I haven't seen this in Rev, but I have seen something similar in the 
MetaCard script editor. Almost every time I enter a new script or revise 
an existing script, I get a phantom error when closing the editor -- 
something about not finding the target. Simply hitting the Enter key a 
second time closes the editor and applies the script without complaint 
(in MC, you don't need to edit the script to reactivate the apply 
function.) I have seen this ever since the MC 2.5 engine came out and 
I'm so used to hitting Enter twice now that I can't even remember what 
the exact error message says. I haven't reported it yet, because I need 
to examine my own backscript to see if it is possibly interfering, 
something I haven't had time to do yet.
