unicode? troubles

I have been using this stack for years. I started working on it since runrev version 2.5 actually and I was
working on something similar even in hypercard. (how the years pass by)

Anyway, it’s a tool that helps me analyse stacks and code.
For one thing, it gives me a tree view of all messages and all the handlers they initiate, amongst others.
Extremely useful. Really, I can’t program without it.

I just tried to find out which version of livecode exactly, started messing things up.
I didn’t program for a while and lately I bought a “newer”, a 2011 model, iMac, running   …. el capitain
and my new indy license.

So to test I fired up my older iMac which has older versions of livecode and is running mountain lion

Guess what the stack even worked with version 7.1 of livecode and mountain lion. No problem.
There is a problem with version 8 of livecode since the file/location/format of the dictionairie has changed
which I need to get all reserved names and the names of all messages. But ok I am figuring that out. (it’s a sqlLight file now)

So apparently the culprit is el capitain and not livecode. 
I still need a solution because it’s messing up my tree view and brakes my tool.
If anybody knows a solution, please help me out. In the mean time, if I find a solution, I’ll sure post it.

Thanks,
    Claudi


I just don’t get what has changed.
