Title: Re: "running" property causes Script
Editor nervous breakd
Using System Events, processes works fine. I was playing around
with the new 'running' property introduced with Leopard.
The script is not corrupt, or I should say writing it again and
saving anew still results in the behavior I described.
Rebooting doesn't help either. It seems to be the one line of
script I posted.
Every other AppleScript I have is still working properly so I
don't think it is a system issue either.

Saved as a compiled script on the desktop.
Double-clicking the script to open it starts up both Safari and Script
Editor, but opens no windows in either application. Double-clicking
the script once again opens a window with the script's text visible,
but the window is named "Window" not "test" or
"test.scpt" as the file is named.
More misbehavior occurs if I try to change and save the script. The
open and save box comes up, I click "Save" and nothing
gets saved. If I close "Window" then I'm asked to save which
works.
Running the script does not activate Safari either. This part of the
behavior will change and start working if I direct the script at
Eudora rather than Safari. Eudora activates as it should.
I'm on Leopard and a G5 Power Mac.
Has anyone seen this? Is it a bug? Is my OS broken? Am I broken? Have
I misread the page on the running property?
It sounds like your script's corrupt.
What happens when you save the following as a separate
script?
tell application "System
Events"
if not
(every application process contains "Safari")
then
run
script "tell application \"Safari\" to
activate"
end
if
end tell
