Can anyone confirm this possible bug ?

That's it Mike !  Thank you !!

I had Script Debug Mode off - unintentionally, and had forgotten there 
was such a thing.
Whn I turned it back on, then the error appeared as expected in the 
bottom pane of the editor window.

No idea what has happened to my error window that should appear when 
debug mode is off; I can't find any windows that appear to be 
off-screen. (But maybe it's gone again by the time I open the msg box 
and look ??)
What is the name of that window ?
Any settings for it I could check ?

Thanks again
-- Alex.
