Apple

Whe I run:

tell application "TextEdit" to tell document 1 to tell word 1 of paragraph 1 of its text to set g to its properties

I get this log report:

tell application "TextEdit"

get properties of word 1 of paragraph 1 of every text of document 1

{size:10.0, color:{0, 0, 0}, font:"Monaco", class:text}

end tell

which clearly show that the result is a record.

Your error is that when you ask for class of g, you are assuming that you will get the class of the object g.

The truth is that you get the property 'class' embedded in the record.

If you run this script :

tell application "TextEdit"

tell document 1

set g to properties of word 1 of paragraph 1

log class of g

end tell

tell application "AppleWorks 6"

set props to (get properties of document 1)

log class of props

end tell

It will be more clear:

tell application "TextEdit"

get properties of word 1 of paragraph 1 of document 1

{size:10.0, color:{0, 0, 0}, font:"Monaco", class:text}

(*text*)

end tell

tell application "AppleWorks 6"

get properties of document 1

{class:text document, name:"sans titre", index:1, modified:true, title:"", margins:{72, 72, 72, 72}, author:"", version:"", keywords:"", category:"", description:"", autohyphenate:false, file:false, merge file:false, date format:numeric date, fractional character widths:false, smart quotes:true, side handles:true, polygon autoclose:false, show invisibles:false, smooth fonts:true, word wrap:true, autosmooth:true, shift constraint:45}

(*text document*)

end tell

The record sent by TextEdit contains the property: class:text

The one sent by AppleWorks contains the property: class:text document.

I don't want to be rude but what is buggy is your analysis, not the behavior.
