Look in the preferences, in the Script Editor pane, to make sure that
the palettes are not hidden when the script editor is open. The default
setting is to hide them. When you click on the stack, they come back.

Jacque,

you had mentioned this possibility to solve this annoyance by setting the behavior in preferences also when responding to my contribution to thread "Rev IDE vs MetaCard IDE" of Dec 15 - including the advice to change preferences for multiple script windows if needed.

Question is, should the default behavior in both cases not be the other way round?

What is really gained by hiding the tools palette when the script editor comes up - and it seems to me to be not only a matter of preferences, but a real bug, that the tools palette does not reappear when closing the editor via the close icon?

Both presently existing defaults are cases where the workflow is needlessly interrupted, and could be taken as examples for needlessly increasing the complexity of the Rev IDE.


Best regards,

Wilhelm Sanke
