I've never had any problem with car and cdr— in fact given their origins I rather liked the names. Why does every one think they are broken?

I don't know how easy this will be to duplicate, but I've had to deal with two problems in the editor. 1. use ALT-2 to place cursor in REPL window, then 2. a simple click back in editor window flips the changed status. 3. next, after a save and a switch to the REPL window, hitting return results in:...
