Script Editor freezes in Windows 10 (was Can't edit scripts in DataGrid group in Windows 10)

[Martin Koob]

Hi

Just to follow up.  It is not just happening in a DataGrid group script.  I just opened a main stack script.  It has almost 600 lines.

Something Odd going on.  I am just new to using LiveCode on Windows as I am now working on an application  for release on Mac and Windows.  However I have edited many of the scripts in this project before and have never seen this.  

Again if anyone has ideas as to what might be happening or how to trouble shoot that would really be appreciated.

Martin

So to edit the script in the DataGrid group I just select the Datagrid group I right click on the DataGrid and select the ‘Edit Script’ menu item.

I just tried this on Windows 10 with LiveCode 9.6 and when I try to open the same DataGrid following the same process the script editor opens but it does not load the script.  In fact LiveCode becomes unresponsive. The script editor dims as if disabled and the cursor when hovering over the script editor or any other LiveCode windows  is the hour glass cursor.
