I can double-click and select handler/function names, I can select  
areas of the script, walk the cursor up and down the script from top  
to bottom and it still doesn't mark it as dirty. I can select a  
handler from the Menubar and it doesn't mark it as dirty, but if I  
use the left hand panel to select a handler/function, it marks it as  
dirty. Go figure!!!!!

I reckon there is a whole lot of small bugs interacting.

All the Best
