I’m working in osX with 214 release 1.
I add a bevel button to the form and right click on it and click “Add to BevelButton1”. I see a list of events, but they are all grayed out. I need an action event but can’t get one.
Can you screenshot this? I’m rather curious now
What you are seeing is not a list of "events’, but a list of attributes, most of which don’t pertain to the current state/status of the control. You SHOULD see a non-gray entry towards the middle [EVENT HANDLER] which will open another dialog with the available events that can be added to this control. This same function is available via the [+] button in the small toolbar at the top of the screen.
I had this a few times as well. A restart of Xojo fixed it for me.
Same here, saw this repeatedly. If I remember right, then sometimes I could resolve it by collapsing/expanding the controls in the content pane. And then sometimes only a Xojo restart brought things back to “courrant normale”.

Good news - this is/was a long standing bug which was marked as Fixed in Feedback a few days ago. It was one of Norman’s all-time favorite bugs 
Note that ‘Fixed’ means that it should appear in an upcoming release but there’s no public schedule.
There are some good IDE fixes coming with next release 
If you run into this, sometimes simply saving the project will clear it up.
Saving the project seems to fix the problem. Thanks.
I tried making a screenshot in Preview, but couldn’t trigger the screen shot while holding the mouse down to show the grayed out events menu. I can make it happen most of the time. Saving the project always seems to fix it.
