I have never seen this, ever.

To save/apply a script, either click the button at the bottom of the 
editor, or hit the Enter key on the keyboard while your cursor is 
somewhere in the script itself. To close the script editor window, hit 
the Enter key a second time. You should get any relevant error messages 
after the first "apply" (Enter key) is done.

If you mean you are clicking the close box on the editor window itself, 
you can do that, and you should get any compile error messages that way 
too. It is more standard to use either the Apply button or the Enter key 
though (and quicker.)

Note that there are two kinds of errors in scripts. There are compile 
errors, which the IDE will warn you about when you try to apply a 
script, and there are also runtime errors, which will not be evident 
until the script actually executes. Runtime errors can't be caught 
during the compile process and you won't see warnings about those until 
they actually happen.
