I get this a lot, and have done on earlier versions of Rev (I'm on  
2.6.1 also), but it normally goes away when I restart Rev. I came to  
the conclusion that I have to run a script of my own under the IDE  
before the problem appears, but I've never been able to find a  
repeatable formula so I haven't tried to Bugzilla it. Recently it  
seems to be less prevalent, tho I haven't deliberately changed  
anything in the environment.

Are you sure that the problem occurs before you run any script of  
your own - I mean if you just download the .rev file you're working  
on and try to use Cmd-C in editing a script without ever switching to  
the browse tool at all?

It would be nice to pin this down...
