We know it impacts a popular library (Animation Engine), however, seeing as any code base that needs to be robust on all versions of LiveCode will need to ensure it doesn’t rely on empty trailing items with no delimiter after them I assume that will be need to be resolved regardless because all the 8.0.x series are impacted and a number of 7.x (we need to determine which ones).
