Just for curiosity, I just launched HC and checked it out. Script 
Editor is modeless. The search script handler has

if the script of this stack contains pattern then edit script of this stack
repeat with curBgnd = 1 to the number of backgrounds
...

All objects are checked the same way, so apparently the script 
suspends while script editor is opened and continues after it is 
closed.

I don't have MC here to check.
