Cannot use Message Box

[dunbarx at aol.com]

This happened to me a few months ago, though it went away. It resolves itself if, when you first open the msg box, you click in the lower field and hit return. From then on all is well. A thread I started at that time was inconclusive, some not knowing what I was talking about, some having seen the behavior now and then.


I saw this in v.4.0 through 4.5. Never in 3.x. I thought it was something in the 4x build. That it "went away" is odd, but gratifying.

This might not help, but the multi line message box uses the enter key and not 
the return key.

Try turning on "Livecode UI elements in Lists" and then search through those 
stacks.
