[EOL] glx2 script editor

[Bob Sneidar]

Thanks for all the hard work you put into this product. I have benefited greatly from using this product, especially the clairvoyance feature, which would be a great addition to the LC script editor. LC devs would be well advised to look into some of the features in GLX2 and incorporate them.

There's really no incentive for the LiveCode team to fix the bug, as it so far only has an impact on the script editor, and only on linux. I do appreciate the time the team has put into trying to fix it so far, but the ROI isn't there to narrow this down.

If I can't use tools, especially code that I've written myself, then there's no point in maintaining them. The latest version is GLX2_Code19_beta7.zip. I had hoped this bug would be fixed so that I could release a real version 19, but that's something that has to be done at the engine level, not from a scripted level.
