Here's an oddity that I haven't been able to narrow down yet, but it is causing me a lot of lost work. Looking for any insights or thoughts on why or what is happening.

OS X 10.6.7, LC 4.6.1

I have the LC Dictionary open almost constantly. Enough that it is easier to leave it open than to close and re-open every time.

Sometimes, not sure what the trigger is, when I go to the search field and start to delete my previous search term, it won't delete, and the entire IDE becomes unresponsive. In order to clear this issue I have to Force Quit LC, which obviously causes me to lose any work I've done since I last saved. I'm not yet in the habit of saving my work every time I go to use the Dictionary, but I have a feeling I'm going to get there.

The Dock contextual menu reports LC as 'Application Not Responding' although it is not reported that way in the Force Quit window (listing the running applications).

On one occasion when I started to delete my search term, the focus jumped to the object inspector, and I ended up deleting the name of the card (the object that had the focus last, maybe?).

I *think* the focus is jumping to someplace I can't see, and I'm deleting, or attempting to delete, something that either shouldn't be deleted, or can't be deleted, and it is putting the IDE into an unstable state.

Possibly related, I've noticed that if I 'close and remove from memory' a stack using the contextual menu in the Application Browser I get similar behavior.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
