Complete Crash or Engine Hang: which is better?

[Andrew at MidWest Coast Media]

I have an app that put’s a lot of text into a variable (an entire web page worth of HTML) that if I copy from the breakpoint inspector in the Script Editor and paste into Dreamweaver (for a quick preview) the text appears as what appears to be Chinese. My workaround is to paste that into a Text Only document in TextEdit, then copy THAT text from TextEdit and paste into Dreamweaver.

Does the Edit > Paste Unformatted still render as the previous RTF?

Also, bizarrely, if I remove the pasted text and just type in it directly I still have the same deficit. In other words, the field is knackered. I have to delete it and create a new one if I want to do any edits to the format. Also, this happens if I grab a label and just paste text from TextEdit into the contents window. Same effect.
