Component Manager Error

As per Lawrence's instructions last March, I widened my editorBox window in Radio, to 111. That has been working just fine for these many months.

Now, Mac OS X's MSIE is getting cranky, and I wanted to switch to Mozilla, since I'm quite pleased with Mozilla over MSIE on Windows itself. But Mozilla chose a different font, and now I want to shrink my editorBox window width back down to around 80.

As soon as I select Radio's Tools -> Developer -> Jump, I get a pair of windows showing up. One is a dialog box, claiming:

Component Manager error. Its code number is -111.

The other one is a small window with three "lines":

  • label ERROR
  • textfield ERROR
  • a selector that says "scratchpad", and two buttons, Cancel, and OK

The only thing you can do that has any apparent effect is to hit the OK button in the Component Manager Error window. Then, both windows go away pretty fast, and then I get:

The Application "RADIO" HAS UNEXPECTEDLY QUIT.

I tried it again, and the 2nd time, the small ERROR window comes up and the Component Manager Error window comes up again and again, as long as you hit its only ("OK") button. After four or five times, Radio quits, although it is no longer unexpected, at least to me.

It gets these errors whether I'm running Mozilla or MSIE. I'm running Mac OS X version 10.2.2.
