Re: [Pythoncard-users] Resource Editor - Choice Component - Update String Selection doesn't work

[<gre...@co...>]

Sorry, I forgot to describe the bug.  This is a specific problem only 
with the resource editor.

Basically what happens is I open resource editor, select 'Choice' (or 
'Combobox'), then I go to the properties window, select items, type in 
[1,2,3] (or ['1','2','3'] either causes it), click update, then I go to 
stringselection, press the drop down button and see 1,2,3.  I choose 1, 
and nothing seems to happen, then I hit update, and still nothing 
happens.  Finally I hit save and code is generated without a 
stringselection specified.

Does that explain it better?
