Good news: You're not crazy 🙂

> We've seen some instances in the past few months of our Perspective applications having trouble calling library functions when no changes have been made to the project, the logs will just begin having entries stating the scripting path isn't recognized. When this happens we have to open the project and re-save it and this fixes the issue, which means it shouldn't be an actual problem with anything in the library (e.g. syntax errors or actual changes applied to views or the libraries themselves). …

Yours is a somewhat different manifestation (most reporters are having issues locating project scripts) but my educated guess/hope is that it's ultimately the same bug internally. I _suspect_ it has to do with the live-update of scripts 'attached' to each client session whenever changes are made in the designer; it might be helpful (for your sanity) to see if you can prove a correlation between saving changes in the designer and issues in live sessions.
