Pointer tool in standalones

[Frank D. Engel, Jr.]

I must be tired.

So mouseUp is sent when the pointer tool is active, but is intercepted 
by the IDE, so that the stack never gets it unless it is a standalone?

Strange, but apparently true.  I am working only with the pointer tool 
here, and somewhere down the line I ended up with a mouseUp handler in 
my card script that said "select empty".  Obviously this would cause 
that problem!

I missed it because I did not expect the different behavior from the 
standalone, since that handler never gets executed when running under 
the IDE.

Whatever, it works now...


Thank you!
