Thanks for filing that.

What's going on is that the editor preference for 'Strict Compilation"
doesn't do what you think it does. It only allows checking for errors
in the IDE's script editor (which is why it's in the script editor prefs).

What you really want to do is
set explicitVars true
before setting the script. Then you'll see the proper error result.
Add this to the top of your mouseUp handler and see the difference.

Why are there two settings?

The IDE's system scripts are riddled with bugs. If explicitVars were
enabled then errors would be seen and the team would have to fix them.
This would take time away from adding bloat^H^Hnew features.
