OK, so the script editor is not gone it's just behind another window.

The Window menu has a shortcut Control-`  for "send window to back"

On Windows 2K I can get to the script editor that way. Use the task bar 
or Alt-tab to return to Revolution then I hit Control-` once or twice 
until the script editor is in the foreground.

I don't think this is really a bug, you were just expecting the Rev 
windows to behave differently. There are probably other users who would 
expect their stack window, or the application browser, or the 
properties inspector to be in the foreground :-)
