Turns out it was one of my plug ins… you can see the bug report where the
problem was attributed to the DataGrid Helper… but I don't use the DGH and I
had problems with an old old stack I've had for 15 years called
"Favorites.livecode" build circa 2000 or earlier and migrating forward over
time. Small toolbox, with launch menu, some buttons for testing "stuff" etc…
there's really nothing unusual about its properties, it's not lock or
cantDelete or anything like that. no odd open stack or preopenstack handlers
that would do weird things, but if it is in my plugins folder 8.1.3 "dies in
chaos" take it out, put in others (like your 4thworld ones andsome of Scotts)
it works just fine.
I sent the stack in with the bug report. It *is* quite possible that there is
some horrible legacy code in a button for a test done in 2002 or something… and
the handler contains lines that are "bad code" from 8.1.3… but I don't think
the IDE steaps through *all* the code of every plugin… so??
lead me to the question: we know here that some legacy documents that were, for
example created in Quark Express, then exported to InDesign then used as
templates over several years.. will gradually become corrupt in mysterious ways
are indiscernable to the user… presumably at some binary level that does not
actually cause the program to crash but enough to cause a lot of trouble
could the same be with old, old, old LC stacks?
We'll see it will be interesting to find out what HQ spots….

I'm unable to reproduce those last two; both work as expected here.
