I had to hack around this in the glx2 environment - the problem seems to be that
something changed with respect to menubars. In glx2 I now grab the command- or
control-c,v,x keys and process them myself instead of letting the IDE take care
of things. The IDE's lockup period is very annoying - there seems to be a delay
between mouseDown and mouseUp events, so that a command-S will insert an "s"
into the text unless the key combo is held down long enough. Doesn't affect
Windows, but does on OSX and linux.

I've also found that compiling a script in the IDE's script editor changes the
focus away from the script editor window, so that following a compile with a
command-S doesn't save the stack, I have to click in the script field first.
