Has it always been this way?
* Drop a valid notecard (i.e. one that contains some text) into a prim
* Drop a script in that says something on a CHANGED_INVENTORY event
* Edit the prim, double click the notecard to open it
* Click somewhere in the notecard. The script will get a CHANGED_INVENTORY event
* Further clicks don't do anything
* Clicking outside the notecard and then back in the notecard produces another event
I noticed this today, I don't know if it's always done this.

This could be useful for some purposes though.

I'll bug report it, I just wanted to be sure it didn't always work this way, or if there's a reason for it.

the change event should only trigger (in my way of thinking) if the text in the notecard is dirtied. I noticed this same thing last night, and it's mildly annoying, and no it wasn't like this prior to wednesday's update.

From: Geuis Dassin This could be useful for some purposes though. It would only be useful if you could get a what changed notification? Just clicking on it will not tell you what has changed so you cannot action based on the selection. |

Previously it only changed when you saved the notecard if I recall correctly. Which means that this is potentially quite a severe problem, since scripts which use the changed() event to determine when someone has edited a parameter notecard, then re-read it on that event, will now not work unless you open the notecard, change it, save it, then open it again. They'll trigger when it is initially opened only.
I'll test it out when I'm next able.

No, you get a second changed notification when you save it.
I'm guessing some of the focus changes broke it. I see the changed notification if I shift focus away from the notecard and back to the notecard.

The event should only be triggered on save. Events at any other time are a waste of the sim's time, since any changed information can't be read by the script until it's saved.
Please file a bug report (ingame, under help).
