AW: WEIRD: code changes the code instead of a field

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Hi Jacque,
I have filed this bug with an easy one liner recipe, but now have seen, that
it is known since 2013 in the QC.

Betreff: Re: WEIRD: code changes the code instead of a field

There's a problem with the script editor losing track of the defaultstack
during debugging. I see it when it tells me that it can't find a control on
the card I'm looking at. It's applying all references to itself.

I haven't been able to get a consistent recipe to report the problem but
since you have one, it would be great if you could submit a report.
