Problem with Linux 2.6.1 script editor on RH EL

[biodan at comcast.net]

Jacqueline emailed me saying that this is a known issue (flaky delete
key, backspace key and mouse focus on moderately long scripts).
The recommended solution is to use another text editor & import
the script.  This only happens on the Linux version  - not the OS X
version. (i didn't buy a Windoze license so i can't say anything
about it).

BTW, this behavior occurs with a single stack open after a fresh
restart. Again, only on the Linux version , not OS X.

I have encountered this also, but found the problem, at least on my system, 
which is Ubuntu 5.10 with Gnome.

My problem was that I was opening and closing other stacks to try and learn how 
to do things, problem was, that not all of these stacks were getting dumped from 
the memory, even if I selected "Close and remove from memory" from the IDE menu.

I found out when I opened the Gnome System Monitor and saw a bunch of stacks 
still listed in the processes.

Only option was to close Rev and start it again.

Not sure this is what's happening to you, but if you're under the same scenario, 
then you know what's up.
