Delete this card command not working in LIvecode 5.5.3

[Bob Sneidar]

It probably works with a group because a group can persist even if there are not cards that the group is attached to. Therefore the object containing the handler that is deleting the card is not itself getting deleted because it belongs to a group that still exists after the card is deleted. The issue is not the card getting deleted, it is the object whose script contains the handler that has the delete card command.

Peculiarly, if a put a button on a card with the script "delete this card" it won't work, but will work if I make the button a group. "Delete this card" also works from the message box.  It doesn't work when called upon from a stack script, including my efforts at timing.  I just found a way around this though by using "delete NEXT card" instead of "delete THIS card" in the stack script. Maybe the change in behavior has to do the newer Mac operating system (10.7.5 and 10.9.5)?
