I'm having desperate trouble trying to get certain scripts to run properly from the palette. The common thread seems to be that if I try to adjust the size of a text frame it will work from Script Debugger but not from the palette.

I've narrowed it down to this snippet:

set myCapBounds to geometric bounds of myCapFrame
set myBottom to baseline of character -1 of myCapFrame
set item 3 of myCapBounds to myBottom + 0.667
set geometric bounds of myCapFrame to myCapBounds

That last command is not succeeding when run from the palette but works fine in Script Debugger. I was at first using visible bounds but switched to geometric to see if it made a difference -- it didn't.

I guess that I can insert returns to narrow it down further.
