Is this a bug?

Wed Oct 14 04:22:24 EDT 2020

Hello David,

Have you tried trashing your Prefs?

1. Quit LC
2. Delete files:

/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/RunRev/livecode.rev
/Users/<username>/Library/Preferences/RunRev/livecode7.rev

3. Open LC

I hope this fixes the problem :)

Kind regards,
Panos
