THis is a bug? I always thought commas in any file name was a no-no, like
ampersands, etc. The OSs allows this?

> RR has just verified an issue, introduced in version 3.5, where commas in

> attempting to open a script editor in a stack that has commas in its file
> path will result in the spinning pizza of death and requires a force-quit
> (and therefore potential data loss.) On Windows, the script editor may open
> but will ignore any breakpoints set by either the dot method or by inserting

> They are working on a fix, but if you are experiencing unexplained hangs,
> crashes, or an inability to use the script editor normally, check for and
> remove any commas in your stack paths.
