I think so too. I've seen updated card layouts appear, but the debug 
script that was displayed didn't include additions that managed the 
layout changes.

I think I asked here some time ago about how to purge the stored 
scripts. I saw some oddly-named stacks in the App Browser that seemed 
relevant so I deleted those, and the next time I tried a test the whole 
IDE went down. So that wasn't it. :)
