No result (part 2)

Oops. Sent part one prematurely by mistake. I'll start again.

I have an intermittent problem with numerical results not being displayed
in Script Editor's results window. Briefly, when the last result returned
by a script run in Script Editor is a number (integer or real), this
result only displays once, on the first run of the script. So, if I run
this script:

5 + 4

--> 9

...but if I run it a second time the result window is blank. If the
script is changed so that a non-numerical result is returned, the result
window displays correctly again:

5 + 4 & ()

--> (9)

(Does the list display braces? I wasn't sure - but that's what the
brackets will compile to.)

If, instead, I change the script so that a different number is returned:

5 + 5

... the result window still won't display a the result.

Here's what it all boils down to: when the result window has displayed a
number, it won't display another number until after it has displayed
something else (eg, a list or string).

As I stated, this problem is intermittent. When I was running tests prior
to sending this message, Script Editor crashed (log available on request)
and when I relaunched it the problem had gone away. (don't you hate
that). I rebooted & started over, and Script Editor started showing this
behaviour again after about 5 minutes of testing. So I didn't imagine it.
It's doing it right now.

I'm seeing it at the moment in OS X 10.1.3 with AS 1.8.2b1. With all the
skipping to and fro between operating systems, I can't say for sure
whether or not I've seen this in 9.

Can anyone else make it happen?

Mr Tea
