Clicking in any IDE window will cause this "block (?)" beep, and he must use ALT-Tab until the dialog finally comes to front. And then it takes several clicks until he can enter text into the input field (Ask dialog). Anyone seen this and/or is this a known problem on Windows (11) with LC 10?

Message-ID: <4d7fb922-c073-4d72-b15d-94616f1a9577@researchware.com> We have a confirmed report of a customer experience a repeatable hard crash of out application on macOS Sequoia (15.1.1) when trying to invoke a right-click context menu. We implement context menus by a Frontscript that looks at mouseDown, and, if it is a mouseDown with the right modifiers for a context menu, handler it or passes mouseDown. If it handles it, it modified a button called "popup" to contain the correct context menu items based on what was clicked on and the invokes: popup btn "popup" of stack "cm" Our app is built under LC 9.6.13. I searched the Livecode Quality Center (bugzilla) for any bugs related to Sequoia, but found nothing. It works on macOS Sonoma without any crash. We do not currently have a Sequoia system to test on. Has anyone experienced a crash with a popup menu on Sequoia? Any insights?

The new location is ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning Profiles. I discovered this after creating new iOS profiles. They were no longer installed at ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning Profiles/ and LiveCode could not find them. The solution is to delete the old 'Provisioning Profiles’ folder (make sure to first copy out any non-expired profiles) and then make it a symlink to the new location: s ~/Library/Developer/Xcode/UserData/Provisioning\ Profiles ~/Library/MobileDevice/Provisioning\ Profiles This worked for me.

Message-ID: Hello Folks, Not too long ago I had an exchange with Heather where she informed me that the browser widget works on Linux. I've made linux builds before and they all crash unless I remove the browser widget, which led me to think that browser widget does not work in linux. Does anyone have a distro configuration that runs a livecode standalone with a browser?
