Release 8.0 dictionary

[panagiotis merakos]

Hi Richmond,

>>>>>I created a blank stack with a bog-normal button and tried to see the
scriptEditor via the
menuBar, and got a jolly wheel that goes round and round and round, you are
feeling
sleepy, you think you are a purple banana . . .
Same again via the contextual menu . . .<<<<<<<<

Please try twice. It needs two attempts to open the script editor in DP12.
Reported under bug 16641:

Best,
Panos
