Is this considered to be a bug?

This error happens to me all the time under certain circumstances.
If I have a script window open, then I go to a group and edit group,
then open a script of a button inside that group, it gives the error
about the original script window if I try to make any edits in the
second window. It will give the error and close the first script
window before editing the new script. It was quite annoying when I
was trying to copy bits of script between windows. I finally learned
to open both windows, the exit the edit group mode before making any
edits. It also works Ok to have the mode set for direct selection of
controls inside the groups --that is how I do things now.

Tim,
I've tried various other ways to try and force that error msg to
appear. Just couldn't get it to happen.
Your explanation for your case is probably right.
Re top posting, I don't know. I've seen this discussion on other
lists, and after everybody has had their say - they all go back to
whatever they were doing in the first place.
Personally, I prefer top posting.

Hi Pat,
Thanks for your kind attempt to help.
No, those are not the circumstances. That's why it seemed
inexplicable. The circumstances you describe would make sense to me.
I might have found the source of the problem, though.
There was a handler in this bg left over from Hypercard:
On closefield
put me into me
pass closeField
end closefield
This might seem insane, but it worked great in HC. The purpose? I
often paste text from other sources into fields in this bg. I want
the pasted text to lose its original attributes and take on those
assigned to text in the field I am pasting into.
I have a hunch Rev choked on this one. Maybe because the script
editor is another stack. I suppose the script editor is in the
hierarchy when I'm editing a script. Or something...
I commented out this handler, and a couple of other suspicious
ones, but this is the prime candidate. No problems since then. I'm
keeping my fingers crossed.
Any thoughts?
Best regards,
Tim
BTW -- Is it okay to top post on this list? Or does anyone care? I
just want to follow the rules.
Tim,
The only time I have seen this msg is if the stack has been closed
and removed from memory, but the script editor for the object is
still open and I have tried to make changes.
Is that when the msg occurs for you, or does it happen under
different circumstances?

Subject: the object you are editing... Huh?
At unpredictable times, when trying to edit a script -- the
script of a card field at the moment -- I get an error message I
can't understand. I'm doing all the logical obvious things that a
moderately competent novice would do, before and after
encountering this error message. They aren't working.
The message:
"The object you are editing appears to have been removed or
deleted. Do you want to copy the text you are editing to the
clipboard before closing this script?" The two response buttons
in the error dialog box are "copy and close" and "close"
--What am I doing wrong?
--What is the significance of this error message? It must occur
for a good reason, but I can't figure it out.
Thanks to all those who have generously offered assistance in the
past week or two.
Cheers,
Tim
