[comp.sys.mac.programmer] ApplicationMenu/ScrollLimit conflict

gs@eddie.MIT.EDU (Gordon Strong) (07/06/89)

When running ApplicationMenu 3.4 and ScrollLimit 1.0 (both from the
sumex archives) on a Mac II (System 6.0.2, Finder 6.1, MF 6.0.1),
ApplicationMenu doesn't respond (clicking in the corners of the menubar
doesn't drop down the ApplicationMenu).  I removed all other INITs when
testing for the conflict.  The problem was independent of the order
in which the INITs were loaded.  Are both these applications patching
the same traps?  ScrollLimit says that it patches _WaitMouseUp.

I would like to use both applications.  Larry/Ken, is this something
that can be resolved?

  Already done. There's a newer version of ApplicationMenu that coexists
with Scroll Limit 1.0. Also, Scroll Limit 1.1 is currently being tested,
and should be ready for release on Monday. It now works correctly with
any application that calls _TrackControl (including MacApp programs),
and it no longer patches _WaitMouseUp.

The incompatibility with ApplicationMenu 3.4 and ScrollLimit will be fixed 
in ApplicationMenu 3.5.  Once I get a free moment, I will be sending that 
into Info-Mac and the comp.binaries.mac moderator.
