I agree with Mark, this sounds exactly like what happens if you ignore 
the error dialog. The error dialog is modal and won't allow any other 
actions to take place until you deal with it. You have to hit one of the 
three buttons before you can go on.

If you hit the Script button, it will take you to the line in the script 
that is causing the error. If you hit the Debug button, it will not only 
take you to the line, but allow you to debug and see the current values 
in the Variable Watcher. If you hit Ignore, it doesn't do anything 
except allow you to go back into active working mode.

Unfortunately, it is possible to click on a script window and bring it 
to the front (sometimes covering the dialog). But after that, you're 
blocked and it looks like a freeze. Move the script window out of the 
way if that happens and click on one of the error dialog buttons to 
continue.
