Script Editor Unusable on Windows

[Curry Kenworthy]

So having used it on two laptops, I conclude that LiveCode 901 Script 
Editor is essentially broken on many Windows machines.

It's now unusable for real coding (with the built-in Script Editor) in 
my experience. Not a very acceptable situation!

Bug report:

Ironically, if the Script Editor code in question is LCS (or perhaps 
LCB) I would be able to optimize the code myself easily enough, but at 
the current time/situation I can't do so free of charge. Argh....

This needs to be fixed soon. With 80%+ of desktop market share, it's not 
like Windows doesn't exist. A cross-platform IDE that only works well on 
one platform, and just looks nice on the other but can't really be used, 
isn't the same anymore. Surely LC must be losing out on many potential 
LiveCoders too! And unnecessarily; easy to remedy with just a little 
attention, true cross-platform mindset, and better IDE hardware  testing.

(LC 6 was great on Windows. LC 7 and 8 were fair. LC 9 has been getting 
worse, and 901 has crossed the line into extremely problematic, at least 
with the two laptops I've used, recent model Intel Core i3 and i5.)

Best wishes,
