REGRESSION in LC 9.6.9rc2

[Paul Dupuis]

Matthias,

Thank you for macOS testing. I primarily develop on Windows and had not 
yet tested on our Mojave macOS Powerbook.

It does indeed work on macOS. I just added to the bug report an improved 
test stack that presents a Dialog with a:
Pulldown menu - works under 968 (Mac+Win), and 969rc2 on Mac, not under 
969rc2 on Windows 10
Option menu - works under 968 (Mac+Win), and 969rc2 on Mac, HARD CRASH 
under 969rc2 on Windows 10
Combo Box menu - works under 968 (Mac+Win), and 969rc2 on Mac, not under 
969rc2 on Windows 10
Popup menu - works under 968 (Mac+Win), and 969rc2 on Mac, not under 
969rc2 on Windows 10

NOTE:
My LC 969rc2 on macOS (Mojave) is the straight download.
My LC 969rc2 on Windows 10 has had 3 REGRESSION FIXES applied to the IDE 
code to fix:

https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24044
https://quality.livecode.com/show_bug.cgi?id=24046

I can't see how any of these IDE code fixes for these regressions could 
impact menus in modal dialogs. I will try to test on Windows with 
unmodified LC 969rc2

If the 1 to  line code fixes to the IDE code regressions above in 969rc2 
are causing menus in modal dialogs not to work (and worse with the 
Option menu a HARD CRASH) then I think this still constitutes a real and 
serious bug.

I need menus in modal dialogs to work AND fixes to all 3 bugs above.
