Using Director 11.5 and Windows 7, with MouseWheel Xtra (wheelmouse.zip), I have the folowing message in the message window when I scroll the mouse while the debugger is stopped:
lcr_stk_PopFrame: unbalanced stk lcr_stk_PopFrame: unbalanced stk prev=1560 top=1568
Then, usually, it is no longer possible to continue stepping the code or inspect variables, open lists, etc. Sometimes Director crashes.
If I don't scroll when stopped in the debugger, there is no problem. But it is really hard not to scroll when debugging...
Lingo Code:
on startmovie
put "sartWheelMouse"
startWheelMouse()
end
on stopMovie
put "closeWheelMouse"
closeWheelMouse()
end
on WheelMouseEvent (nVal)
-- This is a workaround. Putting the param or an integer allows further operation.
-- Without it, putting a string or even assigning a string to a var will
-- produce problem if user scrolls while stopped in debugger
--put nVal
-- this one doesn't harm
aa = 45
-- problem if the workaround is not present
aa = "SAGFD"
-- problem if the workaround is not present
aa = string(34)
-- problem if the workaround is not present
put "wheelMouseEvnt enter"
end
on mouseDown me
put "mousedown"
-- Put a breakpoint here. THen step by step and open the list in the variable inspector
-- Without the workaround in WheelMouseEvent, if you scroll while the debugger is stopped,
-- the debugger doesent work anymore, the list cannot be inspected and sometimes, Director crashes.
a = 32
b = "a234"
lst = ["asdfk asldjasdflkj", "asdfk asldjasdflkj", "asdfk asldjasdflkj"]
a = 32
b = "a234"
end
I don't have a real solution, but a workaround.
As explained in the comments, just add a put with an integer in the WheelMouseEvent handler and the problem is gone.
put nVal
If someone find another solution, more discrete than filling the message window, I am interested.
