This has happened to me intermittantly ever since 1987, with HC.
I never quite know how it resolves, though it usually does. I can swear that sometimes code works, and sometimes not, even though I have made no changes. And your point about a script runnding just fine through the debugger, but not in normal operation, is familiar. It seems like stepping through a script cleans it out in some way. Sometimes. That said, retyping code that looks right sometimes helps, though your debugger thing likely will not respond to that. It is a mystery.

In the debugger window it works fine. I put a breakpoint in the script, run it, and when the script pauses, I click "Continue" and, when the script exits, the custom-property has been set to the text data. But when I remove the breakpoint and run the script normally (i.e., not in the debugger window), the card's custom-property is empty. I've been trying for hours now to trace this, including putting "wait" and "send", but am stumped.
