"I think the IDE should ask if you want to apply before running the
script again, or always apply when leaving the window focus"
I agree totally.
"I like to leave the script I am debugging/improving open with the
script running so I can quickly try different things with nary a mouse
click. You learn about "apply" very quickly in that case. "
I gave up on this when the IDE started to spontaneously just disappear
when I tried to click the Files menu. I HAVE to save to disk, because I
don't trust the IDE as far as I can throw it.
Sigh.

You said "lots of cracks in the IDE". I'd have to agree.
I've given up on saving scripts, and now only delete/kill the script
editors. That way I'm SURE to see the error messages. Far too
often I have "saved" a script and the save did not take, with no
error window visible. Too bad window visibility is handled
correctly during a script editor kill, but not when saving a
script. It can't be that hard to do the latter correctly if the
former is correct.
Jon,
Sounds like you were saving the script, before Applying it. I got
caught a few times on that also. I am in the habit of hitting the
enter key after editing a script to apply it now. Otherwise, the
script says what you edited, but it executes what was last applied
before your last edits. I don't like this way of doing it, I think
the IDE should ask if you want to apply before running the script
again, or always apply when leaving the window focus, and having a
proper unlimited undo for at least the text editing of a script --
that can't be that hard to do.
I like to leave the script I am debugging/improving open with the
script running so I can quickly try different things with nary a
mouse click. You learn about "apply" very quickly in that case.
Dennis
