So I just fired up LC 7 DP 3 to test some stacks, and I got some major functionality issues, at least in the Windows 7 64 bit / Android Development department:

[*]Attempting to launch after installation throws an "environment failed to initialize" error. open as administrator will then open it after you close the error dialog.

[*]"open recent" sub-menu does not open selected stack (or any)

[*]Plug-in sub-menu does not open plugins

[*]Unable to select a Test Target for Android testing

[*]The cursor is (again) out of alignment in the script editor

None of these are an issue in 6.5.2, 6.6.2 (rc3), or 6.6.2 (rc4) which are the versions I have been mainly using as of late.

Win 7 LC 7.0 dp3

[*]Attempting to launch after installation throws an "environment failed to initialize" error. open as administrator will then open it after you close the error dialog.

Confirmed on install, but runs correctly after that

[*]"open recent" sub-menu does not open selected stack (or any)

Confirmed

[*]Plug-in sub-menu does not open plugins

Confirmed

[*]Unable to select a Test Target for Android testing

Unconfirmed, was able to select test target but receive an error on build "unable to build app for testing: i/o error" I swear I add a bug report on this but can't find it.
Edit; found it 12061, they say dp3 should work in community and I guess commercial will be dp4

[*]The cursor is (again) out of alignment in the script editor

I don't see this, do you use a font other than "default"?

Retested after restarting the android emulator, and I am now getting the i/o error as well.

I have never changed the font in the script editor, but I remember experiencing this issue a few months back, and it being fixed in an update, this is identical behavior to that bug.
I can't seem to find the post that originally covered this bug, but I will add as an edit when I do find it.

Regarding cursor/carat out out of alignment - is this the thread you were looking for? http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php? ... or#p101452

That's the one. Thanks Dave!

Ah ok - in that case you might be interested in this bug report http://quality.runrev.com/show_bug.cgi?id=11980

So I just tested some stacks with 7.0 dp4, and it seems all of these issues are resolved. (Found a new one, but will post in a new thread for dp4)

[*]The cursor is (again) out of alignment in the script editor

I can confirm this with LC 7.0.0 dp5 on Mac OS X 10.9.3
I am using a non-default font in the script editor.

I'm still getting the "environment failed to initialize" error on install with 7.0 DP6,it then works fine when opened again. Is anyone aware of a bug report for this?

Thanks,
Sefro
