are all of the 7 releaces/rc this buggy???

[Dr. Hawkins]

I've once again ventured into a newer version of livecode, and once again
am being hit by arbitrary changes/missing parts.

I re-enabled the code to allow pixelscaling (which took doing, as I'm on a
mac/Yosemite, and the key command to uncomment doesn't work), only to be
greeted with the message,

stack "mcp": execution error at line 10046 (pixelScale: the pixelScale
property cannot be set on this platform), char 26


Really?

Hmm, cmd-m to get the message box back doesn't work properly, either.

Coming from 5.5, the IDE's performance can best be described as a slug.
Constant visually noticeable waits while it redraws the red dots?  I
understand the desire to have more of the system in livecode itself, but
performance has to count for *something!*

And I'm constantly ending up with open tabs in the editor for interface
elements, such as (at the moment) Button "File" and Field "Entry" (and I
don't even know what the latter even means!)

And now the editor itself seems to have crashed.

No, wait.  It's just that livecode is ignoring input.  It doesn't show as
unresponive in the force-quit window, and the finder can still bring a
window to the front when clicked upon, but it's dead.

This is dp- grade, not rc-, let alone an actual release.
