That was the solution. Everything now works correctly. When I start to do some new work on an old project I always upgrade it to the latest sdk before starting.
I never realized before that there can be hidden changes that affect things without showing errors or warnings in the Problems panel. Even the little orange warning markers are actually a red or perhaps I should say orange herring, because they are still there in the updated custom skin even though it now works correctly. So how do you find these things that are changed? Or is it just simply bad practice to update old projects to the most recent sdk?
