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?

Joe,
same here.
The problem is the if statement together with the "app running".
"app running" by itself does not present any problem.
I believe it is a bug and you should report it.
