There is some pretty interesting behavior here. The menu that this is run from is built dynamically and currently has a bug, that is it adds the first item as 'ERROR' becuase its reading it from an ini, and I know there is nothing there for it to find(not a biggie). When a new file is opened from the open menu item, its file path is added to this menu, the one that runs the above. When its closed, its removed.

But here is the issue, when this label is executed from the menu item 'Error' the msgbox comes up with the expected result of 'error' and the wintitle changes, and all is well; However, when a file name is picked from that menu, the msgbox doesnt appear and the windows title is unchanged, But the Gosub label IS executed. Whats up with this? Please have a look.

Assuming you're running 1.0.38.04, this may have been fixed in newer versions. If that's not it, I could use a short test script to reproduce the issue.

I was using 1.0.38.3 and downloaded the lastest and this is still the case.

I produced the following with out sucess of a reproduction, but this is damn close to what I do. And with futher testing the ListLines doesnt even show the Msgbox to executed or the two lines used to change the windowtitle, OR the splitpath

If you can ever reproduce this please let me know. Lately, I'm trying to avoid chasing irreproducible bugs because it causes me to get further behind schedule on other improvements I want to make.

good thing you didnt chase this 'bug', the error, was on my part. When creating the dynamic menu, I was adding the wrong gosub(the gosub used in the routine, which caused my to think there was a bug). Thank you for your efforts anyway.
