I'll give you 2 cents for that, Éric. I also don't think that RunRev

I've seen this in the past, too.
In many of my handlers, I have to set the itemDelimiter explicitly to tab,

Nope, only iPhone checked.
I went back to 6.6.5 and it compiled fine, so the error only happens in LC6.7

Odd, hopefully its just a one off and will work itself out somehow, its only
happening in one app, everything else compiles fine.

By saying this: put gizmo into theFld
You're telling LiveCode to put gizmo into the theFld variable, not into the
