I started writing a few simple lines of a GHPython script and then opened the help toolbar to search for a Rhino.Geometry constructor. When I clicked on the object, it disables the Run Script functions in both the drop-down toolbar, F5 key, and green play icon so I can’t run the script again unless I restart rhino and grasshopper. I tested it a few times and clicked on different RhinoCommon constructors, properties and methods and it appears to be happening to some but not all of the ones I tried for instance, it did happen for a LengthValue Method but didn’t happen when I clicked on a RhinoRender Property. Is this some kind of bug or something else?
@Crum This is definitely a bug.
When you click on properties in the help panel, editor tries to pull the documentation for that property from internet and opens a new preview tab on the top-right corner. When this tab is open, the run buttons get disabled since you can’t run what is being shown in the preview.
For some reason the preview is failing on your machine and leaves the buttons disabled. I wonder if they would re-enabled if you switch script tabs.
I created this ticket to get it fixed
