What do you mean by delete/kill the script editors? I've never seen
that term before, nor have I had problems saving scripts, except when
I've done some name changes to stacks, which would really be my
fault. I just type <enter><enter> and the script commits and the
window closes. Then I do a save of the stack..
Also you have not mentioned the platform that you are having window
problems with. Mac OSX in general has a fairly rude window
management/priority scheme, IMHO, compared to OS9.

You said "lots of cracks in the IDE". I'd have to agree.
I've given up on saving scripts, and now only delete/kill the script
editors. That way I'm SURE to see the error messages. Far too
often I have "saved" a script and the save did not take, with no
error window visible. Too bad window visibility is handled
correctly during a script editor kill, but not when saving a script.
It can't be that hard to do the latter correctly if the former is
correct.
Window visibility is a problem in general with the IDE: do an
<alt><tab> away from Rev and an <alt><tab> to go back, and a
different window appears within Rev, not the one you were working
on. Do a save and focus flies away to a context other than the one
you were working on. Lots of windows pop up so that they cannot be
controlled (kill or minimize buttons hidden behind other windows)
and many windows cannot be hidden at all, and can only be killed,
forcing the user to reactivate them from scratch.
I like the (theoretical?) cross-platform aspect of Rev, and some
things are fairly easy to do in it, but the conceptual base is
verbose and the implementation is buggy. Sigh.
