works as decribed by the OP ... lots of PB's didn't even try to count them
an easy reproducable glitch.

try to give an indication of what the object is like naming a button PBxxxxxxxx. So we have a button that is named CustomButton and somewhere else we have code that refers to it. Now change the name of the button to PBCustomButton. Go look at the if statement and you now have:

if(PBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBPBP.....................

Didn't actually count the PBs but the code that used to be there is gone replaced by PBPB..........

yupp, this is actually true. happened to me a lot, only workaround is to not rename your objects

Well I actually found a better way (for me anyway) but I'm sort of a workaround guy and generally fearless with code. It's also helped me get around a LOT of the editor issues. I just edit the jzml file directly.
LET ME REITERATE! THIS IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART AND IS PROBABLY NOT RECOMMENDED BY THE DEVELOPERS. Since I've been writing code for 30+ years I'm comfortable with my skills doing this.
I also have about 30 copies of the jzml file so if I screw up I can go back. But I now have a powerful editor, I use BBEdit, and it gives me the ability to do a lot of things that I'd never be able to do in the Lemur editor simply because I have a bunch of AppleScripts setup to do things for me (like generate consecutively numbered variables and VERY specific find and replace operations).
I have asked a ton of questions and will shortly pay the community back by releasing my template. It's pretty specific to what I do for fun but if anyone is doing DMX using the ENTTEC DMXIS they're gonna LOVE this template.

Thanks for the response!

This is a known bug and has been fixed for the next point release.
