[comp.sys.mac.hypercard] Hypercard Bug!

wrs@F.GP.CS.CMU.EDU (Walter Smith) (12/03/87)

No response on the "Find" bug, and here's another one:

From any stack but home, execute the following from the message box:

	edit script of stack home

Click OK.  Where the editing box was, the home card will appear.
Everywhere else, nothing changes.  You're really at the home card, as
you see when you click on things.  This demonstrates two bugs: editing
the script of another stack should NOT move you to that stack, and
even if it does, it should certainly update the screen correctly!

Actually, this works between any two stacks; the home stack need not be
involved.

  Another bug:  Run the sample stack PLOTS.  Go to the "numbers" field (not
*named* numbers, just where you put them).  Type several carriage returns
(enough to scroll the bottom number to the top of the field).  Scroll to the
bottom of the field.  Delete the extra carriage returns.  The scroll button
will move to the top of the field, and you will be unable to see all of the
numbers (or scroll).  This seems to be just a display problem, which goes
away if you generate a display update (cover the field with a window/da/menu).
