Custom property retrieval incorrect

[Mark Waddingham]

Intriguing - my guess is that something in the message path in your IDEs has a getProp cVersion handler.

Now it could be something built into the IDE - although I’m not sure what - or it could be a plug-in or extension.

An easy way to find out is to temporarily rename the ‘My LiveCode’ folder and restart the IDE to see if it still happens…

Warmest Regards,

Mark

I saved the stack, quit LC, relaunched and opened the stack and it then reported 1.0.4. I don't know where these numbers are coming from.
