Hi Quentin,
I see the same results, when I try your code. However, if I first store
the random value and add 1 to an item in the string in the next line in
the script, it works correctly. Apparently, the random function and the
add command are incompatible.
on mouseUp
put "0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0" into myVar
repeat 100
put random(16) into myRandom
add 1 to item myRandom of myVar
put myVar & cr after myTempList
end repeat
put sum(myVar) & cr & myTempList
end mouseUp
Kind regards,
Mark Schonewille

Code which exhibits the bug:
on mouseUp
put "0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0" into Fred
repeat 100 times
add 1 to any item of Fred
put Fred into line (1 + the number of lines in fld "testbed") of fld
"testbed"
end repeat
put sum (Fred) into line (1 + the number of lines in fld "testbed") of fld
"testbed"
end mouseUp
This handler *should* end up generating a 16-item string of integers which sum
to exactly 100. What it *actually does* end up generating, is a 16-item string
of integers whose sum may or may not fall somewhere within the range 80-120.
Not sure what the hell is going on here, but I am not at all happy about it.
Perhaps other people might like to try this code on their systems, and see if
it works as intended for them?
