Script editor instability

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Craig,

I use LC 5.0.2 and earlier and have problem with the script editor whenever an error occurs in e.g. a resizeStack handler. When this happens, I usually activate a different application and click in the red close button while LiveCode is in the background. This closes the script window and allows me to continue working. This seems very similar to your observations. I am sure that the cause is a scripting error somewhere in the script editor.
