Invisible, Nonsense-Error-Generating Trash in GDL Scripts

I was advised by Tech Support to post this here. It is distressing (to me) that Archicad has so much trouble running a robust * checks notes * text window, but we all know that Resources Are Limited.

 

GDL scripts occasionally, invisibly, glitch and start generating nonsense errors. Naturally, fake errors can't be corrected. It would be nice if this didn't happen!

 

Here is my thread about a fix for this: https://twitter.com/jamesm00001/status/1584936226905239552

 

Here is the crash report number: AC25-2022-10-20-15-55-25-4574. Not sure why this forum can make better use of this info than Tech Support, but I am trying to be cooperative.

 

Thanks in advance for ignoring this and making the rest of AC so perfect. https://community.Graphisoft.com/t5/Developer-forum/Sincere-Thanks-for-Not-Wasting-Resources-on-the-...

@Peter Baksa ,

Here is a good example of the difference between the main GDL editor and the pop-out script if you haven't seen it.
