Mouseup snatched away

No painting involved, or any other drawing type issues.

However, many releases ago I had to create a resumeStack handler to 
address a bug.  My frontscript was disappearing when the stack was 
suspended, or something similar.  So on resumeStack I would check the 
frontscript and if my script wasn't there, reinsert it.

   if myScript is not in frontScripts() then
     insert the script of cd fld 1 of cd 1 of stack someStack into front
   end if

Both.  I made sure to select the Browse tool specifically, but either 
way I get the same result.  I'm thinking that Jacqueline's answer 
explains it.  I haven't intentionally removed MC's frontscript, but 
if mine is being removed and I'm needing to replace it, then 
presumably so is MC's.

A very frustrating thing.  My newer project won't touch front and 
backscripts with a ten foot pole.  But the older project is sort of 
stuck with them.  Would take a LOT of doing to delete them.
