Yay! That’s it. Second monitor with top above the main monitor with LiveCode window top above the same thing.
This might be a bad fix for another bug, the one that blocks a stack from going higher than the tool bar.
I know how it is about having work to get done and repeating little workarounds rather than reporting a bug.
If you don’t report it, I’ll report it or add it to the other bug.

On a Mac, if you have two monitors (or more I suppose), and you open a script editor window, it initially opens on the same screen as your LiveCode IDE; on the "main screen” as determined by the OS. After that I typically move the script editor window to the second monitor. I find that if the top of the script editor window is higher than the tool bar on the main screen, I get this hot spot offset problem. Once I move the window downward on the second monitor it goes away. I ought to have reported it, but I’ve gotten to where I automatically just move the window down to avoid the problem.
