Make a long script
Somewhere in the middle of the script, Add a command that requires selecting a square or area
Now you can are at the top of the script and not the command you just added.

Thanks for reporting this! Just to confirm, you're talking about editing the script and the UI displaying the wrong spot in the commands window, and not during play execution, correct?

Right, this is in the script editing UI. It's not that it's displaying something wrong, it's that the "current line cursor" jumps all the way back to the start of the code instead of just returning to the script command that wanted a rectangular area selected. I'm not confident this really is a bug, but it's very annoying when trying to script something complicated with a lot of lines of code, to have to go find where you were again every single time.

This is kind of like if typing the name of a certain constant inside of your C++ coding program, or something like that, had it suddenly jump your typing cursor to the beginning of the entire document.

Honestly, this has been the behaviour for so long that I just kind of stopped thinking about it. It'd be really nice to have it fixed.

I can confirm that adding a command with a square/area selection does not jump to the top of the script in 5.2.0.727.
