Since this involves a third-party add-on for LiveCode, Peter Haworth's 
lcStackBrowser, I could report this bug privately to the author.  But I 
feel this is important for the community as a whole to be aware of so 
I'm taking the liberty of submitting this bug report here on this public 
list:

Bug description:  The name "lcStackBrowser" is too modest.

Recipe: Install it, explore it, poke around.

Expected result:  It would provide a means of browsing objects in LC.

Observed result: it goes WAY beyond that.  Sure, it also provide some 
very nice conveniences for browsing objects, but the true scope of the 
tool is so much deeper and feature-complete that it's almost like having 
an alternate IDE, one that delivers vast functionality and asks far less 
of your screen real estate in return.

Clarence ran a demo of it at our local LC user group meeting last week, 
and lcStackBrowser is pretty awesome. There's a lot in it, all lovingly 
crafted in such detail as to be an uncommonly admirable plugin.

Fine bit of work there, Peter.  Just that the name is misleading. :) 
It's far more than advertised.

Definitely worth checking out:
