label control on the card and expanded it's size. Then I
dropped 2 radio buttons inside the boundaries of the of the label. I was
renaming them and changing the label text when the problem occurred.
Should this turn out to be a bug, please feel free to write a bug
report to Livecode: http://quality.livecode.com
<http://quality.livecode.com/> It will require you to make an
account, but it is pretty easy.
I will wait a little longer, wouldn't want to waste their time if it was
my mistake.
Hopefully, some regular user of Livecode on Linux will chime in with
more experience.
