Turn Off Double-Entry?

[simplsol at aol.com]

Good point, Dave,
But I'm not sure why we are having this discussion at all.
Whether it takes one click or two clicks to close the script editor is 
the least of the problems with the editor and, worse yet, the debugger.
It opens to random window sizes. Sometimes it opens almost off the 
screen. Sometimes it opens but simply will not run. Often it will step 
though a couple lines of code then drop to the bottom of the handler. 
You can set debug checkpoints which do not trigger the debugger at all. 
You can set debug checkpoints that get removed when the debugger runs. 
The variable watcher misses variables (especially the clickLine). It is 
possible to use the spacebar to step through code (although there is no 
obvious way to know this) - except that it often will not work for the 
first step. Attempting to use the "Find" command in the debugger will 
scramble the script editor window and scripts being edited. Etc. Etc.
These issues have been present since the debugger was introduced. They 
are there in version after version of Rev. Many are listed in Bugzilla. 
Most are obvious to a causual user. But they don't get fixed!
I hope they listen to Scott, but history is not encouraging.

  The problem is for Newbies. If you are learning a new environment you 
really don't want to add to the learning curve by using 3rd party tools 
and writing a Script Editor is way too complex a job for a newbie. 
Besides all that, the reason you use an IDE is to take the sweat out of 
software development, if you can't trust the tools that come with it, 
well.............................. 
 
 All the Best 
 Dave
