Here is the recipe.

Open a stack with plenty of buttons and scripts.

Now open any script in the editor.

Use the property inspector to get the properties of a given field

Select and copy the name of the field

Paste it into the script.  I think I used middle click, but think I have
also used control-v in the past.

It should freeze, flickering rapidly.  Then when you close the window of the
editor, the whole IDE crashes.
Awfully sorry to disappoint you: I opened an earlier recension of my Devawriter stack (buckets of buttons, buckets of scripts) and did as you suggested - everything worked
properly:

RunRev 4.0

Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2
I just did it, 30 seconds ago on this machine, and as expected, it happened.
I did it a couple times this afternoon on a different computer when I just
forgot that it was going to happen - I was working on redoing the
application so as to eliminate the need to use print card, and needed to
take the name of the fields into the script, so as to put the contents of
them into a variable and then put this variable into a text file.  Which,
after manually reformatting it in rtf, I will then be able to open in a word
processor and print in acceptable format.

What a totally insane thing to be forced to be doing in the first place, but
that is by the way.

I have also had on earlier versions extreme slowdowns of the editor, where
the cursor took a half second or so to move from one position in the line to
another.  Or typed characters showed up only after about a half second
delay.

This is  a complete farce.
Yes it is; however the reason for this particular farce may lie outwith
the RunRev folks' lab in Edinburgh.
  I'm an amateur, I don't charge, and I'd never
let stuff at this crap level of quality out the door.  Do they do any
testing at all?
Now that is almost up to my standard of aggression: it will only give you
heart palpitations; so stop.
Peter
