I want refresh another win editor problem (listed in known bug list):

1. remove first line and save, current script is:
    #while(Z<1)
    #local
    #end
    Parse Error: Expected 'numeric expression', undeclared identifier 'Z' found
instead

2. Ctrl+Z back removed line and remove second line (arrow down, shift+arrow
down+del), current script is:
    #local Z=0;
    #local
    #end
    Parse Error: Expected 'numeric expression', undeclared identifier 'Z' found
instead

Seems editor not checked that content of windows is changed.

I confirm that this happens. The "save" icon is greyed out (presumably
because the editor is convinced that the text hasn't changed) you have
to use Ctrl-S or the File->Save menu to force it to be saved.

Does CodeMax have its own known bug list where this is listed? I'm
pretty sure it's never been in my POV known bug list.

You have listed it as:

First report from bugreports
http://news.povray.org/u12outsm2kso3k5ef4lp26ogm5cvsm46ge@4ax.com

Just check this post: there are three listed. I don't know why but you never
unrolled this list. Seems only first is fixed now as Rune reported.

Ain't that an infinite loop?

Yes, but it's worse than that.  It's essentially the same as if you wrote
a file that was just #local #local #local #local #local ad infinitum, with
the result that the parser stackfaults.
