There seems to be a minor bug in the script editor (7.3.4 b599).  
The following script causes an ArrayIndexOutOfBoundException when you try to position the cursor to the line with the closing quotes.  
I stumbled across this while trying to make a long SQL-Query more readable.

```auto
print """Line 1
       Another line
"""
```

Thanks for letting us know. We’ve upgrade the editor component in 7.4 which I’m guessing will fix the problem. I’ll give it a try.
