Oh, dont worry, I waited since yesterday to see if it was a timeout 
problem...
And, yes, there's not such thing as a timeout in RR ;)

So I had to kill the process - twice... and lost some changes again... 
This is
why software evolution is so slow on RR that we have to call it a 
revolution! 

ROTFL - im kidding of course... RR is nice when it doesn't act up...
But it's a pain to have to save after EVERY script change... Which I 
highly
recommend to everyone to prevent fired-up user complains...

Dont, RR is way faster than any other IDE... But it is young, 
under-resourced
and as hard as the RR team works, the great users that we are keep burying
them with bugs, wishes, whims and windows idiosynchracies. I presume RR
is entering (already!) the NASA state where they have more safety 
engineers
than production ;)

BUG 89353
NEVER close the Script error window without clearing the error first!
On windows at least... If you and you can, try to open it again to clear
the error via the appmanager or calling it from the Msg box...

And im off...
