Quick IDE question

[Martin Koob]

Hi Graham

Glad it worked.

Getting the decorations and dragability back is just a matter of getting the stack rect within the rect of the screen.

LiveCode IDE parts sometimes get a mind of their own and set out a wanderin’ — who knows why.  Setting their loc to the screenloc will put them right in the centre of the screen so you can deal with them there.

There are no decorations, so I can’t resize or minimise the window; and dragging the window by the title bar doesn’t work either. I’ve restarted both versions but no joy. Everything else seems to be working normally and the other LC windows have decorations.
