Button anomaly?

[Graham Samuel]

OK, got it. Thanks for both replies. Yes it was on a Mac, but the app is cross-platform, so I'll look again when I test the PC version.

It is an anomaly tho, IMO. Not significant and not that hard to work around, but still an anomaly.

You have to reconstitute exactly for the engine to make it a virgin push button again. I upset this now and then, and find it easier to just make a new button, copying scripts if need be.
