It's actually easier to reproduce than this.
1) Create a new module (make sure it is global)
2) Drag the multistate button to the new module
3) Create a new window (#WINDOW test)
4) Notice the "Testbutton" displayed in the new "test" window doesn't have any drop-down menu.
So yes, reproduced and added to bug list. |

OK, I think I have fixed this so that each button in each window gets it's own menu.
However, keep in mind that a *shared* Multistate button is still only a SINGLE OBJECT with a single state. So if you have a shared multistate button and you select state #2, the button in all windows will show state #2. Only the CAPTION of a shared button is set up to reflect the variables within the MUD window containing the button. Things like the state Variable field doesn't currently handle being shared in multiple windows.
So in general, a shared Multistate button probably isn't going to work the way you might expect. It's still just a single button. I might be able to improve this in the future, but not for this round of beta testing, sorry. |

Actually, that will probably work.
