Bug or new feature? - It's A Big Bug!

[Dennis Brown]

Of course my scripts are failing also.  I write a lot of "if it is  
empty then exit mouseUp"

I traced through this and found that the it variable appeared to be  
empty after I hit Cancel.  However, the if empty would fail.  When I  
manually select the contents of the it variable in the variable  
watcher and delete, the test succeeds.  So the it variable is being  
set to something that looks empty, but isn't.

This is critical! I would expect RunRev to have a fix for this in the  
next 24 hours!  This might point to why I have been experiencing not  
so nice behavior in the IDE.  Back to 2.5 untill the 2.6.1 version.
