Script editor instability

Mark.


But have you seen the actual behavior I explained? That dragging in the titleBar to try to move the window instead changes the width of that window?


I will keep in mind what you said. I have tried this, I think, or at least must have in the scramble to try to restore order. I certainly went back to the finder. Sometimes I can, sometimes I have to force quit. It is one of the few times I get an "unexpected quit" message with its concomitant messages and offers to relaunch and send error reports

Hi Craig,

I use LC 5.0.2 and earlier and have problem with the script editor whenever an 
error occurs in e.g. a resizeStack handler. When this happens, I usually 
activate a different application and click in the red close button while 
LiveCode is in the background. This closes the script window and allows me to 
continue working. This seems very similar to your observations. I am sure that 
the cause is a scripting error somewhere in the script editor.
