Hi

The script editor / parser in 1.3.5 (on Windows, at least) has several
bugs, 2 of them nasty ones:

1) When you reload a previously loaded script (i.e. after "reshow
Mathmap" in Gimp) it inserts a blank line between each pair of lines.
It will do this repeatedly. It also does not always display all those
blank lines; but if you save and look with a text editor they are all
there. Sometimes this seems to lead to the error message "at least
one filter must be defined" at parse time, sometimes the script runs
OK. This does not seem to depend on what line ending style the file
uses, I have tried both Unix (LF) and MS-DOS (CR,LF) text.

2) It often crashes with a message about "byte beyond end of line"
when parsing, apparently after first trying to pop a parse error
message box. This usually results from some malformed expression I
have just typed, but I believe I have seen it on a script that was
just loaded, but not edited yet -- so had presumably passed some kind
of parse already.

I have already mentioned the useless error messages about other
scripts, issued every time you load or save one.

Cheers, Tom
