I can't see the bottom area of the script editor.
I've been messing around with the script windows and I've done something wrong because I can no longer see the bottom of the script editor. Neither the last two or three lines of code nor the "find" button nor the "Errors, Variables, Documentation etc." tabs.
I have turned the computer (iMAc) off and on, tried earlier versions of LiveCode (currently using 9.0.0) but it doesn't fix it.
Any suggestions please?

Re: I can't see the bottom area of the script editor.
There should be a draggable divider between the panes of the SE. If you hover the mouse down near the bottom edge of the window, you should get the double-headed arrow cursor to resize the panes, which you can drag upwards to show the bottom pane again. Hopefully.

Thanks, SparkOut. I already know that draggable divider, I use it frequently but it is not the error, I just saw a post reporting the same problem.

Have been advised to delete the preferences but I'm a bit scared, I'll wait for some other suggestion or try other options.

SOLVED!... by intentionally causing an error.
I created a new stack, with a button and an instruction that tried to write something in a non-existent field and when the error was reported, the script editor window returned to its normal state.

Good work.
The SE, like the message box, always seems to be just a bit off. Kicking it is very satisfying.

Hi,
For some strange reasons LC seems to corrupt the prefs in quite regular intervals, since ages. And for other strange reasons the mothership doesn't regard this a shameful bug, not worth fixing. Well ...
I have a customized version of the prefs stack saved, write protected, as "_livecode.rev". Whenever my original one shows signs of strange behavior, I delete it & restore it via copy/ rename. Done in a minute. Don't forget to make it writable again.
Have fun!
Deleting the prefs is no big deal. Restoring the old setting is quickly done, usually.

Thank you very much, Craig and AxWald for your comments and suggestions.

I also had (a similar?) problem that the RESIZER button disappeared and Bernd Niggemann gave me this code snippet,
which made that namely button visible again, maybe this will help you with your problem, too.
Open ONE script editor window and enter this in the message box:
Et voila, the script editor was usable again.
