Crash-a-lot just became critical

[Colin Holgate]

Just did a test with 7.0.1, and things seem to work as I’d expect. If I put this into a button, card, and stack:

on mouseenter
  answer “button” — or “card" or “stack”
end mouseenter

the answer shows up that I would expect. If I do this:

on mouseenter
  answer “button” — or “card or “stack”
  pass mouseenter
end mounter

and move over the button, the answers come in the order of “button”, “card”, “stack”. Isn’t that how it should be?

If this is so, what happens to the target function? Does it still return the control the mouse is entering? I'm still using OSX 10.7.4 (Lion) with LC 5.5.1, so if the target doesn't identify the control I'd have to rewrite hundreds of scripts to upgrade to a newer version.
