the iconic of stack

I just noticed something that shocked me a little bit. I haven't done this, thought about it or looked at it so long that I didn't notice this wasn't working.

The iconic property doesn't work at all in both Livecode and my standalones. When I set the iconic of a stack to true, the entire stack is just moved to the lower right to the point where a thin strip is just peeking out over the task bar. And whatever buttons are visible in that strip dont work while the stack is down there - not drag or anything else.

Not only that, and again, I never thought this would change, when a standalone made with Livecode is running in Windows XP and 7, there is no icon in the task bar! With this in mind, it makes sens that "iconic" doesn't work, becayse there is no inon in the task bar!

Back in Rev 2.8 the iconic property always work flawlessly, both in Rev and with standalones. And the stacks always had buttons in the task bar as did my standalones.

What am I missing in Livecode and my subsequent standalones? Why nothing in the task bar and no iconic? The timing of this discovery could not ne worse, so I desperately need help!

Cheers,

Lars
