I'll try to keep better track of exactly what is going on when it happens, and report back.

Almost positive the script editor is open since I'm looking up syntax to figure out the best way to write whatever handler/behavior I'm working on.

I don't think I've been debugging when it happens, but can't be positive. Will have to pay closer attention.

No closestack handlers.

As to customization, I have the tm palettes and DGH active (palettes open). I can list the contents of my Plugins menu if you think it's relevant.

in debug mode. If that's the case, stop debugging by clicking the blue
square at the top left of the editor window (or type Cmd-Y) before
trying to use the dictionary. I haven't had any trouble with the
dictionary, but I'm used to leaving debug mode before trying to do
anything else.

If you aren't debugging, also try Cmd-period to stop any running scripts.


I've seen some focus problems recently too, though usually the window's
titlebar just doesn't enable. There's a bug report about it, but until
it gets tracked down you may need to specifically click on the titlebar
of the window to put it in focus. Watch for the jellybean buttons to
enable, then you know you're in the right place. There's something wonky
going on with window focus in the last release or two. It only seems to
affect the IDE, standalones work normally.


I've been doing that a lot tonight without any trouble. If you can get a
recipe we can try to verify it. Do you have any closestack handlers that
might be interfering? Any customizations in your setup?
