Anyone seen Script Editor doing odd things in 9.1? I've got a couple of things going on that are peculiar. One of them has been happening since 9.0, and the other is only 9.1 related.

First issue. I can't copy things from and paste things to Script Editor using the keyboard. I've got the extension CopyPaste installed to give me multiple clipboards, and I can use the clip pallet to copy and paste, but the clipboard doesn't work from the keyboard. It works in all other applications. I'm wondering if this is related to the fact that Script Editor is Carbonized and the other applications aren't, or if it's a conflict with CopyPaste, or if there's a problem with Script Editor. I haven't done any testing, but I'm betting that it's a Carbon (possibly CarbonLib) issue or a conflict with CP.

The second issue is even more bizarre. When I do something in Script Editor - could be any of a number of activities - the highlight colour behind the menu item that was invoked (or if it was done with a hotkey combo, the menu that would have been invoked had I used a pull-down menu) starts to flash erratically and there are delays in everything you do. It's extremely strange. I've never seen any application do this before, ever. Scripter and Script Debugger are not displaying any of this oddness.

I'd say it's odd, my Script Editor has decided it wishes to display menu items etc in Japanese (Japanese Language kit not installed). Nothing I've done (trash prefs) yet has fixed it past one restart. I just don't use it anymore.
