I'll monitor for that, but I don't believe it's the case. The funny thing
is, frequently it will happen in the script window - AND it will be some
specific LINES in the window. For instance, I'll be editing in a line,
WITHOUT the insertion cursor, use the down arrow or other means to change
lines, the I-beam appears and edits happen as normal - return to the first
line, it disappears again. The net result is that partial line selections
can be very difficult with the mouse, and inserting the edit point where you
want it is practically impossible - you basically have to add or delete a
character, just to find out where you are.
