Odd. I've never seen this happen. You could try turning off messages 
(click the Messages icon in the toolbar) and see if that helps.

You could also try, from the message box:

  set the clipboardData to the script of button <btnName>

See if you get anything in the clipboard. If so, you could set the 
script to empty via message box, then paste in the retrieved script and 
correct the errors.

Finally, if the stack has so few scripts, it might just be easier to 
open it in a text editor and copy out the pieces you need. Then set the 
scripts to empty from the message box, open them, paste in the retrieved 
text, and correct the scripts.

I'm thinking there may be a stray end-of-script character in there 
somewhere, or something else that makes the editor think there's nothing 
to display. I saw that happen once in HC, but never in Revolution.
