So having used it on two laptops, I conclude that LiveCode 901 Script
Editor is essentially broken on many Windows machines.
It's now unusable for real coding (with the built-in Script Editor) in
my experience. Not a very acceptable situation!
Bug report:

Ironically, if the Script Editor code in question is LCS (or perhaps
LCB) I would be able to optimize the code myself easily enough, but at
the current time/situation I can't do so free of charge. Argh....
This needs to be fixed soon. With 80%+ of desktop market share, it's not
like Windows doesn't exist. A cross-platform IDE that only works well on
one platform, and just looks nice on the other but can't really be used,
isn't the same anymore. Surely LC must be losing out on many potential
LiveCoders too! And unnecessarily; easy to remedy with just a little
attention, true cross-platform mindset, and better IDE hardware testing.
(LC 6 was great on Windows. LC 7 and 8 were fair. LC 9 has been getting
worse, and 901 has crossed the line into extremely problematic, at least
with the two laptops I've used, recent model Intel Core i3 and i5.)
