Tried to reproduce these bugs using the latest Basic_Animation#J on my iMac, running Mac OS X 10.5.8. (i.e. Leopard, not Snow Leopard)
I agree about 1. Every time the timer fires, it deletes the char just typed in the .ijx window. On the other hand a new ijs window can be created by Cmd-N and seems to be unaffected, accepting typed text without trouble. Can't reproduce 2 however. The animation window seems quite well-behaved. I propose to upgrade to Snow Leopard in the next few days. I'll try the animation again then. BTW the code looks good now. The most "legible" code in the collection, considering it's mostly gui calls, which are opaque if not verbose in most languages I know.
